Lemieux_Black and White to Color

 

        In this project I utilized Adobe Photoshop to transform an image into four different variations of color. The original image used in this photo is a photograph of myself on a vacation in Cabo Mexico showcasing me outside next to a large cactus. The purpose of this image was to showcase myself connecting to nature. For this project I began by transforming the image into black and white on Photoshop so that I had a good base for what came next. I began with by black and white image and choose three variations of color plates that I feel best fit this image using abode color generator. For the first colored version I chose a triad of colors, the second featuring a split complementary, and the last was complementary color palate. Once I had my colors I placed those in photoshop and began tracing over the various elements within the image using both the quick selection tool and the magnetic lasso tool. I then transformed each of these elements into new layers adding my chosen colors to them and adjusting the opacity until satisfied. I followed these exact steps for the remaining two images following my selected color palates. All and all I found this to be a very interesting and useful project that required me to exercise patience and attention to detail.

Business Cards

Original Sketches 3 Designed Business Cards   Artist Statement For this assignment I created my own personal business cards using Adobe InDesign. I first began by sketching out my original vision of what I thought I wanted my business cards to look like, however when it came time to actually designing I found new inspiration. I first step up the layout of the InDesign file to have six sides too it so three cards in total. I then downloaded two image backgrounds from Morguefile which I placed in the background of my cards to act as a backdrop for the rest of my design. I next created various designs including a sunflower, my initials, a border, and different colored variations of my tag brush. I arranged all of these designs into three different cards putting contact information on the back including a mock email address and phone number. My overall goal for the cards was to keep them simplistic yet make them unique in design. Overall, I am happy with the end result of each card and...

Animation

Image
  Artist  Statement  For this assignment I worked on creating my own animation using Adobe Photoshop. For the animation I decided to do it with the inspiration of my dog chasing a ball. To create it I found an image of a dog through a google search in two different positions that would look like it is running and sitting. I also found an image of a tennis ball and used the quick election tool to trace around the ball. When it came time to creating the actual frame animations I decided to create a story of two dogs chasing one another and chasing after the ball. Overall, I found this assignment to be slightly challenging when creating the vision that I had in my mind, however I am happy with how it turned out.
