Reflection - For this project, it was super easy and I found the program that we used to be super easy and really reliable in the terms that all of the tools worked well and properly and I did not really experience any difficulties in that sense. I feel like the most challenging part to the entire "slideshow" was ensuring that all of the pictures were not entirely cropped therefore you could see the entire photo! I couldn't really figure out how to do it until Skyler helped me otherwise the entire project was smooth sailing. Next time, I would add more photos like my angle pictures and all of that but other than that, I feel like my video turned out really well! The tools I used for this were just to add the title page and the transitioning tools. I could use this program and the tools I used to make projects and slide shows, etc.

Re-Contextualization and Gaze Position

 

 

Reflection - For this assignment, everything worked pretty well. I enjoyed trying to find/edit pictures in order to make this work. It was pretty difficult to come up with ideas to actually make the project out of but otherwise, it was fairly easy in a way. I don't know if I would do anything differently next time or even if I would ever do this project again. Unless if it were for a project in college, then I might do something similar. I used the most common tools that I generally do like the quick select tool and I also used tools like the paint brush tool and the copy and paste tools. I don't know any other ways to use this type of project other than if it were for a campaign on not to do something, etc. I think it would be funny to do stuff like this for billboards, etc.
The first picture is for a Pacsun ad which is a clothing store and I changed it to be for a pacman picture.
The second picture is for the store American Eagle and I changed it to say "American Pigeon" featuring a pigeon.
The last picture is the album to Rihanna's cover "Loud" which is changed to her featuring duct tape covering her mouth and the words "Silent" in for the word "Loud".

Photoshop Effect

Question - Should images of models that have been Photoshopped be labeled? Why or why not?

I truthfully believe that images of models should be labeled if they have been Photoshopped or edited in some way. I believe this because images that display women that have unrealistically perfect bodies give the audience unrealistic expectations of what they themselves should look like. For example, the Dove commercials show various women of different shapes, sizes, and skin colors in their campaigns and I love them because it is what actual women look like. I believe that both men and women should strive to love their bodies and what they have been blessed with. Therefore, Photoshopped images should be labeled to show what has and has not been changed.


Question - If steroids are illegal for athletes, should Photoshop be illegal for models? 

Photoshop should entirely be illegal for models. If an individual has been blessed with the perfect body and facial features, there would be no need for Photoshop in any way. Or, it should be a required law that photographers should have to post both the edited and the original images on their websites, etc. As someone that consistently looks at magazines, I look at pictures of Photoshop women and ponder upon my own body with my own insecurities. I feel like it would be refreshing for audiences to get a real down to Earth perspective on the images that they look at daily.
