  For this project I took six pictures of me wearing different clothing playing a game of Uno. I made sure to have the images layered in a way that some versions of me were on top of others. I made sure to keep shadows so that it looked natural with the lighting in the room. The different versions of myself all interact with each other in different ways. One is looking at his winning card. Two others are reaching for cards. The version of me in red offers snacks to the blue shirt me. While he gets his snack, the version of me in the NASA shirt cheats and looks at his cards.

  For this project I chose to put myself into a scene from the movie Jurassic Park . I first inserted the picture of the movie scene. Then I layered a picture of me crouching over the dinosaur. I layered another picture of the movie scene on top of me to have the dinosaur and the girl appear in front of me. I added in noise and adjusted the contrast and brightness of the picture of me to make it better match the look of the scene. Lastly, I added in shadows onto my face and shirt that the dinosaur is creating. I also added in shadows that I'm casting onto the girl's hand and on the dinosaur's nose. This picture is without the added shadows: I cleaned up the picture:

  For this project I choose three different triad color palettes from adobe. I set the color in the middle of the palette to the color that would be for my skin. This way all the other colors (for clothes, hair, background, etc.) would pop and have contrast to the skin.
