Jordan Grimaud Raster Project

       For my exploration of time and space raster project I chose photos of my friend doing parkour through a scene.  I wanted to show how he chooses to not simply move blankly through a space to his destination but actually explores that space.  I wanted to state how this sets him apart from other people, so all other characters in the scene were made to look like ghosts.  

       How I made this was really simple.  I took many pictures of the same scene with my friend in all different positions.  Then I cut him out of each picture and placed him on the background scene in the same position.  The last thing I did was the same method for the other people in the scene, but to them I lowered the opacity and added a blur to make them ghost like.  

Jordan Grimaud Raster Project Places

Looking into view of the alley which is on campus, for my raster project of my friend doing parkour progressively getting closer to me. 
The second is from a balcony and I would be looking more down onto mill avenue to get an angled bird's eye perspective on my friend as he moves down the street around people and over obstacles.

      For the raster project I am not entirely decided upon which of my ideas I will go with but I am leaning towards my first of taking photos of my friend doing parkour.  I believe it is a good example of spacial exploration, and not just moving through a space differently than walking but interacting with objects to move through the space.      
      The other idea I am considering is the one of me climbing a building face over time.  I believe I can add more depth to the meaning as it is something that has more of a personal meaning.  I will likely do the third idea of taking photos all around an object not for the project but for myself to help in my drawing pursuits.  After a few photos I should be able to decide more on which idea I want to do.

Raster exercise: Photoshoped Justin Beiber

       For this raster exercise I chose to portray Justin Bieber in a negative light.  I do not like the celebrity and therefore wanted to humiliate him and put him in a situation that we all want, in jail with a violent cell mate. 
       To create this image, I used an image of Justin, a person in prison, and some prison cell bars.  I adjusted the over all lighting to give a darker mood.  Then I used the burn tool to add bruises and the liquify effects to add swelling.  I used various images of disgusting things such as cuts and blisters to make him look more messed up.
