This week in class we had to do a propaganda piece. I chose to make a piece into a school rule. At Shorecrest, you are not aloud to have tattoos, but if you do, you must have it covered up. So i used a old piece of my class mate Dylan, and made him black and white, an out cast. Along with the rest of the class walking away. The i put some expressions and a catch line i came up with, Personal expression prevents depression. Which in fact i think does. If people cant express your self, infact they will become depressed.

This week in class we could do what ever we wanted. So i took it upon my self to learn something new. I found a tutorial on PSD tuts about the camera raw filter in photoshop. Unfortunately, I dont have the plug in, so i had to go into adobe bridge and use the program from there. I took a picture of my fathers car and played around in camera raw for a class period until i figured it out. Then i played with all the adjustments, there are so many! After I experimented with the adjustments, and got them how i wanted it to look, I put this image back in Photoshop and used HDR on it. I only mildly affected in HDR so it still looks real but also so it looks slightly edited.

This is a piece i made in the style of Zadith Sarazeeya. I took a picture of a fellow class mate Dylan and used him in my piece. I am not completely finished but i almost am. I took him and added the tattoos to his arms and neck. I also put the cigarette in to make him look hard. The tattoos took a while to integrate but i finally got them and i think they look pretty good.  I may add a few more depending on how much time i have.
