Photoshop Portrait Project

For my second Contemporary Media Project, I was asked to create a photoshop grunge portrait of myself. The process included the following instructions from this link:  http://wegraphics.net/blog/tutorials/create-a-colorful-grunge-portrait-in-seconds/

There were four steps that I followed #1 I took a picture of myself using photo booth and turned it into black and white image #2 I got a good worn paper texture. I’m using one from our Free High Res Paper Texture Set. I bumped the contrast a bit using ( Image | Adjust | Levels ). My document is 558×837 at 72dpi.#3 I copied and pasted my black and white picture to a layer above my texture paper #4I bumped up the contrast using ( Image | Adjust | Levels ), the amount will vary based on your photo. Then I applied a ( Filter | Artistic | Watercolor ) Then finished it off by painting it.

In my contemporary media class, our first assignment is to define Contemporary Media.According Wikipedia.com are the following:

 “New media most commonly refers to content available on-demand through the Internet, accessible on any digital device, usually containing interactive user feedback and creative participation. Common examples of new media include websites such as online newspapers, blogs, wikis, video games and social media. A defining characteristic of new media is dialogue. New Media transmit content through connection and conversation. It enables people around the world to share, comment on, and discuss a wide variety of topics. Unlike any of past technologies, New Media is grounded on an interactive community”

In this statement I’d like to say that Contemporary Media is everything in the generation.The Media is everything having to do with all the technology all the phones.And this includes FaceBook,SnapChat,Twitter, and the list gets bigger and bigger but these three are the ones that are well known.For example I use my phone for SnapChat and music on YouTube Media is everything these days.
