Autoscopy Project

Assignment: Self portrait alteration. Scan or take a photo your face at 72dpi and transform it into something you never knew of yourselves. Explore layer effects and PhotoShop filters.

My autoscopy is supposed to represent me constantly fighting to battle my emotions and keep them in line, which is slowly causing me to crack. I struggled to find an idea for this project, so I was grateful that I had photos taken of myself crying on my phone. Above is the original photo for the project, below are the four gifs I was required to have for the final grade.

Now that sounds depressing, but hey, it’ll never be ‘sophomore/junior year of high school’ depressing. That pr...

Logos Project

For this project, we were told to choose five words we thought properly described ourselves. I chose bubbly, kind, patient, cluttered, and adventurous. With each word, I made five sketches to brainstorm before creating a logo for the word. Below are each word with its mood board, sketches, and final logo. Bubbly Kind Patient Cluttered Adventurous (word colorings would change to either white or black depending on background, so I used a night sky gradient to demonstrate the white.) After creating these logos and their respective mood boards, I decided to choose "bubbly" for the rest of my project. I put the logo on business cards and tested it on 3D objects to make sure it maintained its shape and could be recognizable. I definitely think I managed to overthink this project, but it was fun to do! My designs definitely were not simple enough to be used as a true logo. I chose the word bubbly because I've always been described as smili...
