Text Art!

Using the GlassGiant.com, I transformed a picture of a crown into a pretty ACSII image!

Using Text-Image.com, I transformed a picture of two happily-in-love flamingo's into a more powerful ACSII image :)

Using Tagxedo.com, I assembled different words of love and the engine combined them all into a spelled out "LOVE" and created this lovely image for me :) It was cool to play around with different styles and sizes!

Using Textorizer 1, I transformed a picture of a book with pages shaped like a heart, and incorporated different words of love. It was easier to control what I wanted in this program with tools such as opacity, font, and size. 

Textorizer 2, a more developed version of 1, allowed for me to create this image of wine being poured into a glass. I used different words for wine, such as white, red, merlot, chardonnay, etc. Then, I got to play around with the opacity, text size and font, line size, scale, and saturation. 

With Excoffizer, I took a model with colorful make-up and created an image using different levels of opacity, angles, wiggles, and space between lines.

ART!

The two images above were made using the online program, Scribbler. I enjoyed using this site to play around with different 'scribble' tools and create fun pictures!

The two above pictures were created using, Scribbler Too. The difference between Scribbler and Scribbler Too is freedom to create what you want and play around with it. The first picture is a diamond that shines all around and the bottom picture is one created by uploading a picture of a pair of shoes and outlining them to give them a 'scribbled' pink effect.

The final two pictures were created using the program, Flame. The fire effect that it gives you is very cool to work with. The emotion I was shedding was happiness and excitement. The feeling I got after having such a close-to-summer day! :)

Video Mashup!

This is a video mashup I made featuring the movies, "Despicable Me" and "Space Jam." :) I imported the youtube videos into my computer, then downloaded and used Windows Movie Maker and a range of different transitional effects.
The meaning of the mashup is the girls being adopted by the monsters from space jam. Enjoy! :)

Face Swap!

Using Phoenix Image Editor on Aviary.com, I created this face swap of my boyfriend and I! My first layer was a picture I took of myself, and the second layer was a picture of him and I that I cropped to use his face. By image selecting and inverting, cropping and cutting, playing with the alpha (transparency between layers), then erasing and editing, I compiled the finished product - Ben's head on my body!
What a silly girl he makes ;)

A Day in the Life of Me!

Hello bloggers! I made a Google docs presentation featuring none other but the domestic diva! I hope you enjoy the pretty glittery background I included and random information about myself ;) I had fun using the Google docs presentation maker. It is a cloud app. That means that the whole presentation I made, along with any editing, will be used and stored online! No taking up space on my computer! The presentation was pretty easy to do. It was just like using Microsoft Powerpoint, but with less options. It still had all the basics and gives a nice finished product. Enjoy! :)

Railroad Crossing

This is a picture I took with a 5 megapixel iPhone a couple of weeks ago in a park. I edited this picture with picnik using various tools. The feeling I was going for was a child-like, olden days image. First, I cropped the photo to put the focus on the trains, yet still leaving some of the grass and sky. It was a perfectly overcast day, and I loved the way the clouds sat in this picture. Then, I used exposure to balance the colors. After that, I increased the saturation to add some grey to the picture to accentuate the parts, especially the clouds. I gave it a monochrome look, and I even added a bit of sharpness to make everything stand out. I then used the effect called "HDR-ish," which strengthens the photo and plays with the radius to give it a sharp, almost pencil-drawn look. Finally, I used "boost" to literally boost some of the colors (especially the blue sky). And voilà! :)

Urban Landscape Video

This was a video I made for my digital art media class using Animoto, featuring the song "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri and photos I took a few weeks ago around the town I live in, Maumee.
