Geometric Portraits


In this next project we were asigned to make a low poly image in photoshop. Smiling is something people do around the world. But in different countries it means different thing like in the united states smiling is more of showing respect for someone while in Switzerland they say they are one of the most happiest people yet don't really smile. Smiling doesn't have to deal with the happines of life it is what you are taught. But overall where ever you are everyone will have a facial expression on their faces even though it may not be a smile. 

First you need to take a picture and load it into photoshop. When in photoshop you make a new project and add any filters or adjustments to make your photo even better.Then basically the thing in common with all 3 is you take the lasso tool and make triangles and fill them in. Either with the eye dropper tool and Alt+delete or filter blur average then for all the other triangles command f. The very first one we did we made outlines and then filled them in. When we did the first one this was part of the outline steps. We had all the outlines say for our eyes we would select all the layers and merge them together and rename it eyes to help us keep organized; we did that for all of our features. After we finished the triangle in all of our features and liked it we would merge all the lines together. For the second one we went straight into the lasso tool and coloring it in. The very last one we used a combo of both and a new one for the breaking glass effect.

When we did it the easy way it was just sliding some buttons and creating it, EASY but it didn't come out exactly how I wanted it. When we did the first one we had a little more control on how big and small the triangle were and kinda how we wanted it to look. But with the second and third one we had way more control then the easy. We could hand pick the colors ourselves then the computer choosing it for us. We got to go in with the eye dropper and pick what colors we wanted and we got to make the background look super nice. I think one thing that the easy had that the others didn't was how fast it made it. Because it was made by a computer it was created in seconds while the other three took a while because you had to outline or pick the color you wanted. But I liked that we had a lot more freedom in the others than we had in the easy. I like the difference between the first two because in the poly-1 its kinda dark and not that bright. But in the poly-2 its really bright and looks a lot like her.
