Color Theory Collage Self Portrait

                        What I did in this one was create a collage using Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Elements 08. I put some inside items like Soul Eater Evans (his soul) in the "O" for the word soul. Its a representation for my passion and heart. I put a city like New York, New York because I am from New York, but never had been to the city. A place for people to come together of all kinds, and no one cares. A girl with her arms wide open to show how open I am to new thoughts and Ideas, also to show confidence. I made sure there was water in the picture to show a reflection, I enjoy seeing people happy and glad to help others, to see a little part of my influence. I put Blue jays in there just to have an animal to show I have compassion. I enjoy the sky in the background immensely. It makes it feel like I have multiple personalities at certain times. When necessary. I also added a Deadmau5 symbol in the background to show an music example, plus it looked cool when I added a reflection in the water.

                      I didn't really learn much in this activity because I already had that knowledge. But it was fun but I still feel like I need more perfection. Oh well, it's exceptionable, and shows me inside it all over. I might work on it at home later just for fun.

Animals, Initials, Masking, & Textures

My animal is an Elephant. I have the initials H.J.H. I created a body out of one the H by turning it sideways. I made the feet of the elephant by taking the other H and just widening it and flattening it out. The J was the trunk. It doesn't actually look like it has a head but it works somehow. I masked the text with a texture from a picture found on Google images. It was a lighter skin one so I assume it is an Asian elephant, if that's the correct name of course (I learned the breeds and how they look). But I guess that doesn't matter. Any-who, it has been completed and i enjoyed this assignment. I thank Parker for giving me an idea of an elephant, better than a planking man.
