Somewhere


Somewhere Toy Project

Artist Statement:
        For the toy project I decided to place myself in a Barbie box while posing as a toy Barbie. In doing this, I aimed to successfully display my Photoshop abilities while editing myself in such a way that made me look like a toy. The way in which I edited myself allows for the overall concept of a Barbie in a box to be emphasized. My stance is also relevant in showing how Barbies stand in more robotic ways as their limbs don't move as freely as human's do. 
        Each aspect of this composition is relevant in the piece itself and shows how I have turned myself into a toy. I was careful in how I photoshopped myself in to look like I was behind the plastic of the box and the cardboard encasing the doll. I also had to edit the box in a way that showed only myself as the doll and highlighted the plastic to look shinier and more realistic. With regards to myself, or the Barbie, I had to create an airbrushed and more fake look on my skin which is highlighted in a more plastic-like manner. Additionally, I made a longer head for myself and larger eyes which are common characteristics for Barbie dolls. Lastly I gave myself darker eye makeup to look like a doll.
        Overall, I feel as if I was successful in creating a realistic toy. The way that I edited myself to have more of a plastic-like look is relevant in how this piece is viewed. I believe that the way I placed myself is visually intrigued and fits the criteria of the project.

Tag Brush

TAG BRUSH ARTIST STATEMENT:          The piece I have created is a tag brush of my previously created travel logo. This brush can be used as a stamp and can be place wherever desired. The composition above shows the brush stamped a few times to create a psychedelic blue and purple effect that is visually appealing.          As stated before when describing my logo, this piece highlights my traveling and yearn to explore the world and other cultures. What is interesting about this composition specifically is that the logo is now a stamp that can be easily transferred and simply pasted on any other work of art. This makes it accessible and allows for it to be changed to multiple different colors and looks depending on what is necessary.         Overall, this tagbrush is relevant in being able to use the logo I created and apply it to other compositions. It can be made visually appealing and fitting to whatever color and look it needs to have, and is a simple way to put the log

Self Portrait Poster

SELF PORTRAIT POSTER ARTIST STATEMENT:         The piece that I have created is a self portrait poster that represents myself in a propaganda type manner. I used a recent photo of myself to create a simple composition in every way possible except for my face. With my face, I aimed to use color to create the highlights and shadows from the original image through a variety of colorful shapes. In doing this, I aimed to create a visually appealing, colorful composition that still fit the criteria of the poster assignment.          My self portrait poster is based on the quote "always dream in color." I decided to create my piece to exemplify the idea of living life to it's greatest extents and to live your best life- in a propaganda style. I used a large amount of different lines and shapes to make my face look as realistic as possible and relate similarly to the original image. I chose to put the quote on one side of the image rather than both sides or center
