I fARTed

Making sure that you fART a bunch of colors and create a world of enigmatic, ecstatic,charismatic fARTwork, and keep on chasing the things that are not there, which are actually there. If you cannot see them, there are not there for you, you cannot see, you cannot create what is beyond your eyes. Beyond your eyes, beyond the world underneath your soul, there is a world,that has an exclusive, not elusive gate open four you, with the only key that is available and that is you. When you close your eyes and open your mind and heart, your realm of your fARTworld will open, and you will let go of all your emotions and pour them like a river from an ocean into your fARTwork. Just let go, and go and go and go crazy. Streams have their own rules and the flow of the direction is under your control. Let go and do a lot of fARTing.

Duty

What is duty? It is what is expected and what is required from you to do- it is a commitment of yours to accomplish the tasks at hand and ahead of you. But going above and beyond the call of duty? What is that? It is, when you have achieved the required standards and fulfilled all of your obligations, yet you are not satisfied with the results enough, and feel it is quite basic- at least in your mind- even if it is a duty that is exquisite- you go and polish your tasks and add extra skills just to refine and attempt to make the entire task shine like a supernova in the universe- where yet the star that takes off into an explosion, never dies. It is your responsibility as a person, to challenge yourself, after you have been charged with a duty, to do the best you can as better as you can, and be surprised, when you see and are amazed, that you were actually capable of achieving your goal- like it never happened. Settling for less is like aiming for failure, the one thing that is not good to achieve. Failures are good lessons, but they are only needed, when something is beyond one's control to create as a designer and help has gone into the black whole.... Ha ha ha ha haaa! Meow ! I forgot to get the turkey burger out of my car and now I know, what the smell was, when I bought it about two weeks ago. It fell behind my tool box, and disappeared. I will air it out all night...

UPDATE

K, this is the final update for this quarter or whenever, for all the missing pics and blogging updates. The computer in school never allows me to put up the pics, so now have figured a lil' bit out to post the pics.... I am not happy, if something is missing, it feels like something is stuck in my brain- like the crackhead landlord I knew in 1997, who had food stuck between his teeth and it was just as horrible of a feeling to hear him picking his teeth, as it feels the same, when something is undone. Education costs time and money, and why not invest into it and do the work? Well, nothing is perfect but trying to get it done just feels like being drunk and full with cheese inside somehow. So here are the updates, not sure if that would help my grades or not, but doing it anyway, cause it is just simply the right thing to do.... Well, thanks to everyone, who worked together in this class and all other classes and shared thoughts, ideas, inspirations the meh up and downs of things. Plus the retarded computer crashings, that made life living hell at least for me, but never allowed me to excuse myself from being late from my assignments and there will be more crashes of course.... Only got behind once, due to DC, but was on time with that ! Beast it out kittens ! Meow... That's my boy !

So that is all for the update, phew ! I love you Arslan Boy !

Cards ...

Dang, I forgot to take off the text. But then again, it brought out the grunge. The background of the wall are photos of metal. Automotive parts of military vehicles that are layered. I took photos years ago and then merged them together. The radiator is part of the texture, especially for the card background. The text though, is always optional, and I removed it on some of them. It is past midnight now, been busy finishing all of this off earlier today, cleaning the house and blogging now. I gotta get the other pics into the blog later on, if the school computer still will not allow me to upload them, then I do it at home, they all need an update, the missing picture blog ones. I used one of the pics to put the trucks on. A lot of grunge, I figured to put some military stuff, I felt like, the boy in me had to come out and the Army queen and play with art this way. A wall is a protection, a destruction, an imprisonment or anything else. I added some gauges, showing running on maybe E- not sure, and made it look all M-(military) style. I added some of the 50 caliber rounds one former soldier was holding in his hand and grunged him out too- for the destructive wall. The other wall, the reinforcement wall, I thought it was pretty cool to ad some barb wire with animal sculls to it, and I used colors that compliment the background. I think it just feels like on the go, the pics, the one the go, when one goes like the closest way to explain is- mudding and paint balling to compare it to a military style of short term deployment.... Well, hope that others like it, the guys I mean. Felt girly with the Art Deco stuff, and not with this card stuff. Somehow, I do not play cards- it made me remember the days, the guys played cards at night, and the back pattern was the ACU ( Army Combat Uniform Pattern ), and that was one of the big reasons, that this came about too. Meow !

