I used Adobe Photoshop in order to create a minute long animation entirely created by me. Within the animation, I included multiple of my favorite quotes and things that speak to me as a person. Additionally, I created my own song in GarageBand to add to the video. 

  Using Photoshop, I created layers of myself with a variety of filters. The color palette includes orange, pink, and green colors to exhibit a neon/vibrant type of look. This image is also meant to represent OCD, this is shown with the soundwaves and abundance of layers and faces surrounding.  I have also included different formats that distort the image to explore the range of possibilities. 

  Using Photoshop, I created masks of myself in the same location, at the same time of day, to represent a group of girls. These stickers each represent a different type of girl, some getting ready, some doing homework, etc. The image also shows my true identity and the different versions of myself. There are also some self expressions depicted from my room. 

Using Photoshop, I placed myself into a still frame from one of my favorite movies The Truman Show. To do so, I put myself into an outfit that correlates with the rest of the costumes within the movie and pose to make it seem as though I am looking up the stairs that exit the simulation. I made sure to alter the brightness, blurriness, and grain in order to mesh well with the frame. Along with this, I used AI to generate a shadow, along with reflection. 

I used colors in Photoshop to alternate a black-and-white image into a colorful portrait. I chose three different color palettes: 1 triad, 1 analogous, and 1 complementary. I utilized the blob, lasso, and mask tools in order to do so. 

I used Adobe Illustrator to create a poster with a quote I love. Within this poster, I used a triad color palette to exhibit a range of colors that work well and look aesthetically pleasing together. Along with this, i tested out 2 other color palettes; monochromatic and analogous. I then experimented with a randomized palette in order to test different color combinations and formats.
