Restoration





(Left-Original) With this assignment, I attempted to restore an old photograph with tears, creases, and discoloration. I used various Photoshop tools like the spot healing brush, the clone stamp tool, and the blur tool. I paid special attention to the faces, because any mistakes are much more visibly noticable. The most difficult part was the plaid on the woman's shirt, as it was hard to distinguish the pattern from the creases in that area. I had to imagine what some parts looked like since they were so obscured, but I attempted to make it as realistic as possible. I tried not to use the dodge/burn tools because they took away from the sepia tone of the image.

Video Art

I ended up using the Photo Booth application on my Mac to record a video using the heat map effect. I experimented with how the effect worked by moving different distances from the camera and moving my hand over the camera, causing a flickering effect where the heatmap colors changed temporarily. I utilized technology by recording myself using various devices- my phone, laptop, and game console. The way that the heatmap responded to the screens of the devices was interesting. To edit the video, I used Final Cut Pro to import each clip, trim them, and use various effects. I used different opacities to overlay clips onto each other, in order to achieve a more complex image. I also added overlay trails, kaleidoscopes, mirror images, and duplication. These eff...

Flipbook

My goal with this flipbook was primarily to create a story that has some cohesive elements but is still abstract. The included various different 'scenes' like a guy getting rained on, finding an umbrella, and then abandoning the umbrella only for a frog to fall on it. The frog then catches a fly with its tongue and transforms into Pikachu from the Pokemon series. Pikachu gets captured by a Pokeball, which is then abducted by an alien spaceship. The ship turns pink and morphs into a heart, which undergoes a series of transformations.

Xerox Project

I attempted to create a piece of art primarily using curly hair texture and hand prints. The hand prints gradually change from hovering over the scanner to fully pressing against it, creating a gradation. The curly hair was intended to look like waves or flowers that the hand is gradually reaching towards.
