  Somewhere      This is my somewhere project. For this project, we used photoshop to insert ourselves into a random photo that we weren't originally in. In order to do this I thought to myself and I figured that I had a few high quality lacrosse photos from my senior year. Considering this, I thought it would be cool to insert myself into a team USA team picture. I couldn't find a team picture that was high quality enough to put myself into so I went onto their Instagram and found a poster from there. Overall, I really like how my project came out. The Original Photo:

For each color scheme I wanted to include a reasonable color for my skin. I also realize after the project that due to my dress being a dark color, most of the new colors turned out a different shade and didn't turn out as well. For the future, I would re-color a picture that had lighter clothing to make it pop more.

Also, I think it would be hard to get the lighting right. https://www.instagram.com/averagerob/ ;  find 1 image that inspired you or gave you an idea for the "Somewhere" project - An image that gave me an idea for the "Somewhere" project was this one because I think generally it would be cool to say "look I have this really cool picture of a celebrity and I" and it turns out it's just a random image of you a photoshopped next to a celebrity doing something weird.   https://www.boredpanda.com/funny-photoshop-troll-james-fridman/   find 1 set of images that made you laugh. -This image made me laugh because there is literally nothing wrong

Tag Brush     This is my tag brush. I really enjoyed this project, considering I got to use my personal logo to create a personal tag. I really liked how this turned out, it kind of reminds me of a stamp but like in spray paint form. I chose pink for the color because I wanted it to be more empowering towards me and to me as a strong woman. 

  Introduction to Adobe Photoshop  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDhv1o7cA_I      When I was browsing on the internet for an intro to photoshop video I really wanted something that was simple and would just give me a brief idea of what Im going to be getting myself into for the next week or so. I thought this video specifically did a great job of that. They talk about the main features of photoshop and what its most common applications are. I didn't realize that you could make animated gifs on photoshop so that was a really interesting feature that they talked about. I am most excited to be able to try out the digital painting feature as well. https://youtu.be/3gxcIn8L__w      For this next video, I still wanted something that would touch the basics for photoshop but also get into the specifics of the small details that play apart of the entire piece of artwork itself. So I found this video called "layers for beginners". It basically touches up on tools like the move