The Art Deco Theme. It is believed, that the Art Deco was born during the 20th century during the "Grunderzeit", the industrialization era around WWI also I think, in France. The references were used by former artists of the renaissance era, shapes were primarily geometrical in shape, and the colors specific as such of those used in tiffany lamp themes. It was reflected also style-wise on the Empire State Building. I really did not know what to do first, I thought a car or something, but somehow, it came to me easily. Well, time is short and of the essence, and while taking four classes, it is near and dear to me to accomplish all of it and never try to be late. So far, lateness is not something I do, unless something came in between. Missing three days in one quarter is still more than enough for me... Well, it has been almost nine years, since I was in Paris- and I forgot my French language and grammar, so it might be La or Le Reve, not sure if the word is male or female, it seems to be masculine, but it also sounds feminine to my ear. I will ask someone, who is better at this some day. But for now, I wrote in French, because it is the least believed, that Art Deco is from France and I wanted to keep it at their home style and language of origin- at least for this one. I really feel like, I have a thing for this, this is really one of my favorite assignments. Yeah, I gotta tweak the edges, but too late now, plus I spent five days on making the children's book, including computer crashings etc. and it consumed most of my time, 56 pages is more than I supposed to do, I know.... Well, going back to this, I decided to take a portrait of myself, make it a clipping mask out of it, and then turn around and reshape the figure, face, hair, drew a tiara, silhouette. The idea behind all of this was, a memory of the past, where we did silhouettes in 2nd grade- so the silhouette idea came back to me with that memory- and it was a style that was also used for Art Deco. And the windows represent symmetrical shapes. The beams were layers of several gradients, made of shapes. I used paulistano Deco for the font, one art deco font version. The theme with the word were to match with the contrast of the shadow style silhouette, the beams- The dream of lights.... So that is all, love that Art Deco Stuff.

Well, today the sky is inverted in my brain

hAVING TROUBLE TO UPLOAD ANYTHING ON THIS COMPUTER FOR MY REFLECTIVE WRITING. I was struggling with the Interactive PDF, not feeling well. It sucks right now either way. Hope to fix it later, but right now, gotta go and make life worth living again. Yazzy

Here is an update for the final part and a picture of the interactive PDF that I resubmitted again into the M-Drive.... I just thought of something fun to do and Unicorn was my theme this quarter for fun, inspired by Rosa and Holly's way of art. Some creatures are cute, but in my mind, I take it to a different level, not sure why, but it makes it just funny....

Oh shrap, I got !

Here is the folio for the SLAM Magazine....

Slatty Pets

Did the slats and called it Slatty Pets, maybe should have called it slotted pets- not sure. I really wanted to do something like a flower, but things did not work out. So I got really pissed off and did cat, mouse and bunny.... I put the English version of the German Gummy bear song, but not the repeating catchy part, so no one will be thinking about the chorus all the time, due the catchy ways of it. Here is the link, but the computer is acting up and a pic may not show, due to that reason. I really wanted to do some camera angles in After Effects, but time was running out and I sometimes take to defeat on achieving more than I can and leave it at that to keep a fair balance on all assignments. Some then shine more than others in alternating patterns, week by week. My eyes are burning by now, and need a break like a 12 hour nap. Soon, after Wednesday, it will be nap time. During school, sleep is not a necessity at times, when work needs to get done. It is though later on, like a post- sugar-candy crash at a daycare.... Who is the kid now, not sure. I say, it takes a childhood to become an adult and a lifetime, to try to be a kid agai... Meow! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyiv8XPMUvQ

Somehow, why is it troubled, I guess...

