For this assignment, I was asked to retouch and repair 3 three different photographs then do a side by side comparison with the originals. I used the stamp tool, marquee tool, lasso tool, and healing brushes to restore and retouch the three individual images I chose. I wanted to find a few pictures that appeared ripped or damaged and fix them because I find the process fascinating. With picture A, I wanted to make the picture feel more complete. In terms of the technical aspects, the resolution for the photos is 150 ppi with RGB color mode enabled. In terms of exact dimensions, each photo differed. Retouch A was a large photo so the dimensions are 37 x 13 inches. Retouch B is 16.6 x 5.8 inches. Retouch C is 16 x 5.8 inches as well. The big design principal that found a constant theme in this week’s assignment is negative space. For each retouch comparison, the photos needed to be lined up next to each other while being spaced out equally with some sort of colorful border surrounding them.
My name is Austin Pappolla and I am a sophomore at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut. I am currently majoring and pursuing a degree in the field of media studies. Other than being a full-time student, I also have a part-time job on YouTube. I have a successful channel about Overwatch esports with over 12,000 subscribers and counting! I am an aspiring full-time YouTuber who also has an interest in working in the field of both standard sports and esports. Some personal information about me is that my hometown is located in North Branford, Connecticut where I am part of a family of five. During my free time, I enjoy watching sports, and physical activity ranging from walking my dog to playing basketball. As a media studies major, I recognize that knowing how to do the basics of what is expected from me using Photoshop and other Adobe programs could be crucial towards my ability to field a job in the media program. Using the experience I gain from learning these programs, I hope to make good use of them in any future endeavors I take, whether it is job-related or something personal.
