I chose to do The United States of Tara because its one of my favorite shows and did not get picked up for a fourth season .  But my simple homage to the show demonstrates the main plot line which follows Tara Greggor a Kansas housewife who suffers from multiple personality disorder.  To create this poster I copied an image of paper dolls and filled them with white paint in FotoFlexer. I then transfered the image to Gimp and laid the dolls atop a blue background and added type that mimicked the show’s font.  Using a string of identical paper dolls gives the message that all of Tara’s personalities are a part of her and essential are reflections of her.

Visual Assignment – ReCaptcha « j-rabbit.info
I love the idea behind this assignment. I have stared at countless Captchas wondering ” what in the world is that?”, I would even go and Google a word out of curiosity(usually with no luck). However, I digress. For this assignment, the ds106 gods gave me the captcha “Homeip Elected”. Upon seeing this, immediately thought of a  family at home, watching elections and election campaigns. However, the president was replaced with a new profession – the PI, other wise known as Private Investigators.

Splash the Color – It’s all downhill from here
Splash the Color – It’s all downhill from here
I began the task with the help of Annie Belle’s excellent video tutorial. Although she provided two different techniques to create her color splash, I soon learned that the tools that she described in her “Photoshop CS4″ corresponded in no way to the limited number of tools I had in “Photoshop Elements 6″. However, learning is all about discovery… so I forged on. First I selected a color photo that I had taken on a new bicycle path in Bird’s Hill Park. I thought that the yellow colored signs would be easy to crop and work around.

I was on campus today and had a 3 hour break between two classes. For once, I had no work to finish up. Well, at least work that I had with me at the time. I decided to take the opportunity to walk around campus and take pictures of random things that I thought were interesting. My adventure took me past the Judicial building, where the landscape was surprisingly dull. One my way out, I saw a series of red bushes which stood out a great deal so I decided to take a picture of them. After snapping the picture, I realized that seeing a guy walking around in a trench coat with a camera (a pink one, nonetheless) lurking in bushes catches students attention. Then I remembered the visual assignments for this class and figured I might be able to knock some out with my new pictures.  For my first official Visual Assignment, I decided to take care of the Color Splash option and came up with this.

This was one of the saved photos on my computer. I thought it looked better when I changed it to black and white, but I still liked the color of the shoes, so color splash was the perfect tool. I wear Converse shoes almost on a regular basis, so it was easy to think of something simple to do a visual assignment on.

I just finished my first visual assignment! I’m two stars towards making it to ten. This assignment asked me to take a picture of one of your closest friends and put it beside their celebrity look-a-like. Well, I took this candid picture a long time ago and always joked about how she looked like Hammy from Over the Hedge in it. I guess Hammy isn’t really a celebrity but they’re still look-a-likes! I had fun making this and definitely got some laughs out of it. Enjoy!

Fat Cats Make Art Better | tipet.us
Here is my first Visual Assignment, Fat Cats Make Art Better.  I decided to go a different route and use a photograph as the setting for my fat cat.  Here is the original cat in his natural setting: http://vir4l.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/fat_cat.jpg Using this famous photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono as the setting I first cut out the cat from its original background in FotoFlexer. Then I added the background picture behind the cat and blurred the edges so he appeared to be lounging on Yoko’s lap. Once I saw the assignment and this photograph it wasn’t hard to “Imagine” including a fat cat.

the 488th day of summer
the 488th day of summer
The scene featured in the animation above is from (500) Days of Summer, which is one of my favorite movies. It tells a realistic story in a hopeful way. So many movies about love either have a cliche romcom ending or a depressingly sad ending. (500) Days of Summer is “not a love story,” it is a “story about love.” It’s truthful and heartbreaking and comforting all at the same time. I chose this scene because it’s the anchoring point of the movie. As stated in the script (pictured above), the movie opened with this scene on day 488, then went all the way back at day 1. Throughout the movie, different days are shown, highlighting snippets of Summer and Tom’s relationship, and finally day 488 rolls around again.

You Are Not a Photographer | Exposing fauxtographers since 2011
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS STARTING A PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS THESE DAYS. THESE BUY-A-DSLR-AND-OPEN-UP-SHOP PHOTOGS NEED A WAKE UP CALL, THEY ARE NOT PHOTOGRAPHERS. Being a photographer means owning more than one lens, and most of all knowing about basic lighting and composition. Ginger and Mary Anne are sisters from different misters. One night they sent links to awful “professional” quality photos back and forth and “You Are Not a Photographer” was born.
