Scary Expressions



My first picture is my Zombie. When I look at this picture and as I was making it, it really reminded me of the movie "V for Vendetta". If you've never heard of it, lets just say it was kinda scary and the Zombies were everywhere trying to eat the people because the were exposed to some type of disease. I feel that is what I really look like. It's not to pretty. It also makes me think of the facial expression I have. Its almost a scared look, like I have no control of the urges to eat people and I want help. All in all, it's really creepy.

My next photo is my Ghost picture. Even though my picture doesn't really represent what I was thinking about it was cool. Doing this project made me think of a time, I swore I saw a ghost of my grandma at the foot of my bed when I was only about 10yrs old. It wasn't so much a scary experience but it was quite interesting and slightly soothing.

It also made me think of what could actually be in a grave yard and no one would probably notice, which is weird, and makes me never really want to go to a grave yard at night. Ha, I might get bit by my own Zombie.

My last, but definitely not the most boring photo is my scary face. This pic. made me think I had some type of flesh eating virus. Its gross. But I love my eyes, It makes me look possessed. It also makes me think I'm about to go and attack someone. Another thing it makes me think of is, how many extremely cool things you can do with photoshop.
I hope you like them, and think they're as creepy as 'i think they are.

The Scream: My interpretation

The man in this picture that is screaming, is screaming because he's scared. He does'nt know what is going on around him. The sky is burting into flames while the water is making, what it seems to be a world pool of ditruction. He's at the end of the bridge and has no where to go, so all that is left to do, is scream.

Creative Me


This project was an opportunity for us to put the tools we have learned to use. We were to take one of our portraits, and change it creatively using the following: selection tools, layers, adjustment layers, layer styles, blending options, paint brushes and opacity.
One major thing I like about this picture is how I was able to color all the words and the sky diffrently because it makes it pop out so much more. A tool that I really liked using was the Magic Wand, because it aloud me to select a big section of the picture, and color all one color with no problems. Such as the "Dial" in my pictue. It aloud me to color it all around its edges almost perfectly.
When using Photoshop, I would say I'm pretty confident with using it and showing how it works.
The picture I took origanily was in color and I loved how all the words popped out. As I started doing this project, I realized that I could do that and make it exactly how I wanted it.
