Photoshop #1

 

Photoshop from BW to Analogous 


Using a casual picture from work seemed like a simple image to work with. This project was more straightforward than with previous programs and quite fun after figuring out Photoshop. 

This is the original selfie I started working from. I wanted to just work on my main features. Focusing on face, hair, shirt, and jacket.

Turning the image to grayscale was the first step before choosing my colors on Adobe Colors.

This was my favorite to work with. I used the Swatches tool to save all the colors to make them easier to work with. Monochromatic had all my favorite shades of purple and I wanted to maintain a primary solid color for the background. 



Analogous was not my favorite, it had my favorite type of colors which were pastels. I had a hard time trying to mix the colors and make them look good. Compared to the other ones, I loved the color purple and didn't want to keep making it purple in this one.  



Finally, with the Triad, the colors were very shocking but reminded me of Scooby Doo. It had quite crazy colors but overall it was much cleaner than the Analogous palette.

Before the internet, computers had been around since the mid-1950s. During those times, there was limited communication with the few computers that existed around the world. Computers could only interact with other devices if they were nearby, meaning that there had to be a physical connection between them to communicate. J.C. R. Licklider was the one to propose a network with no physical bounds that could go beyond the local devices [1]. After his proposal, the government and MIT began the first developments of packet switches that helped develop networks that contributed to what we call the Internet. Packet-switching was a way for people to break down information data into packets that could then be redistributed across many networks. These networks included: ARPANET, NPL, and UUCP, all played a significant part in the merging of networks to create a global Transmission Control Program (TCP) also known as internetworking or, in modern terms, the internet.  Many were involved in the e

My business cards were inspired by cards I'd happily give to people I meet by chance in the street. It touches on a lot of my personality, especially the Monet one.

  Hi... My name is Jennifer. If I gave you my full government name then nobody would know how to pronounce it. I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico. A very small island that is part of the Caribbean archipelago and has approximately 5 million citizens currently. At the moment, I am a senior Public Relations major at UT [just transferred] and hopefully, a future Master's degree here as well.  I came here from a small religious liberal arts college about 20 mins from UT, whose values and morals didn't align with mine. Apart from my transferring journey, I am a violinist, an activist, and a compulsive spender. Small details about me: I used to do sailboating, I love iced coffee, and I am half Puerto Rican and half Cuban.  I hope to learn different media tools for creating my own content. I believe using these types of programs shows a multiskill when entering the workforce, which in turn shows a company you're not a one-trick pony. It also opens up the possibility of working freela
