College Update #4: Digital Media

The fourth class I'm taking this semester is digital media. It's a class about photography and Photoshop. These are some of the pictures I took for this class. Most of these are already on my flickr.

One of our projects was to take a picture based on the theme "darkness rising," and to practice using some of the different lighting techniques we learned about in class. I decided to go with a fallen angel theme. I took this picture in my dorm room and used my desk lamp for the lighting. 

For an in class assignment, we could do anything we wanted using photoshop techniques we learned that day. I decided to further edit a picture I made for a friend. I think it's safe to say that this is my favorite class. 

For another homework assignment, we had to clone ourselves. These are the two pictures I made. 

Our most recent assignment was to create a portrait of someone by making a collage out of pictures our professor gave us. I decided to use a picture of Buster from Arrested Development. This was extremely time consuming and by the time I was finished I had around 300 layers.
