final narrative

This is my final narrative what i was trying to show with these images was a story of myself. Starting with the first picture of me as a baby; in this picture i have me starting off as i was born to play basketball ever since i was little. things that i had used was a basketball goal a basketball, a trophy and my pass to the national champions. I was trying to represent a dream. little kids always say what they want to be when they grow up well this was what i pictured. My background was of the tennessee basketball court i chose it because i have always wanted to play for Pat Sumitt and Tenn. was my favorite team so i figured it would be a good background. The tools i used alot of it was cropping the pictures i did have from the original background and doing an overlay with some of the pictures and adjusting the color balance and the brightness of some. With the background i also added a big basketball and did an overlay to blend alot of it in, but the main focus of the picture that i wanted to catch the viewers eye was the baby. with the second picture i was trying to go for a hindu goddess theme that had arms coming out of her body and the reason for this i was trying to get the point across that with these things you can succeed. I chose a basketball as the background as well as a basketball goal i messed with the brightness of the goal to not make it stand out as much i had taken a picture of my arm and cropped it and added it to the image and and using the transform under edit i sized and rotated it to have it look lilke its coming out of her body.




With this last picture the point that i was trying to make to follow along with the story is that she is the basketball now that its truly a part of her. for the background i added things that delt with basketball shoes trophys a basketball goals things that got her to where she finally was. With the face and making it a basketball what i did was put a basketball over the original face and then duplicted the picture of her i cropped the eyes and lips and then did a gradient affect with the ball to have it shown just half of her face and not the full head a basketball and then i just erased and worked around the edges of the mouth. i also added basketballsin her eyes to emphasize my point of the story.