The Spud Goodman Radio Show Is an intimate hour with Spud Goodman, his co-host Chick Hunter and an army of extended family members. The show originates from NWCZ in the Seattle/Tacoma market and is currently broadcast Thursday nights at 7:00 pm. Our show does present celebrity guests and live musical performances as do most radio entertainment programs but we do so from a clearly different angle. Our host Spud Goodman has an innate ability to broach topics with guests that quite often take them into territory they had not visited previously on the air. The show was described by one reviewer as “A not so rural, contemporary homage to A Prairie Home Companion. Currently the show is also carried on 2 stations in Texas and 1 in Florida as we are now concentrating our efforts at expanding our exposure around the country. Our guests are all national personalities and a review of the demo reel link included below will verify that we are able to attract the top talent in the entertainment industry today. We are able to do so in large part due to relationships built in our previous incarnation, a nationally syndicated comedy talk show carried on the FOX NET cable television division. The show’s celebrity guests were reflective of its reach and status as some of those who have appeared on Spud’s show include Samuel L. Jackson, Donald Trump, Michael Moore, Drew Carey, BB King, Jon Stewart, Bill O’Reilly, Tracy Ullman and the list goes on. The musical guests were as eclectic and varied as They Might Be Giants, Richard Thompson, Rosanne Cash, Jeff Tweedy, Graham Parker and a long list of others. Recent guests on the radio show have included Kevin Nealon, Lisa Lampenelli, George Lopez, Colin Quinn, David Koechner, Jim Jefferies, Adam Corolla, Steve-O, Reggie Watts, Caroline Rhea, the late Dave Brockie (aka Oderous Urungus) from GWAR, US Congressman Jim McDermott, Richard Lewis and many others. The Spud Goodman Audio Demo Reel Please direct all inquiries to Lori Madson Executive Producer (206) 240-7235 lorimadson@spudgoodman.com www.spudgoodman.com This was the original goal, but then again, time is short with a lot of work to do with four classes and you do the best you can with what you have rather than to have nothing. Took an ashload of screenshots, and it is not working. So in compensation of the missing one, this is the best that there is for now or forever. This was my first version, before I worked on the other version. Well, it will work out somehow, I guess and I know the thing was acting up, when I put six ffffff;s for white font and it turned out black but the thing was messed up that day with many in the class, yep. Well, Martin fixed it, the grading, yay !

Barely swimming without water

Dreamweaver, still weaving my nightmares... 

I will get the hang of it, meanwhile it is hanging me though on multiple silk strings. I am swimming and drowning without water in Dreamweaver. I will get into this class and hopefully learn it and like it then, it is to me quite genius to understand the mystery behind all the coded languages, but meanwhile, it drives me nuts, losing all the lugs on the sides of my rims on my mental tire. I will try to get that other assignment in tomorrow, if I can get some help, I sat there for five hours, and it was like I get it, and then it just went downhill.

Anyway, did the wordpress thingy, assy 13, to the best way it dawned on my off and on computer literacy. I gotta say, I went from a sad world of power point though, to a OOOOH Shiny world of a bunch of Adobe stuff and once you go that way, who wants to go back ????

I added photos, changed the background, layout and  added text. Two hours and some change later, it looks like it is done-ish. ISh means, that I could like it better, but it is to evolve from here. I am glad, I did not call the wordpress site I have holydragonfart, that was my first plan.

 Ok, that is all for the simplified technical part plus the link is below.... :

https://yazzydesigns.wordpress.com/

UPDATE for photo/ screenshot of my site. I still like my site. It is plain and has less color. Just the shade of black. Otherwise, color goes everywhere else !

Two in One but kinda left behind the tiny dots...

Well, meow there !

Went to freaking ice cold D.C. and visited three states in one day back and forth to get stuff done. After all, felt like beasting it out like the Medusa.... And being exhausted, just kept on going until my mind could not carry my body for any longer and had to nap. It was cram time. Thank goodness, that the boss saved the time to get things lined up....

So did the two slam magazine  thingies.... Unfortunately, the pics I took, went all sour. But one stood out, with no potential of a clear cut photo- just really blurry. What to do ? How can one salvage garbage ? Sometimes there is treasure in trash !

So did the second version of the slam magazine, and it is the boy with the long hair, Chris- at the Student Life. He has such georgeous hair, he will make any woman jealous ( or man )....

I decided to use Lightwave for text, not happy about the bottom part- but after about eight hours of dedication, the dedication wore off for the night and ended up just leaving it, too tired to go on after being in the same room from 7:40 ish a.m. til 9:30 ish p.m... The marathon is over for the day!

