For this project, I tried to really embrace the theme that I thought of during my brainstorming of glitching woodland creatures out in the forest. It was somewhat tricky to find AI images at times that matched this theme because I wanted the different types of animals to be very clear. Often, a lot of the images that AI created somewhat made up animals that only looked similar to real animals. These AI images were interesting and I definitely kept the ones that I found to be cute and/or interesting but mainly just kept creating images until more realistic animals appeared. I would type in ideas such as “raccoon having tea in the woods” and/or “woodland creatures having a dinner party” and found adorable images that went along with my theme. I chose to glitch the images using the manual photoshop technique. I thoroughly enjoyed using this technique as it gave me a bit more control on just what kind of glitches I would create. This made it easier to create a more cohesive collection of glitches rather than try other, unpredictable glitch methods that may look nothing alike. I really started to enjoy the contrast between the naturalism of the AI images versus the non-local colors and tech-like appearance of the glitch edits. I think it made somewhat of a surreal affect where you can see the animals and yet it still looks very colorful and wonky, almost like an image out of a dream. Overall, I really enjoyed this project and creating the glitches. There were times when I would become frustrated but trying again always proved to be worth it and I was very pleased with my end results.
