Project #7 Autoscopy consists of 7-10 images of places, things and a self-portrait taken by me. I explored layer effects and PS filters on the images, particularly playing with the adjustment layers of Hue/Saturation to change the colors in the images, Brightness/Contrast to change the tonal range of the image, Exposure to contradict and correct tonal values and Vibrance to increase the intensity of the muted colors while leaving the already saturated colors alone. 

 I chose to recreate a poster of "The New Yorker" inspired by one of my favorite magazines. Using the automatic tracing tools like the Pen tool and the Eyedropper tool I was able to copy the original image tracing the vector shapes and fill them in with the original color scheme demonstrated. 

I chose to make a gradient mesh of an pomegranate  First I selected an image of one with a white or transparent background from an internet image search. Then I converted this object into vector shapes using gradient mesh and other advanced illustration techniques like using the eye dropper tool to match colors and the pen tool to add shapes and dimensions to the fruit to make it look life-like. 

Above I have designed 3 business card using my own logos. The designs are two sided and further reflect the brand I am promoting earlier on Project 3. 

The inspiration for the logos above are derived from my roommate's and mine's start up clothing company called Opulent Revival. The logos are custom made just like the unique custom quality we add to the clothing. Our pieces are created from recycled denim and we hand stitch the revival quality  of our products.