Anyway, after rendering the pics from Lightwave in different textures and putting it into a png format- Photoshop covered the rest. I made several copies of the same edge glow photo, and dragged,rotated,warped, stretched it, etc and then added a few flame brushes to it. The folio for this one is the two brush swoosheeezzz....

I was too tired to focus harder on the folio and would redo it later, if so... I wanted to do something better, but just the time it took to do all of this was spent with all energy on the beefy part, not the side dish....

The first version is a " Tree Woman" something I had in mind since 1994. I had an old painting I winged half of a lifetime ago, and I decided to stick with my first thought. That thought was, that some day I would redo this picture. I did not know then, what Photoshop was, and did not know, that I would redo it in Photoshop.... So I used it as a base for my main idea, added pieces of photos from landscapes that I had taken in the past and then used some special brushed for rock texture etc. But all I do, I create all of my stuff myself, almost all of it.  I do not like using stuff from the internet, and make it mine, unless there is time constraint, or lack of local resources. It is nice to use your own work... And when all fails, then the internet of course is the best option. But to have things, that are original and created like the food at the dinner table and not a drive through style art job- it just feels more rewarding and genuine in character, well at least to me. The thing is of course, that all of this is really much more harder to do,because of a huge investment in time.Anyway, the first version is mixed media, between painting, photography and digital painting.

So going back to the last one version- I did use the images for some of the past SLAM magazines to create a clipping mask for the word itself SLAM. Kinda to honor the past SLAMMER's .... 

Using the eraser brush helped to blend it along with the Clone Stamp tool- to merge partial images together...

Well that is all for now...

Here is the first and the second version.

 

The one color shape thingy...

Ok, when I saw this lesson, all I could see was colors and shapes. I ended up using at least 16 shapes to create the version of Kaleidoscope, plus the bloat thingy, the wiggle thingy and something else, I don't recall right now. I used something like color dodge/different colors to change it and size it up and down, spin the shapes clockwise, counterclockwise etc. I was already thinking of creating a Kaleidoscope type, I had fun and just kept on playing.  If it is not weird or crazy, then something is wrong... But what is weird, is it really something that can be comprehended  unless it is a group that is alike ...
This one was fun to do. I kinda like chaos and most of my stuff will be organized chaos... Here is the link:

Nightmare Dreamweaver

Who called it Dreamweaver ? It is not weaving dreams for me, a novice, but more spinning a web of OMG, I need to get this language down. Getting down a little, like raindrops.  But well, again, with tutor support, all it is predicted as a good fortune in the stars- " literally".  On the other hand, I made the risky choice to assume four classes and took a harder class. Talk about a self-challenge. Meh, meow... Anyway .... So I decided to make my webpage one of those " I want all of your money, and I will tell how screwed  up your future is later"....

Just kidding. I created a sphere in Photoshop, found a royalty-free background and added the rest of the graphics in there- using Opacity and a humorous type of font to make it look really like one of those "Miss Cleo" Fortune Teller Astrology Front Web Pages. I also ended up posterizing the celestial horizon. The best thing to do is, when there is always an unpredictable future- to make things ahead for time, just in case something will not work out, there will be extra time to work on assignments, especially when life and glitches happen.  That way fortune telling will be a fairy tale....
Finally, I got to upload the pic- it would not work on the school computer, grrrr....

Fire Tari

 Took a photo of a young girl as a base for a portrait inspiration, who works at the Computer Library. She modeled for a picture.

I wanted to paint Nefertari ( Queen Nefretiti), but I changed my mind and made it look a little cosmic. So adding some flames and used the same color scheme throughout the entire picture. Subtle opacity, different subtle shades of color completed the Digital Picture. Four hours later, I am still getting used to learning the digital pen- this was the answer. I added more volume to the lips and naturally things are not meant to be a 100% even.

