10 Concept Ideas

My favorite image- photoshopped!






I used a lot of image adjustments- such as contrast, brightness, saturation, and curves. I added this underwater photo filter and diffused it to add a glow. I decided to duplicate and transform the hand while rotating it- perhaps the two hands want to hold each other or are giving a high five. I added the text 'Paris Je T'aime' because I thought it went along with the romantic theme of the picture.

I love photography- although I have only taken it for a short while in high school, I am very inspired by pictures that are adventurous, romantic, nostalgic, mysterious, and creative- things which all make me happy.


I like these photos because I can see myself there- I hope to travel and have unending adventures like these pictures portray- they help inspire and motivate me for the future that I want to live where I surrounded by those kinds of fun experiences. These photos evoke a happy, sentimental feeling every time I look at them. I'm a romantic, so I enjoy romantic themes. Spontaneous images that capture emotional moments are inspiring as well.




The cinematography of movies inspire me as well-I'm a cinephile. I particularly like the surrealist style and dreamlike structure used by David Lynch, the dollhouse aesthetic employed by Wes Anderson, and Stanley Kubrick's hypnotic symmetric genius. Each of these directors have a strong sense of style and color, which I admire.










I love the iconic work of Barbara Kruger. By juxtaposing a picture with text, she creates a whole new meaning containing criticism of materialism, sexism, and power. I like images that challenges beliefs and makes us think in a different perspective. I love controversy!












Photography/Cinematography is very important to me- I post images and quotes that inspire me daily in my blog on Tumblr.

About Me!

Hello! 



I am an Arts Management and Film major. I am taking this course for the required advertising certificate and also because I think it is important to learn. I took photography in high school and throughly enjoyed it- we learned some basic photoshop skills. All I can remember is layering and the 'magnetic lasso.' So, my current knowledge of Photoshop on a scale of 1-10 is perhaps a 2. By the end of this class, I hope to learn how to use Photoshop efficiently because I think it will be very useful in my future career paths and internships. Right now I am interning at Circle Cinema, so I think taking photoshop concurrently will help me with my job of making/distributing flyers and working the Wordpress of their website. One goal I have for this class is to artistically be able to blend images and create interesting designs. I own a MacBook Pro and love to use FinalCut Pro, and hopefully I will like Photoshop as well. I am inspired by all kinds of photography and images- I think there's beauty in everything and I get a lot of inspiration from my blog on Tumblr.

I look forward to taking this class! :)
