Scary Expressions




When I look at this picture I think of dreams that I have had where I am hiking and then I come up to a bridge. When I look at the bridge it looks like a normal bridge then all of a sudden things start to fly at me and all I see is white orbs and I don't know what they are till they call out to me. Thats what this picture reminds me of.






When I look at this picture it makes me think of a horror movie that I watched when I was younger. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and turning on the t.v and then seeing all of these zombies. I remember that I was so scared I could not sleep for days. Everytime I look at this picture I remember back to that night. Thats what this picture reminds me of.



Everytime I look at this picture it reminds me of someone who recieved third degree burns to their face. It makes me think that since the person was burned so badly that they are evil to everyone. So I think that since the person is evil they try to scare everyone away with a scary face. Thats what this picture reminds me of.

The Scream: My Interpertation

The reason the person in the scream picture is screaming is because he is being followed to be killed. He is trying to show you how you feel and react to fear. I can see that the reason he is scared is because he is the only one who is in this desolate place other than the one person who is coming to get him as the end of the world comes. He is the last one left on earth and she man in the shadows with what looks like no face is coming after him, and fear is coming in to him and he can do nothing but scream. Lastly he is screaming because he thinks that he is the only one left and he feels bad for everything that he has done bad and wrong in his life.

Creative Me

This project was an opportunity for us to put the tools we have learned to use. We were to take one of our portraits, and change it creatively using the following: selection tools, layers, adjustment layers, layer styles, blending options, paint brushes and opacity.

What I like about this image is the way that i am postioned and how I look like I am focused on something that is important. I like how I can put a gradiant on the background and then combine the layers so they look nice and like they are all one. I feel like I am able to use photoshop but that i might still need more practice, but i feel semi confident.

Adjustment Layers

In this exercise we learned about Adjustment layers. Adjustment layers allow you to add adjustments to your image on separate layers instead of directly to the image itself. This comes in handy during long complicated projects. In Photoshop every tool is specifically designed to help improve your photo. However, here we took some artistic liberties and explored adjustments creatively.