Thematic Text

Well, had to decide on a word. I was  thinking about my favorite things, and Cat was one of them. I started to  create some stuff, but then by the time I got to 302, I changed my mind. All I thought was, that they crap all day. So I almost decided on the words " Oh Shit". Then I told myself, that is enough, I already created an apartment ad called Ghetto Fabulous, so I decided to go back to my "good" side and put my "bad " side on a hanger just again. I had some photos, that I still like, and I love the ocean (from far away only or from the shore) with the water landscape that contains a diversity of life. I had to find Dory, and Nemo was added as a clicker. Here are  the before/after versions. 

Dory and Nemo are not on it, but they are interactive clickers . I created a mixed background in Photoshop to create the Ocean Thematic Text. The only challenge was at the end, to do the start and end, guess because of the updated version of the program. Otherwise, this was pretty interesting and fun to do. 

Galleria Photos. Ipsum style

Blog, blog, blog... Not sure, felt really floral about it. Added Kitty to it, as it was also "required" (not really). WELL, I HAVE BEEN TRYING NOW, TO PUT MY SCRREESHOT into the blog, but the system is acting up. I will try again. I tried four times ,and now it is frustrating that is not even wanting to upload. It is just a JPEG, and it is being a pain in the pumpkin ! Well, there is plan B. IT arrived in Deviantart.

Photography translated into After Effects, then Premier Pro

The weather was graceful enough, to spare a day for photography during this past winter weekend. I had a vision, hoping to execute that vision. The idea was, to use my crystal ball again, to show nature and places in a fisheye and shear global view. So I held up with one hand the crystal ball, and with the other, I shot the photos. At another time, I just set it somewhere to photograph it. The photos were taken at Chambers Bay and Steilacoom by the shore. The closer it was, the more time I had to take photos. It took me over 430 photos, just to achieve a handful of decent shots. Usually I count one good photo for one hundred photos taken. Going through the photos one by one is a different story. About a 100 of them were just crystal ball reflections. I had thought of having a slight dreamy theme for this. The ground in the Adobe After Effects is simply a photo I had taken outside Pierce College and increased the saturation. Color is also my theme. But that is my style, it is color. I love color like a kid loves candy. I like to feel the view of color. The crystal ball it is just a theme of mine, that I will use occasionally for different uses.... Well, no one knows, where reflections may take one to what type of place.

Farting Unicorns On A Rainbow Sticker ...

In a world, that is rigid with being too serious all the time, there needs to be a moment of liberation- a moment to have fun.

Between that journey, there is a sticker to be made. Ok, got the vinyl. Started designing, a fatter Unicorn was my goal. Goal accomplished. Started to cut. Found out the next day, that nothing was cut and the surface got scraped. So three hours went away for nothing. Being angry, to have maxed out all of the vinyl- started salvaging the box...

Most of it was used. And the stickers (yes two stickers, one for show/one for tell) were almost done. The next day, got more vinyl. Finally happy, finished it. The video shows all the parts, that did not consist of all the complications, those were all done the day before. Then anger stuck along with the sticker a little bit, and I hate bubbles- did not really create any, cause I know better. But then things were stuck a little bit off, just got kinda frustrated dealing with a two day job for the size and amount of stickers for three days...

What does the sticker mean ? Well... In a perfect world... Unicorn farting glitter, etc. over a rainbow- Because it is all worth it ! Yes, it is all worth to fart glitter, rainbows and have fun, because the world is perfect ! Since it is really not perfect at all, it is sad, that no one farts glitter and rainbows, but goes through funky moments just to make an effing sticker. It was all worth it though !

 

Fonts-ish

The thing is fonts. Every language seems to have their own font.  That results in a mix of different expressions- guess so at least. Using the font program- showed a different appearance of the font that I had created. I really wanted to make a font with gears, locks and chains, but no luck finding what is in my head, so some day, I hope I can create these vectors...

My computer automatically shut off due to a virus, and my stuff seemed to have vanished, at least the Illustrator Version, even though I clicked save. Crap, this week is like, redoing everything, from stickers to fonts... But still, kept on going and focus on what needs to get done and fighting off my pissedofftivity of technical failures not caused by my own doing, not really. Well, I added then the versions, that I have right now- on a black background to show the chains that form the fonts.

I used my mouse pad on my hooptie-type laptop, old and it keeps on going and I pray every day, don't die on me. You know, when you start talking to your car, then it is time to get a new one, but you are dragging it out, until you get stranded and can pay down on it : )...

