Hey Guys my video self portrait at the beginning scene is suppose to show the city I live in, and cloud like motion tracked text just showing what this video is about and who made it, FYI imagine that is me. I mainly put clips representing hockey and how exciting it can be at times and that this is the sport I love the most. The reason I put myself walking into the cyber arts room because it has become a part of my life now, so showing this scene is basically showing who I am and what I like to do best which is what I basically showed in this video.

Hey guys the same day i went to O.C.A.D. University i went out to do some street photography, these are my 10 best photos i ended up with. After i got these pictures which I got from Downtown Toronto was I photshoped them and i let Photoshop adjust the colour, tone, and contrast. But the thing I did myself was I played with the vibrance and the saturation in each and every one of these photos. I didn't set it to a specific level i just played around and just looked for the best result.

Hey guys, the other day i went to O.C.A.D University, e fortunately had enough time to visit all six floors and on the 3rd floor filled with great paintings I came across this and it was most appealing to me out of all of them. This photo may look like this was photographed then was edited in Photoshop. But this is actually a painting. I like this painting because it has alot of detail in it, notice at the top of the helmet where you can see the refection, that really stands out and it is one of the reasons why this painting is so great. Not only that but the lighting of this picture, you can tell the light is coming from the ceiling for sure but as its hitting the wooden floor it make a really nice effect, and this artist clearly did not forget the shadows in this painting. I myself honestly find nothing to critique about this artwork. In my opinion this is as good as it gets.

Kinetic Typography

Hey guys, this is my kinetic typography i created in Adobe After Effects Cc, it took me about a week to complete, i chose a fast pace song because i like it when the words move in a fast motion, it just catches my attention better than a sow pace song would catch my attention. I used different types of movements in this video  to change things up a bit, and so it wouldn't look so repetitive. Anyways go check out my video and enjoy.

The song i originally used was

Jersey Drawn in Illustrator

I chose the file format Png because Png recovers the image the best out of all of them I find. The colours compared to Jpeg aren't very different but if you notice the colours actually are different, but its not very easy to notice, you have to look closely for the difference.

The way I traced this image as well as I did was of course using the pen tool, I would just basically zoom into the point where you would see the pixels, I wouldn't go over the edges where you would see the pixels because it would look to big, instead i overlapped the remaining showing pixels with the other colour. But mainly getting it as accurately as possible i don't look at the fact that I had to use the least points because that would make me hesitant on what i wanted to do, by removing that thought from my head it made I easier for me to draw this out.

1. Open up original file in Illustrator
2. Create a layer for to draw over original image and compare between the 2
3. Use pen tool to trace out out lines
4.Use Eyedropper tool to match colours with the original photo as accurately as possible.
5. When finished the Illustrator file was opened up in photoshop
6. Once it was turned into a photoshop file I exported it into a Png

I honestly never really overcame a challenge, i thought i was confident coming out of this and how my picture looked. I already had enough practice using Illustrator in the past and I think i was good on my own. I actually kind of had trouble just matching the colours between the original photo and i think I could've done a better job on it. But overall i'm happy with the way it came out.

Pixel Art

Hey guys this is my pixel art that I made in Photoshop. The first one is Jpeg, the second
one is a Png, and the last one is a Giff. The one I personally think looks the best is the

 Png image, the colours are darker in the Jpeg and there is more detail in the Png if you look closely, the Giff we can all tell look the worst. But this can be based on your opinion and this is mines.

Step by step procedure in making this pixel art.

1. Opened up photoshop and I made a layer.

2. I used a pencil tools and to match the colour in the original photo to the pixel art photo i used the eyedropper tool to match the colours to the best of my ability.

3. When I was done I simply saved this file into 3 types which is Jpeg, Png, Giff

What I made stand out in this pixel art was my eyebrows. My eyebrows are quite bushy so I made that stand out in a pure black.
