For my final project, I want to utilize Creative Commons and remixing as a part of my project. I would preferably like to do this within photoshop and not Adobe Premier. As much as I enjoyed learning Adobe Premier, Audacity, and Twine, I’m not as familiar with photoshop and would like to use this as a jumpstart to learning the program.

For the base of my project, I want to find Creative Commons photos from the 50s, or any other older decade, and remix the image to convey a different idea than what is being portrayed. I would like to utilize modern technology and work it into the photo as to how they would use the technology then. I think this would be a good way to show how far we’ve come with our technology and how our ideals now are so different than what they were 50 years ago. For example, one idea I had was using something like a selfie stick and incorporating it into a photo from the 40s or 50s and show how vain, in a sense, our society has become in the past few decades and how much importance we put on what our self worth is. It would also be interesting to give an insight on what people in the past would think about the technology we have now and what they would first thing it was used for.

Overall, I really want to use the remixing that we did with the first project. I enjoyed that project the most out of the three and like the idea of taken a piece of media and changing the meaning behind it and turning it into something new. I think using photoshop to do this can be a very effective part in the meaning of the photo.
