Individual Work Samples













These were false photos that I did in Photoshop. The first is a dog riding a rocket powered skateboard. this combined elements of several pictures which  each on their own was completely normal. But When I put them together, taking advantage of the human tendency to view adjacent parts as a collective whole, it became a ridiculous picture that looks more or less real. The second picture I Photo-shopped to show me in a T-shirt sitting on top of mount Everest. Two reasons this is impossible, I am in nowhere near good enough shape to climb mount everest, and its really cold up there. However, with photo editing tools I was easily able to show myself on top of the mountain by simply splicing 2 photos together. These examples proved to me how easily the human eye can be fooled, and not to believe pictures on the internet.

Resume

      I designed my resume to show me in a professional light. Using much of what I learned in this class I was able to make my severely limited work experience and make a presentable resume. Before this class my resume was almost completely unusable however now I am confident that I will find a job for this summer.
