I added mostly photo manipulations to this project. I find that most of them are only mildly altered, but these alterations change the mood of these pictures or the focal points that catch the eye can be greatly affected. I have always found this subtle influence very interesting, although until now I have not questioned myself as to why I do. I first developed this interest after watching the movie Sin City, which used an all black and white theme, with only certain focal points being displayed in color, I found this fascinating, as it immediately drew the audience’s eye to where ever the director wanted. I then started using a basic version of paint shop when mimicking this effect, but quickly learned more about digital art (or at least I like to think so).

a photo manipulation I made of the Iwo Jima flag raising

A photo manipulation I made of a venom picture I found a long time ago. I made this simply because I was bored, but I think I ended up with something very eye catching, as everything is blurred and out of focus except for Venom himself

a photo manipulation of a person playing electric guitar

I did not make this image, but I find it extremel eye catching, it turns the guitar into less of an object and more into an element of design in my opinion

- I like this picture I made because it is very simple, not a lot going on, but it still looks very beautiful to me

The Wacthmen symbol, it just seems very catchy, it uses a really happy symbol to display something dark and evil

snapshot NYC
Figured I’d add something to the Eportfolio. This was the picture I used for snapshot NYC, it’s the outside gym wall to my old middle school.
