Title: Self Portrait
Semester/Year: Spring 2023
Software: Photoshop
Description: For my photoshop self portrait I chose to create an image of a Crow dunking a basketball on an eagle and added the course name using the text tool and warp effect. The crow is one of my favorite animals and my favorite sport is basketball so i felt this was the best way to include a couple of things that I’m interested in into one photo. I duplicated and cut the basketball from the original image and placed the layer over the crow giving the affect of the bird holding the ball. I also had to tinker with shadows and lighting effects in order to make the eagle match the lighting of the basketball hoop photo.

Description: I used Illustrator’s shape creating tools to make various shapes to create a cartoonish image of me. I used the brush tool to add texture to the hair. and I manipulated the curves of circles/ovals in order to create the facial features like birthmarks, facial hair, piercings, etc.
