Cyborg Project

Whats On Your Mind

This project was all about taking a picture of ourselves, quick masking the picture, and then using the lasso tool on photoshop to cut the top of our heads and seperating them from our body. Then, we can have an array of objects coming out from our heads and we can show what we have on our minds. I love pumpkins and all the gardens we have at my house in the spring and in the fall. My dad grows huge pumpkins and that is a big discussion topic at my house. So, I decided to put myself in a pumpkin patch and then have pumpkins coming out of my head. It is a unique idea, yet very personal to me. After I finished putting the pumpkins in, I burned the edges of my head to make it look like the pumpkins are coming out, and I added brush tools to make it look like vines are hanging off of them. I am very happy with my product because it really shows what is important to me and I worked really hard on this project.

Bottle Cap Assignment

For the bottlecap assignment I used my boyfriend for inspriration. I knew that if I made him a magnet and two or 3 necklaces for him to wear with this design on it, then he'd love it. I started with a 1x1 in document on photoshop and I got a picture of a heart from the internet. We were instructed to make our project about a heart. I cut out the heart the way it would look nice with the background, and I pasted onto a 1 in diameter circlue. The writing says, "The key to my heart", and has my name in the heart. I gave it to my boyfriend and told him he had the key to my heart. He loved it. This project was very successful.
