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.

FINAL PORTFOLIO

FMX210 FINAL PORTFOLIO ARTIST STATEMENT:         FMX210 has been a complex yet rewarding class over this past fall semester. This course has taught me the logistics of countless Adobe programs which have bettered my digital media skills. Attached is my portfolio which includes each final project from each program we worked with. My portfolio is themed as red and black with the font Mercurius MT std bold to better the overall composition. Each page is a different project and is done in chronological order from the first unit through the last.

The theme I chose to create wa...
