The Impact of Photoshop

Being a self taught photographer, photoshop was very difficult for me to catch on to and understand. This is one of my first images I had ever attempted to create on photoshop and it is rough around the edges but I am also proud to see the progress that I have made and am excited to see the progress I continue to make. I think that photoshop affect society in many different ways being positive and negative. Celebrities use photoshop to portray an image and lifestyle that is almost impossible for everyday people to accomplish. Girls in today's society and really people in general try to make themselves look like something they are not because society portrays this image. However, for photography use and creativity, photoshop provides an amazing platform for people to create an image to enjoy for them selves or for others. I love the creative freedom that photoshop gives its users.

Blog 2- Dreams

The picture posted is a picture that I had drew up and then edited on a computer to represent what I initially think of when I think of dreams. Something that can be all over the place and make no sense at all.
Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep. Most of the time we have no idea why we dream what we dream or what they even mean because they can be all over the place without and sequence or story line. I believe that sometimes dreams are our subconscious minds revealing things to us. I definitely believe that our dreams can sometimes be a coincidence. Also believe that when someone has deja vu, that it is a flashback memory from a previous dream.

Blog 1 - Hire an Illustrator.

Wadim Petunin- An illustrator and designer based out of Germany. Has done work for Lane Crawford, Fifth Black Media, Cacao Magazine and many more. His work resembles a minimalistic approach to a theme, breaking down the visuals to the core while mixing various techniques. I had a hard time picking an artist that I liked most because I loved so many of them. Petunin stuck out to me most because his work to me told a story just through a simple image. The piece I picked, I picked because it made me think out how we just step on and walk all over people, even when we do not realize that we are doing so. In a lot of his work he portrays the advantages we take of people and miss treat these people as well. To me his work speaks to me because to me the world needs a more visual representation as to how we can treat others and hopefully make them more aware.
