Self Calligram!

 





This is the calligram of a picture I took at the Czech Republic bridge, it was cold during the time so the black area is my scarf! This project was fun to do because I wrote my letter and picked out the words that I wrote into the image and moved them around based on the different kinds of shapes that I had created. I first outlined the original image to showcase the parts where I was going to write the text and then made the shapes within the timeline. It took a few hours only because I had a few issues at first like the word didn't go into the shapes or the words wouldn't change color. After a while, I got a hang of the work and it was easier to do! I didn't time myself how long I took because I did a little everyday, but it was fun to make.

About Me!

 Hello,  My name is Noemi Lopez and I am a senior at the University of Tampa pursuing a BFA in Film and Media Arts! I am a Mexican American producer, director, and cinematographer and my first language is Spanish. I am a fun, upbeat, lovable person, who is always down for a good adventure.  I am very excited about this course because I love doing creative assignments and I cannot wait to see the fun material that I will be learning to use in my future work. I expect to master the programs we will be using in class to become the professional that I want to be in my career path. 

Mean Girls Special Guest!

This assignment was really fun to do! I have no idea why Mean Girls came into my mind when brainstorming which film to do but I really think the outcome was clean. I had to search up various images from the scenes that was large enough for me to edit and for me to have space to include myself. The one I found above was the best choice out of all of them and it had enough space for me to insert myself there. I dressed up like them and got a purse and masked myself out from the original image and copy and pasted myself to the film scene. It took a lot of blending and changing the light to match the scene but it was so fun to make!

Mexican Skull

Original Image  JPG/ 100%/ 4.1MB  JPG/ 75%/ 1.8MB JPG/ 50%/ 958KB JPG/ 25%/ 594KB JPG/ 0%/ 289KB GIF/ 8T/ 128KB GIF/ 8/ 130KB GIF/ 4/ 75KB GIF/ 2/ 53KB I had fun making this project simply because it was so weird and experimental. As I was looking for a new selfie to use, I ran into this image and instantly I got the idea of putting the Mexican skull on my face and make myself merge within a new character. I got some Mexican flag decorations as well to make it more colorful and it worked out pretty nice. I personally liked the gif images better because it makes it look like an ancient picture and the skull looks more realistic with the noise and blend of colors.
