Introduction to Multimedia
I have spent my past couple of weeks obsessing over Minecraft and nature documentaries. I have been looking towards longer forms of calm entertainment, and I have landed on nature documentaries and Minecraft- creative mode (easy). I’ve been very busy recently, so to ground myself, I always go back to my simple pleasures. This is a combination of the two.
So for this image, My theme is Marvel and DC superheroes cause I love superheroes. What I did was, I’ve chosen Thor from Marvel and Flash from DC, I put a DC background cause in this image they are fighting each other. And then I pit a black and white filter cause it is cool.

“Red Velvet”
Spring 2025
I decided to make a little nature collage with my favorite K-pop group named “Red Velvet!” I added some of my own shapes and implemented some halftone effects to give some texture to the images I cut. Some other effects I used was the Hue/Sat adjustment layers. I created a border with some flowers which is my favorite part of this image.

“The Jungle World”
Spring 2025
Made with Photoshop
I decided to further enhance the image I composited together of a monkey sitting on a tree with a snake found in a rainforest. While I think the composite highlights the diversity of the rainforest, it is also a personal representation of my job at the Bronx Zoo, where one of the star attractions, Jungle World, also features monkeys and snakes. I decided to update the image with a more upbeat and welcoming vibe, utilizing the gradient map tool, ellipse tool, and an original pattern to accomplish this.
I used the following images:

“All you need“
Spring 2025
Made with Photoshop
Music and love—what else? Inspired by John Lennon’s iconic song All You Need Is Love, I used a layer mask on the guitar and blending modes to fuse a mandala image into the instrument. The background was posterized to create a painted effect, blending seamlessly with the composition. Seashells, enhanced with bold gradient maps, complete the vibrant psychedelic theme.
I used the following images:

“Under the Sea”
Spring 2025
Made with Photoshop
Because I am a Pisces, I am often inspired by the ocean. I added an image of Ariel to my under the ocean background. For my font, I created a pattern of waves crashing to demonstrate what occurs above sea. I kept the gradient natural, but I used levels to adjust the brightness of Ariel and the sea.
I used the following images below:

“Best Friend But Always a Problem”
Spring 2025
Made with Photoshop
i added a cat into an image of a caucasian Dog in a snow. I Wanted to give the Dog a friend to hang out with in the snow but it’s always obvious that Cat and a Dod always will have issues when they are together, that’s why the Dog is thinking ” Best Friend But Always a Problem”. i used a gradient adjustment and posterized filter to create a non-photorealistic look.
i used the following

For my “first” photoshop composite I wanted to use colors I don’t usually use so I landed on pink. I decided to layer and move multiple shapes around until I got a composition I liked. I used the multiply and other layering effects to get this monochrome picture with the colors overlapping.
In order to complete my final project, I reused the image I created last week in Photoshop. I created a pattern using some common elements from a popular anime “Naruto”, and I decided to add the words “Beat the Heat” because the setting of the image is a hot desert. The original background of the desert and camel was generated by AI.

For this project I used an image of an mma octagon and photoshopped myself into it. I like mma and martial arts in general so it inspired me to base my project off of it.
