Anxiety/Stress Autoscopy

Using our knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, we were tasked with developing an art piece known as an Autoscopy. This piece included a picture of ourselves and using the layering/filter features of Photoshop we meshed the layers together to present a new image with meaning. We also needed to convert the image into GIFs and play around with filters, dither, and colors. I chose to use fire as a symbol of the immense stress and anxiety that I get in my everyday life. It takes over me and rages inside me like an out of control fire. Below is the original image, 5 quality-different JPGs, and 4 GIFs. Remember, no matter how bad things get you will always rise from the ashes.

After looking at the uploaded black and white version of the photo in Illustrator I decided to go in a completely different direction and make a horror movie poster (given it was Halloween). Below is my original photo along with the finished poster. I hope you like it and Happy (very) late Halloween!

After learning how to use the text tool, the place tool, as well as reapplying the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator, we gained the knowledge needed in order to create our very own calligrams. First we wrote a letter to ourselves 20 years from now. Then using a self-portrait, we traced the outline of the picture to highlight the important features of our face and used the text tools we learned to implement words/sentences from the letter to create an image. The original letter, picture, and final calligram are below!
