                                                    Materials: I used photoshop once again with this piece. The subject is a boxer. Processes: I took the subject and after experimenting with a type of tunnel idea, decided to do a simpler idea. I took out the rest of his body and just used his bust and made multiple layers getting bigger and smaller by adjusting the scale and setting a gradient map. I then used the brush tool to create manual outlines. Ideas: The main idea of this piece is that most of the things athletes do are unfairly blown up and judged to where the story of what they did can be far from what actually happened. 

Materials: I used Photoshop with the whole piece Processes: I took the subject, isolated him from the background, then inserted a threshold filter on to the subject. I then added the dissolve filter to the background and added lines in the to left ands the bottom right.  Ideas: The dissolved background is meant to isolate the subject as all the lines go behind the subject one which cover his eyes. The line in front of the eye symbolizes how athletes don't play sports to be famous or well known but instead for love of the game.
