Day 28 – Wrap up post

My Favorite outcomes from this project.

Okay so today marks the last day of the Creative Habit Project and Design for Media. This project helped me solidify my photo manipulation skills and find new non-commercial ways to edit my photographs. Overall I’m okay with it, but I’m ready for break from computer screens and deadlines. As far as the future for this blog I really have no clue how or even if it will be continued. So I’ll leave things open ended for now.

Creative Habit Week 2

Alright so this week for research we went to the art museum. Going into it I didn’t think I’d find anything related to my project but I was happily surprised when I found Robert Rauschenberg’s Carbird IV.  A work made almost entirely of photos mounted onto cardboard .

Creative Habit – Week One – “The Trial Run”

an online tutorials final image and my takes on it

I don’t think my proposal post covered how/why I use tutorials to help better my skill set in post photo production.  After talking it over at the end of class on thursday it was decided that the 1st week of my creative habit would be a test run of sorts. The main goal I have for myself during this creative adventure in photoshop is to try and let go of all the patterns my brain seems to be stuck in when it comes to how you can use photoshop. Since as of right now I only edit in photoshop mostly for commercial work.

Below I’ve got some research and artist inspiration scanned from books at the library.

Day 5 – Explosions in portraits

I took inspiration from this “Sandstorm” Action effect (x)

Obviously I’m not gonna use photoshop actions for this project. so I looked around for a similar effect, and found help from a mix of 2 tutorials online.