Ok, my drawing pad, new and not used, not working. So what to do ? Well, I used my finger to draw the fonts on my mouse pad. Six hours later, it was drawn ! Yep, six hours, but including to enter it into the program. The thing though, I gotta fix a few letters, and that is driving me nuts right now...I will just try again, and if it does not work like I want it, then turn it in with a semi-moping brain, and ask for help to move it later. Because I move it, the letter, and it is still looking off. Most of them seem to be fine, but they are all looking black on the white background and it looks totally different.
So then, I lost the letter "X", but I added it somewhere else, I forgot about it almost, because I don't know my alphabet ( just kidding)....
 Ok, somehow, I must be doing something wrong, for some reason, some of the letters will not centerize( made up word), and I feel defeated for now. But I am going to add it in here to show, what it looks like, in BW colors and I rather like it in the view in front, but it is still a made up font. I learned writing cursive and with time, things became a mix between the writing styles of different languages. Thank God for computers and no longer old school type writers....

It was an epic journey until three four o'clock in the mornings twice in a roll to do this, less sleep more work can bring out some demonic scripts, mmmhhh....
I had to figure out how to show the font on paper...
1. I saved the tff. file of the font on my desktop.
2. Then I took a picture on Microsoft Power Point of the  font image and saved it as a PDF, then as a JPG.
3. I opened up the pic in JPG, enhanced it a little bit, because it is blurry, cropped it and then put it on the blog.
So this is what the font looks like in black and white. I was not trying to imitate Comic Sans Serif, I really was not sure how it would appear, after I completed all of the fonts. I just went with what my finger could draw on a small laptop mousepad. I felt like doing some swirly stuff... It kinda reminds me, when I  used to drag lots of heavy chains at work once upon a time, so I picked chains.
So this is done for now, except in my mind, it is not done, because of the dang Caps D, S, and stuff....
 

OMG (What !?) Oversized Art...(Really !?) Why should size matter?

POLAROID STYLE JOINER

 

 

 

 

 

The idea of this photo was to have a photo of how a Polaroid was being held in the past to show the photo or to dry it and tell the story of having Polaroid photo frames inside of the larger Polaroid frame. The rest is mention on YouTube...

I thought, only short people are vertically challenged, and narrow minded creatures are horizontally challenged. I am confused. Yes, I am "doing work" at a larger scale, but why not? Yeah, there is not enough space in my mind for billions of pixels and polygons, etc. etc...

Nevertheless, the deal is, if the mind is infinitive (unless someone is from the country where Monsieur Dumass (pronounced any kind of way) lives, then the technology should be also as giving and broad-at least a fraction of it.

Meh....

These are the moments, when life seems not to be fair. In fact, it is actually life that is not fair, it is Photoshop that is not fair. When one tries to create a piece of work the size of a Michelangelo, and Photoshop tells you, that the files exceed 2 MG, it is not fair. It is like telling me, I am not allowed to have paint, brushes, gesso and canvas anymore. Tell an Artist to be blind, that is like not how to breathe in life. Allow unlimited space to create inside of a system. Limited minds create limited ideas....

Ehm, I know I should be more efficient using Photoshop, and have less layers. But then my photo will come out like a Kindergarten Picasso. Really, I do not like to create Plan B, which I create first to make it a plan A.

