Title: Vogue Magazine Portrait

Semester/Year: Spring 2022

Software: Adobe Photoshop

As an aspiring Actor/Model, I decided to utilize photoshop so I can envision what would happen if/or when I’m blessed to be on the cover of a magazine. I used a photo of a woman holding up a blank magazine cover, then I uploaded a picture of me on to a different layer, before scaling it down from its original size and overlaying on to the first layer. I though that what have been it however, when overlaying the picture of me, the picture was also overlaying the woman holding the magazines cover’s hands which made it look, well … photoshopped. However with the help of the masking tool, I was able to mask out the woman’s fingers, and made the final project look more palatable & realistic.

Title: Hollywood Walk of Fame Portrait

Semester/Year: Spring 2022

Software: Adobe Illustrator

I’ve never had the chance to go Los Angeles, so I got on adobe illustrator, and illustrated what I Imagined the Hollywood walk of fame would look like. Using the line segment tool, I drew two perpendicular lines to be the sidewalk, then I used the star tool to draw out the stars, then used the text box to write some of the inductees of the walk of fame. I also used the rectangle shape tool as well as the circle shape tool, to draw a 2d camera at the left hand corner.
