Considerable/Indifferent




It was an Environmental Science class that made me to consider the issue of recycling. I learned that although the amount of plastic bottles recycled has increased, the actual rate remains at around 27percent. I became very considerable of the plastic recycling, and try my best to recycle every bottle I drink. 

I adjusted image size, levels, color balance first, and posterized the image. Then, I changed color balance on the bottle image which I got from an internet. I copied and pasted to make a background. After that, I pasted the recycling logo which I also changed the color. Then, I pasted the recycling bin which originally said "CAN", but I changed to "PLASTIC".

I was 9years old when 9/11 attack happened. I was indifferent because I was too young to realize the gravity of the situation. The attack was not touching at all for me mostly because it happened in a different country where I have never been to. I was too young to feel the seriousness and damage of the attack. I still remember the day of a grief and horror was an ordinary day for me. For that reason, I chose myself to be indifferent when buildings are falling down in the image. 

I cropped out myself from an image I had before. Then, I attached a brick image, a window image, and a building-destroying image. I decided to put a text inside of the window, but it seemed text inside (where I am) would fit better, so I put it on the menu I am reading.

Nostalgia

After changing image size, levels and resolution, I posterized the image. With the magic wand tool, I clicked onto other colors. Then, I clicked option and delete to fill the area.

Friendship

I adjusted image color, levels, resolution and color balance. Then I changed RGB image to grayscale to change it to bitmap. I changed foreground and background colors, and then with magic wand tool, I clicked the black area. Then, I used the gradient tool to drag over the white pixels.

Reminisce

I adjusted image size, levels and resolution first. Then, I adjusted threshold and altered colors by changing foreground and background colors.
