Avatars

This is an avatar of Emma Watson and I think it's pretty decent. I was having a fair amount of trouble with the eyes, so I decided to leave them as they were (I still made them bigger, just not the color of Na'vi). Anyway, so, other than turning her blue and making the eyes bigger, I used zebra stripes for her, well, stripes. 

So, yeah, this is the "avatar" of me. I'm not even that into wolves (I like them, but I wouldn't relate myself to them), but I decided to do something with wolf fur. I think it looks kind of creepy and the ear was being frustrating, but I do like how I managed to get the fur lined up.

This project took me a little while to figure out, but I'm happy with what I finally settled on. I chose my favorite pieces of art to put on the branch, and I considered putting one on every one, but I figured that would be too much. As for the information, I put Sherlock Holmes' address and the phone number spells "sherlock". 

Social Injustice: 6 Images

1. I did the "one person can make a difference" and this is probably my favorite off all of them. I like Greek mythology, so I decided to do something with Atlas (the guy who had to hold up the sky/earth). I took 2 different pictures of Atlas (I liked the person in one and the globe in another), and merged them. Then, I got a picture of the surface of the moon and put Atlas + Earth on it. The positioning of the Earth is actually where the original one was in the picture, so I thought that was cool. Anyway, after that I messed around with hue, tints, etc. and finally, I added a starry sky in the background. 

2. This one is the "one million lives" theme. I chose a massive flock of flamingos for the "1 million" effect and I filled in the raised hands with more flying birds, so they are somewhat relevant to each other (I suppose the flying birds could also represent freedom?). Anyway, it was pretty simple and I'm happy with it, although I feel like the hands are kind of hard to distinguish.

3. This one is basically a "I am my brother's keeper" kind of theme (we should all take care and are responsible for/of one another, etc.). I thought this theme fit in fairly well with the movie. For the picture, I found an image of a dog nursing different tiger cubs, which was perfect, but they were on a ceramic floor. So, I put them in the desert. 

4. This one is the "Racism" suggestion. I feel like this is somewhat self-explanatory: people of the same race getting along, but fighting with different ones. The hands in the middle are arm wrestling... I keep thinking it looks like their high-fiving intensely. 

5. I did this for "First World vs. Third World". The single chess piece in the back being the third world and the other pieces in the front being the first world. I just found this picture and I messed around with the normal things like contrast, saturation, etc. I think I inverted this picture, but I'm not sure. 

6. This is the "UN" one. I can't say this is very creative, it was the first one I did, so I was a little unsure of what really to do. I do like it though! I think it's kind of... sweet? I'm not sure. Anyway, I did add the UN logo in the corner, and of course, messed around with contrast, saturation, etc.
