I used multiple different shape tools, the shape builder tool, and the selection tool(to resize the elements)
Layers Reflection:
1. Where are you in the image? Why did you choose to put yourself in that particular place or manner? I'm in the cockpit of the Oreca 07 LMP2 car in the center, I chose to put myself there because I wish to become a professional sportscar racing driver. I also put my name on the roof scoop around a similar place where the driver names of the car would be when it has a full livery and is being raced. 2. What “custom shape” did you use? Why did you select that shape? I used a giraffe because it is one of my favorite animals 3. On what layer(s) image(s) did you change the opacity? I slightly changed the opacity of the LMP2 car to make it blend a little better with the background and on the Steam logo to make it blend with the carbon fiber on the rear wing of the car better. 4. Where did you use the gradient tool? I used the gradient tool for the background then I used it again on a mask of that background to reveal the Ferrari GTE Pro cars at the bottom right. 5. What words did you include? How are they meaningful to you? I included a quote from one of my favorite video games on the rear dorsal fin of the LMP2 car. I just think it is a good quote that many people including myself could find inspirational. 6. What elements of art did you use? I used space, color, and form 7. Which principle of design did you use and how? I used variety and unity, there are a variety of images and they are unified into being like a livery for the LMP2 car. My idea was to make it like a race livery except with things that represent my interests instead of sponsors, I would have liked to color the car itself, but I couldn't figure how to do it in the way I wanted and removing the sponsors off of an existing car's livery would not have been working nondestructively. 8. In 2-3 paragraphs, explain how EACH of these images (#1-8) represents part of who you are. Please use complete sentences. All 8 images in my collage represent different interests of mine. The WEC and IMSA logos are there because they are my two favorite racing series to watch. I used an Oreca LMP2 to be able to have a space to put the quote onto the car itself rather than having it somewhere else outside of the car and because it goes well with my favorite racing series as it can race in both. I then covered the original #36 with a #51 because that is the number that my favorite Ferrari racecars always use and I tend to use that number as part of my username on my personal accounts oftentimes, the DHL branding was leftover from the original image and does not represent me in any way. The AF Corse run Ferrari 488 GTE Evo cars that are blended into the background are there because the 488 GTE Evo is my favorite racecar overall as of now, the car single handedly got me into racing and made me a lifelong Ferrari fan after it won the first race I ever watched, the 2019 24h of Le Mans against one of the most competitive GTE Pro fields ever. The remaining images primarily represent my interests in gaming and technology. I placed a Nintendo Switch logo near the center because I have always had Nintendo systems since I was very young and the Switch is my favorite console from them so far. Steam is my other favorite platform that I've enjoyed playing games on as of late, so I placed the logo for it onto the side of the rear wing as I found that that was the perfect place for it. The Windows 11 logo(with the 11 hidden using a layer mask) is there to further represent my PC gaming interests, it also represents my technology interests as my preferred PC operating system. Lastly, a golden mask from Persona 5 Royal(P5R) is front and center to represent Persona which quickly became my favorite game series after I played Persona 4 Golden(where the quote is from) last year. The Persona series has already had a big personal impact on me overall in a every short period of time and I'm looking forward to finally playing P5R later this year when it comes to all modern platforms including Switch and PC/Steam(that is why the Switch and Windows logos are placed close to it). |
