On October 19, I was attending the Adobe Max “Sneaks with Kevin Hart”. Max Sneaks was where adobe engineers were giving us that first look at the potential future technologies which could make it in their upcoming Adobe products. Seeing that Kevin Hart was taking part in being a co-host with the main host named Bria Alexander for this networking event. I was super excited to see him, especially since I was such a huge fan of Kevin Hart. Bria was mentioning how she was feeling pretty nervous because it was her first time hosting this session. She started off by explaining Adobe Sneaks and what it was. Adobe Sneaks was their annual spotlight on their researchers and engineers as they are offering sneak peeks into their technologies. She told us that we were stepping into the Adobe Sneaks Multiverse and that we should think of this like Spiderman in the Spiderverse. She said that we are going to do a little reality check while we were traveling through the many different dimensions to check out the sneaks. She told Kevin that these aren’t just any realities and that it is a reality where you will have a completely different life. For the first multiverse, It was this 8 bits video game theme. Bria had given Kevin a little gift which was a flask that looks like a gaming cartridge to enjoy his Gran Coramino which was tequila he made. So Bria started the conversation with a question that was “How many of you in the audience have used photoshop for compositing ?” everyone in the audience responded by starting to cheer.
Bria & Kevin
She introduced Zhifei Zhang who was one of the Adobe engineers. He was introducing a project which was calledĀ #CleverComposites. He started to show a demonstration of how this project works. He used a picture of a scenic highway along with some mountains that didn’t have any cars. So he started searching for cars which gave him few options.Ā However, it didn’t give him a suitable one that had the right viewpoint and style because the search engine doesn’t have an idea of what the background will be for the car. But with Clever Composites, he was able to specify the location and search for cars. CleverĀ Composites will analyze the background geometry and give you the right cars that can align with the road. He then copies the image he wants to use and then paste it onto the picture. He mentions how its doesn’t look realistic at all and how it’s time-consuming and tedious to make this composite looks realistic. With Clever Composites, you could make it more realistic with their Auto Compose which it could be done in just a few seconds. Honestly, this project would make it so much easier to be used than using photoshop cause to me I always struggle with photoshop.
One of Gordon Park’s work which is one of the spread from one of his first series article on crime called “The Atmosphere of Crime”. It was first published on September 9, 1957.Ā Life magazine asked Parks to illustrate a serious of articles on the crimes that was happen in the US during 1957. He already a staff photographer for over a decade and was the first African American who was able to hold that kind of position. Life Magazine Editor not one want to examine the rising rate of the criminal but the lack of response to such criminal activities. Gordon started to plan a six weeks journey where him and the reporter were on the street of New York , Chicago ,San Francisco and also Los Angeles. Unlike his works, all of his images would be made in color. The Atmosphere of Crime wasn’t just known to be an eight pages photo essay and having its bold aesthetic , it was known for how it was challenging stereotyping toward criminality and it was spreading widely through the mainstream media.Ā
On September 29th, I attended my very first networking event which was the āMeet The Prosā the special guest was Alitha Martinez who is an Eisner award-winning artist of āBlack Pantherā and sheās a current artist for the DC comic āNubiaā.Ā This event caught my full attention considering that another comic book artist was coming to our campus. The event was open to all City Tech students, along with faculty and alumni. It was a Q&A event where the interviewer who was one of the COMD professors was asking a bunch of questions asking Alitha about her career and how she started as a comic book artist. She brought up some interesting answers. One of the things that she mention was how she grew up in Florida where her parents didn’t believe in her and they would expect her to pursue more into a nursing or doctor career. Hearing what she had to go through as a comic artist made me relate so much considering coming from a Filipino family where everyone is going toward a nursing or doctor career. She even mentions how there aren’t many females who are working in the comic book industry considering the comic book was made for males. She even gives tips and tricks on how to improve your art style and how you could save a lot of time when it comes to drawing backgrounds. Honestly, I did enjoy the interactions she had with the students and the professors. It feels like we just having a normal conversation. It was very inspiring for me, especially for someone who doesnāt have any drawing skills.Ā
