Pre-Somewhere

 Pre-Somewhere Project

March 18 2024 - Luke Bettano

    For an upcoming project, I must edit myself into a shot from a movie. The images below, will you be used as inspiration for this project. They were found from social media and different websites.

                                                   

  The image above would be difficult to photoshop myself into because, there is little space, I would need to match the comedic energy, and I would need to make a shadow for myself. I should not use a photo like this for my project.


 The image above inspires me because it is outdoors and has a lighthearted tone, so it would be enjoyable to capture. I want to do an outdoor shot from a comedic film. I also want to capture relatable people I would realistically hang out with, and this guy gives off that energy.


The image above is very funny as it directly follow the prompt, is unexpected. The image suggests something funny, that if she wanted to make him stop dabbing she could have dropped him. This would be wrong but that's what makes if funny, comedy is often slightly wrong.


 The image above is very relevant, which is why It stood out to me, marketing firms market products like this using lighting. I think is important to understand so that when I see commercials or pictures I remember they use methods like this, to optimize the appearance of an object.

Somewhere

 Somewhere Project  March 20th 2024 - Luke Bettano      The image above is me photoshopped with 3 former US presidents. I was originally going to do an image from a movie, but recently I had the opportunity to take a tour of the Whitehouse, so I wanted to an use an image from that experience. The image is me in my outfit, and I knew it would work with a photo like the one chose. The image I edited into was taken at Arlington cemetery, inside of an outdoor theater. I knew it would be challenging to edit all he different aspects of my appearance, in regards to light and definition, so as expected this process took some time. I am happy with the result. I selected an masked myself from my own image and placed it in an open spot in the president's image, so it looked like I was one of them. I adjusted my location and size. In order to implement myself into it I had to apply blur to myself, change the darkness of my suit, and change the hue and saturation to appear m...

Portfolio, Final Blog

 Portfolio 4/25/2024 - Luke Bettano       The pages below make up my portfolio for my 10 projects that I felt best represented my experience in FMX this semester. This was my last project and will be my last blog post. My portfolio served as a way to represent my best works, and was made using Adobe InDesign. The color palettes was analogous, and made using light blue and dark blue, with white as an important color too. The pages were white because that best complimented the work, and blue is my favorite color, and matched some of my works. I used Futura for the headings, gotu for the body, and minions pro for the page numbers. I made a cover and a back page. I started with stable of contents, and about me section, where I introduced myself and my work. I had one project on each page, except the logo and tag brush were on one page. I used light blue for the headings and page numbers, and dark blue for the body text. I believe they blended together nicely. All of...

Photo Shop Tutorials Feb 27 2024 - Luke Bettano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1mwj8AH98Y&pp=ygUmc2hvcnQgcGhvdG9zaG9wIHR1dG9yaWFsIGZvciBiZWdpbm5lcnM%3D     The tutorial above outlines the basics of photoshop, and the tools that come with it. It starts by showing the menu and file information, which work similar to illustrator. After explaining the basics that mostly overlapped with illustrator, he introduced a couple of the important tools. The tools he introduced were the move, selection, lasso, quick selection, crop, frame, eyedropper, spot healing, paintbrush, clone stamp, gradient, dodge, pen, text, path selection, hand, and zoom tool, as well as other tools. These tools were all useful in different ways, it so interesting how many tools photoshop has, and how a lot of them are easy to understand, and useful. These tools give you a lot of control over your images. The tools I expect to use are the basic ones, like pen, crop, eyedropper, and more, however some other t...
