This is the autoscopy that I created. I started with a selfie of mine and combined half of the evil mask. The background is space with all its plants and I also combined a UFO in there. I created this piece because I never knew how much I was into space. I started becoming more interesed about space because it is so big and we still do not know if there is more to life than just us. Space is so interesting because you learn so much about it and still do not know anything. There could be other living beings living in another plantet and they could look so different from us. This piece was created to inspire other people to imagine and believe. 

                               Above, in black and white is a logo that I created in Illustrator. The logo will represent me when people see it. I wanted to create a logo no one has seen before. As I was thinking of what I should create, a crown popped up in my head. As a child, a crown has represented power and strength to me. As I was messing around with different shapes, I  realized that if I make it into a smiley face it will look very good. Obviously it's a smiley face but I wanted to create the mouth to look more like a moon. This is because recently I have realized the beauty of the moon.  For this assignment, our mission was to create a brush with our logo and the provided images.

From this video about beginners, I learned that once you hit control u, the hue/saturation settings come up. This is a very important tool that I know I will be using. The tool is very easy to control. All you need to do is go to one of the three options which are hue, saturation and lightness and drag the bar to however much you want it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bStwbUQ4Uks In this video I learned a lot of simple tools that are easy to use but my favorite had to be the dodge and burn tool. These tools allow you to increase and decrease the brightness level of the photo highlight, midtones, and lowlights. With these two tools comes a third which is the sponge tool. This tool allows you to adjust the color intensity. I like these tools a lot because it allows you to make the image look so much better with a simple brush. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQQqnn2uZv4 In photosh
