Triptych Assignment

For my Triptych assignment i chose to use a picture of a wall, ceiling ventilation system, and a picture of a sweater. I chose these three different objects because they each had a unique texture that could be portrayed more vibrantly if i played around with the filter settings.

Pig Art

For my pig art assignment, i used a fairly chubby pigs head in place of Will's head in the picture. I added glasses and a hat to the pig to make him seam cool! I also added a word bubble containing the word 'sup' with a question mark over his head.I used 'sup' because in our society it is considered slang, and therefore in most cases is considered cool. For a title i used, "Its a pig thing", implying that the pig possesses a unique style of his own, only known to him. I'm pleased with this picture because it looks good and attracts the eye :).

CD Cover

           For the CD cover assignment i decided to use DJ Tiesto as my artist. I decided to use Tiesto because his music is crazy and hes creates new electronic music that directly reflects the era we leave in. found the Tiesto logo and placed it inside of a vinyl record i found online. I picked out what i thought was the best font for this piece of work and i think that both fonts compliment eachother because they are different. For the back ground i went online to find a nice setting that i thought would portray "New Life on Ibizia". I chose th background because Ibizia is a warm island thats know for its parties and nice weather, and the picture definatly shows that the weathers nice, and the record shows its a party!! If i were to do something different next time, i would probably use an actual picture of Tiesto!

Multi-cult

Early last week we were asked to complete a poster for the Guelph Multi-cultural festival. Through trial and tribulation i came to this idea. I wanted my poster to attract as many people as possible so i filled it with vibrant 'squiggles' of colour. I wanted my poster to show that when different colours are together it looks good (relate that to people). I'm glad i used the big letter G to start of Guelph because it looks good and flows with the picture. I'm happy it doesn't stand out too much.

Poetry Assignment write up

For my poetry assignment i decided to use the football staduim tunnel as my background because its where i like to express myself and make my poetry, although it isn't actuallty poetry. The point of my picture is to emphasis the word 'My'. I chose to put 'My World' on the floor with an arrow to show that my particular world was this way. For someone else their world could be a totally different setting. I decided i was going to change the image to black and white because i didn't want the viewer to be distracted away from the writing. I was going to make every 'my' red so that it would attract the viewers eye. If i were to change one thing i would likely change the font of title.

Vote Thing

Last week we were assigned to make posters that encouraged students to take part in the student vote. I wanted to create a poster that was pretty simple and straight forward, but also delivered a strong message. I chose to use the fall coloured leaves in unison because they literally showed change. I decided to use the words, "See Change Vote" because the words and the picture portray the same message! I also decided to use the red V at the beginning of vote because it created a focal point for the photo. In general I am pleased with my work, but i think next time i might put in a colour back ground or make the whole word 'vote' red and not just the V. See ya..............#13

Portrait Analysis

I chose to use that particular picture of Will because i wanted to show how football isn't all about being big, mean, and intimidating. The picture shows that football is just a game and its meant to be played for fun. In the colour photo of Will, i decided to use those colours because there very different, and i think they complement eachother.

Digital Landscape

My digital landscape shows a grey cityscape that features Ed Reed (#20), Micheal Vick (#7), Ray Lewis (#52), and Justin Blalock (#63). I changed the Hue/Saturation of the both the sky and the City. I think that by using this effect it gave my picture a kind of  gloomy effect. Also by keeping the color of the players normal it provided multiple focal points. Overall I'm satisfied with this picture, but next time I'd probably spend more time adding different art components in.

The arrival

I'm extremely excited to be in this class! Chemistry felt so suffocating and i only went to one class... The classroom  is nice and quiet so far, and I feel I can work in here. I'm not the best with computers but I still feel like i can make some pretty sick pictures. That's pretty much it ahah.
