For this project, our class was instructed to form three different types of business cards.  For this being the first time using the Adobe Indesign Application, I found it pretty difficult to navigate around the different tools to find a final result.  I decided to incorporate my logo from a previous project on all different versions of my business cards.  From looking at the first draft I made when developing sketches for this project, I feel that I improved over time and work ethic to complete a much better final outcome.  Overall, I thought this project was interesting and informative as well as considering business cards are extremely important to have in your future career.  I will definitely use this application as well as this project as a reference down the line of my work path.   

I chose to insert myself into my favorite photo of the Sopranos cast. When researching for this project, I looked through my favorite movies and TV series and the Sopranos was an easy pick for me. I dressed in similar clothing to what they were wearing in the photo to make it look as realistic as possible. When adding myself to the image, after I masked myself out, and created a few adjustment layers to make my coloring as similar to the original photo as possible. Some adjustments that I made were hue and saturation, channel mixer, and brightness and contrast. I erased some of my clothing to make it look as if I was behind the character next to me, and made the bottom of my photo blurred out into the black that is shown underneath all the characters. I found this project to be both challenging and interesting, but I enjoyed being as creative as I could. Since this photo was taken using a different camera, I changed the coloring of the original image a little to match the pho...

For this project, I included a picture of myself, a picture of a candle burning in the shape of a head, and an image of the solar system. I chose to use hue and saturation, color balance, and black and white transition layers when coloring my piece the way it is. My choice of images was specifically used to create an illusion of myself in outer space. While working on this piece on April 7th, it also happened to be the same day as the "supermoon". Astronomy has always been an interesting subject for me to learn about, so I felt with the supermoon being present, and it also is a big passion of mine, that the background of the solar system fits perfectly for this project. When choosing a second image to overlay, I chose an image of a burning candle. With everything going on right now, the coronavirus is taking over our every day lives. As hard as it is, eventually the light (coronavirus) will burn out and we will return to our normal days. The image of the candle burn...