Anyway, getting lost in thoughts about this and angry and frustrated about something that has no value to feel this way, but the human side just validated that what one wants, one cannot always have. Thus, there is the bowl of emotions without the milk....
Well, this photo took multiple steps.
1. Find a Dress ( I prayed for one looking Exactly like this one, took a few months to find it, it is a black wedding dress, priced on the tag for $1, 500.... Well, I got it for less.... Paint the tiara black with some automotive scratch paint (it was left from my totaled ML350, never got a chance to use it).
2. Buy a dress , just for this photo shoot
3. Can't find a model
4. Set up the background with a backdrop frame, curtains and a white sheet, lay down some large canvas onto the ground, put on lights ( the lighting was horrible that day, I am usually really picky at it)...
5. Set up camera, tripod, shutter release cable, and mirror behind the camera to see how the creator of this assignment supposed to pose (no clue, but kinda just said- just Nike it out)
6. Get dressed, do hair, and do everything that needs to be done.
7. Pick up M4 toy rifle
8. Start taking photos, since no model is available, selfies are just a survival skill in the cold rainy outside and a warm home...
9. Go on Photoshop, pick the best ones. Photoshop them, then after an eternal amount of layers-
Create the background for it, create the inside photo for it, struggle for six hours to figure out something simple, and then lose the battle temporarily.
10. Go to school, and professor makes sense, while your mind is still like pudding about it off and on. I got it, I think, 58 seconds out of 60 seconds, got it how it works... Well, then do all the Polaroids for the inside of the whole photo- then go ahead merge it all together into a JPG, because it will not let me save it also as a PSD- because of my Michelangelo sized layers. Go home and realize, that Deviantart tells me, my pic is too phattt. Go back to PS and then resize it. Uploaded it now, and will finally be happy.

BUT NOW JUST TO REALIZE, IT WILL NOT UPLOAD ON DEVIANTART, ROARRRRR ! (MEOW), plus it is too big over here too...

It is after one a.m. and still working on this jay oh kay ee arr...

So the last resort, YouTube it, after PremierPro'ing it, then blog it. I hope my Photoshop "Homicide" case will be pleaded as not guilty. I am not doing this on purpose, to blow up PS, just wanting things a certain way, can't help it.

Meh...

Meow...

The How To Of The Siamese Twin Assignments Two After Assignment One

So the very first thing I had done was, I took a photo of this five week old kitten, shot it in RAW format. Then I went and saved it as a JPEG on my SD card. I enhanced the kitty in Photoshop, adding a dark background and lightening her eye color and adding some extra blue to her eyes. I changed the specifications of brightness and contrast also a little in PS. I added new layers, named the new layers and then added special brushes on Photoshop. Once I was done with all of my layers, I saved it as a PSD File.

 

The second step was to import the photo into the Adobe Flash Program. After setting up Action 3.0, the resolution of 1920 by 1080p, and extending the timeline for about 342 FPS( frames per second), I started adding the layers as a mask over the special brush objects. Every layer was masked. Clicking F6 in alternating sequences and painting over the special brush images from Photoshop, I then created the colored surfaces with the Adobe Flash Photoshop brush- to cover these images in post production in Adobe After Effects. Once that was completed, I rendered it and saved it to my desktop.

 

The third step was to import the file into Adobe After Effects. After it was imported, I started to change some of the brightness and contrast, some of the glow of the kitten's eyes and added a tri-color overlay as an effect. I rendered this also and saved the file on my desktop.

The final step for this task was to import this file to Premier Pro. I added a text title and cut down the music matching the photo's theme, and added at the end the same text title. I cut some of the extra excessive footage of images off to have a better visual outcome. After that, I checked the work of the movie and I exported it as H.264 to my desktop. I saved all my files and closed out all of my programs.

 

The fourth step was to watch the online tutorial. I went on Google's blogger and created a blog name.

Since I already have a Google account, the link sent me straight to my old profile. I added a few things to my profile. I went back and watched the tutorial and added a photo from the png. file of kitty. I learned how to customize the resolution, so I changed the resolution of the uploaded image.

The fifth step was to upload the video on my YouTube Channel.

My name is Yasi, but I also am called Yazzy. I did not know, what I wanted to do, when I got out of the Army, and I did not know then I wanted to be an artist. I worked as a truck mechanic and other multiple jobs in the service.

 

I was born and raised overseas, came to the States when I was 22 and left again when I was 29. I came back seven years later to Fort Lewis until I got out of the military in 2013. Education has been a life time dream, and I realized, that I wanted to do art, but I did not know, it would be Graphic Design until last quarter. I really like and hate animation, anything for kids, such as cartoons, photography, traditional art and epic score music.

 

I bought a pregnant cat from a religious lady by mistake, so here is one of her kittens as a result posted on this new blog.The next blog will entail the rest of the story in this journey of this assignment.This is my very first blog since the 70s (not really). I did not know how to do a blog until today!
