Point of View Shoot

Below, and the the left, are my point of view photo's.  Each picture was to be taken at an angle other than head-on.  So for the orange picture, i placed my camera onto the counter to take the photo, and the chair photo i was on the ground to get to the level of the chair. For the photo of the flower pots, i had gotten as close as i could to the first one in the photo so i couls get this kind of effect.  The pictures outside of the contact sheet are the photo's i think are the best, and personally the on to the left is my favorite.  


Some photo's (contact sheet) are in black and white because i felt they had a greater effect that way than in color.

3 Things That Don't Belong...

For this Project, we focused on using the layer mask tool.  I used the desert as my background, and then pulled my other photos onto it.  The i started to use the layer mask tool to remove the backgrounds from the penguin, sofa, and statue of liberty.  This project was not very difficult for me, mostly because i had a background in doing this from Graphics class.

Social Awareness Poster

So This is my social awareness poster, Support Local Musicians.  To make this i had used a tutorial from this site.  Before this turtorial i had tried many others before it, but none of them really fit the tone of the message i wanted to send out.  I had sketched something as if it we're a poster posted on a concert venue hallway.  I was extremely pleased with the outcome of this poster  My final of following the tutorial is below (left), and i then recreated it from scratch to create my final, above.  To follow the tutorial above, i used the following images (right-planks, and top left- band image).  I took the photo of the wooden planks and lightened them to look more natural and bright.  Then i started to create my poster... There was a lot of shading involved to make the poster look worn and torn, and to my surprise it was not very difficult at all.  I did follow the tutorial, but added my own touches with the text, and i took out some of the shading because i personally didnt like it very much.  The band in the poster is All Time Low.
