This week I tried to Use Photoshop elements to create drawings so I could make the pictures and the gifs at the same time, but it didn’t work out too well, So I will be back to SketchBook. But I am happy I tried this out because I will continue to find a way to make it work for me in the future.

First gif for the online comic I am doing for my final project.

I still need to tweek some things

1- I don’t think what you said was funny but I don’t wanna be confrontational.

2 - I’m looking at my phone to avoid talking to people, but I’m not really looking at anything.

3 - Actually diverse happy face with genuine Duchenne smile.

4 - When you are trying to figure out if someone is lying to you.

5 - When you’re noble simplicity, but also quiet grandeur.

6 - When you want to watch Harry Potter but you realize fantasy is just a quick and meaningless escape from responsibility and an instance of fleeting happiness in the world.

7 - When you have to boil water 3 times before you drink it.

8 - When you have a wall up because you’re scared of rejection.

Critique of Internet Culture

Inspired by the emoji tracker, i decide to create my own series of emojis. After doing research on the available emojis presented I realized there are many with very specific titles or scenarios they are presenting.

Increasingly there is more specialization and reliability on the internet. Many memes are based on expressions such as “that moment when...” or “when..” recounting incidences that are supposed to make you laugh, or have a flashback or relate in some way.

Therefore in my series of emojis I chose instances which increase in specialization to truly see where the boundary of absurdity and realism lies in reliability. Also the idea of boiling down large philosophical concepts or complex emotions into easily sendable semiotics is another theme I choose to explore. How much information, thought, or experience can you condense before it is lost or loses reliability and digestibility.

These photos show my process from downloading the photo from an open source site to the end where I am a part of this photo, thus creating a new moment.

I used Photoshop Elements 6 (for the first time) so please excuse some of the less than perfect “photoshopping.”

Appropriation:

My theme deals with the concept of the massive amounts of photos that are taken at any given moment everyday which we are unaware of. This brings up the idea of appearing in others peoples lives and moments while being unaware. On the internet there are probably hundreds of images which you are a part of in one way or another that are candid and you will never know or never find them again.

This also deals with the theme of memory and implanting yourself into someone else memory through visual means. People tend to remember the past through photos, so if you implant yourself into a photo does it also simultaneously implant you into a space, time, or memory?

The last picture also deals with photobombing accidentally, you ruin a photo, without consciousness of it and you become a part of someone else life, vacation, and memories.

a gif i found online, very great use of multi media

In this video i typed my name and as you can see, the visuals are much more varied, but the sound was not as cohesive, i also realized the space bar changes the background color and at the end i wrote the phrase “this is my name.”
