EXTRA CREDIT: Self Portrait and Representation


This is a photo of myself that was taken a year ago in Los Angeles, California on the day of the Oscars. I aspire to have my own walk of fame star and win an Oscar award as a film editor. I bought this one in the picture as a souvenir to remind myself what one of my goals are in life. Last semester, I won a "mini Oscar" award at the Black Box Film Festival for best animation. I found it ironic that this was given to me as an award since I hope to receive one in the future. After college, I plan to move out to Los Angeles and find work out there. This has been a dream of mine since I was 15 years old.

I made a poster of myself using tracing tools on Adobe Illustrator. I decided to make three different versions.

The top left is what Santi played with in class.

Autoscopy Project

Image
I used photoshop for the first time since Freshmen year of High School. I struggled a bit figuring out the tools so this project took me some time. Back home, I always joke around with how I am the golden child out of all my siblings. I have my three siblings in the right corner and I am highlighted in gold. I organized each layer so I wasn't confused. I played around with the original background so it doesn't look like the original. I did this with the halo and cloud as well. I also smudged my teeshirt so it didn't say "deegee" on it. I like the way this project turned out.
