Who Am I?

Baking is my passion, it takes me to a different place, I can relax but I’m also extremely focused. I’m always looking to improve my baking skills. Its a nice way to spend an afternoon, baking not only keeps me busy but it also pays off in the end, I’m left with something sweet. Making new things is always my favorite thing to do, I’m very eager to learn and do better each time.

Culture Clash

Purpose:

• To create a Clash of Cultures by creating your own Photo montage, combining images from Beijing, China and Yarmouth, Maine, USA;

• To further develop your Photoshop knowledge and skills;
• To create a “surreal” landscape by montaging a variety of photographs;

• To know, use, and understand the Four Collage Techniques to in your Photo Montage: Juxtaposition/fragmentation, Point of View, Scale Change, Overlapping

The successes of this project were the sizes of each picture. It was very difficult to get the size of each picture exactly how I wanted them to be though. Another challenge that I had was placing the images in good spots. Sometimes I had to change where I was putting images because I didn’t like the way it looked. I learned how to incorporate images with others and make them look good together.

When I created this image I heard the dripping of the rain gently falling from the roof. I smelled freshly mown grass from across the street. I saw the sun coming out for a minute which made things perfect, and beautifully colored flowers that were blooming. I felt the cold wind rushing past me when I bent over to take the picture.

Hobbies, Jillian

When I created this image I heard the waves crashing on the rocks down at the beach. I smelled the bakery that was around the corner. I saw brightly colored houses everywhere. I felt the warm sun on my face and the wind gusting by.
