Self Portrait Project Final<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adobe Photoshop<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my self portrait, I featured some specific symbols and images to describe myself and my hobbies. Unfortunately, most of my hobbies involve heavily copyrighted material; so there was a challenge in trying to find the proper images to communicate to everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Television: My love of animation started as a child viewing television weekday afternoons and on Saturday mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Comic Panels: Reading a comic strip daily in the newspaper, and then later, amassing my own comic book collection. This is where I developed a fondness, not just for the art, but for storytelling as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game Controller: I’m old enough to remember videogame arcades in every mall (remember those?), inside every corner store\/bodega and have seen the rise and fall of several videogame companies. I’ve played (and still have) all of my game systems, from an Atari 2600 to my PlayStation 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucky the Dog: All of these items are being watched over by my dog Lucky. Lucky is now 16 years old and has been by my side as I have read, watched or played away my leisure time for most of his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not too much in the way of effects on this project, as the void of space and the contrast of a white dog doesn’t leave much room for added filters. I wanted to do a blend effect with the 3 images bursting forth from star shapes; but to my disappointment, that effect isn’t on Photoshop. At least that I know of at my current skill level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
