Project 2
MR MARTIN
photo manipulation
Proposal
Idea rationale
I based my idea upon my own personal problem , which is something like i have a squint (lazy eye) in my left eye since birth which like made my eye sight all round very weak like -9 number both eyes and because its a physical problem it can be fixed by laser treatment and stuff, so technically without my glasses im pretty much blind AND the problems which come with that are a lot , if i lose or break my glasses anywhere BLIND , if i wanna play sports yeah can’t because my lenses are pretty thick and those sport glasses come pretty expensive so yeah i have a fair bit of drawback besides that eye strain and stuff come naturally , so i opted the idea of CYBORG EYES which in a way are comparatively better even in expense they can be a one time expense and also allow me to well solve all problems i have with the weak eyes glasses thing
Sketches 1
My sketches are pretty funny so ill explain
This sketch i wanted to get rule of thirds shot With me being the subject holding my glasses off And i wanted to show the depth background to be clear to show that clarity without my glasses Also add a smile on my face to show i'm not worried about the glasses and im happy without them
Shots
Sketch 2
For my sketch i wanted to a similar shot rule of thirds with depth and leading it just felt right to emphasize on the story telling In this one i wanted to show myself in the fore ground throwing my glasses away With the same clear background and smile to get the story through
Shots
Sketch 3
Sketch 3 i liked most out the other two Mainly because of the emphasis on the story telling Its a same depth with me in the fore ground shot with rule of thirds In this i'm standing on my glasses like they're broken and looking outwards like i don't care and i can see totally fine
Shots
New shots
They all were taken for the same concept and story only i used a different shot
Week 9-10
After finalizing my shots , i started working on the editing
i chose these two shots to edit , because of the alignments and reflection of ideas
shot 1
process 1
so my start process for the first shot was using pentool to mask out all the skin into a new layer
on top of that i applied surface blur to make the skin look smoother , and a certain level of emboss just to give it that extra 3d design feel
Process 2
For process 2 i actually added the glasses from the other shot because it was the angle i wanted and i wanted to give it that flying effect
Besides that i added drop shadow and emboss on the flying glasses
Along with the addition of the glasses , i also made the circuit board type lines with my pentool and then stroke path it to mask it out so i can add robotic elements behind it later
Process 3
This process is where i masked out my eyes so i can replace them with cyborg eyes , i constructed the eyes myself using these pictures
After having a satisfactory eye i just out them behind the skin overlay layer , and i got the eyes
which gave me this outcome
Shot 2
process 1
process for this shot was using pentool to mask out all the skin into a new layer
similarly as before on top of that i applied surface blur to make the skin look smoother , and a certain level of emboss just to give it that extra 3d design feel
Process 2
In this stage i fixed the image a little bit i removed the fallen gasses on the floor and blended the floor there , after which i moved the glasses in a throwing pattern
process 3
Process three i just used repeated the same process of masking , stroke path etc and the eyes
Added some adjustment layers and got the outcome
Adjustment and improvement
After thinking a little i couldn't wrap my head around the upper edits so i did another , again same process
The outcome was
Final outcome and submission
MR FAUZI
Self title
we were told to make a composition that describes ourselves using graphical elements and composition rules we have learned earlier
Process 1/ composition 1
For my self title i used the concept of music again because i think that's my self title
so for my first composition i looked on the internet for some idea i could come up with and i got this idea
i started off this composition with a simple picture of myself
and using pen tool i masked it out and transferred it to this background
i did resize the back ground a little bit to get the darker side of the sky
Process 2
After i was done transferring the two things i added a png music circular pattern that i found and used multiply mode on myself and the pattern to give it a transparent effect
in the end i used a clear soft edge brush to blend everything in giving the composition

process 2/ composition 2
For my second composition
i started of by using a different picture i shot which was
After which i used pen tool to cut myself out and delete the background
process 2
after transferring my cut to a white new paper i found a picture and did the same pentool cut with it
i cut out and combined the two images to produce this design
Process 3
After getting the design done , i combined them all in one frame and , used overlay and multiply modes to give a see through effect
i did two variations of the design
- Hard mix
- darken
These were two outcomes
i ended up choosing the hard mix as it's more blended and looks very grunge , the elements all work together pretty well.
Final outcome and submission
