Keely - Project Post

Dear Ms. G (:

You told me to post this as a reminder for you.

This is the first shoot I am doing. The reflections are going to be how the person really sees themselves. I will be incorporating mirrors and transparencies. 

My non-traditional display that I will be working on for awhile is:

The text will be the people's fears, worries, woes, etc.

Wootwoot!! :)

You guys should keep doing sketchbooks because they make you look more creative if your majoring in ANY type of art! Also if you take an art class you'll have to do one. Just saying :)

Ian's Extra Eredit

Thank you soo very much Mrs. Gingerich for giving me the chance to raise my grade. From top to bottom: fill-a-photo, texture maping, cross process, and sketch. I also did a comic book effect but it was too bit to upload. So ya thanks again G you are very nice for letting me do this, your the best. Sorry for all the complications i give you.

Ian's Choice- Dogs

This project was really fun to shoot because my dogs are awesome. in this shoot I tried to show the bond and love between owner and dog, the reason why dogs are a man's best friend. I used the rule of thirds on my dogs to give them more depth. Also I used the curves layer and adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the colors more vibrant. My editing helped out the composition of each photograph.

Ian's Choice- the chi

For this project I used some of the pictures I took on the Chicago Field Trip. I used the effect of gritty overprocesed. While shooting i used either the rule of thirds  or even balance to give the picture a better composition. In this shoot i tried to make the city look dirty. So Basically my Grunge City project was just a step up from this project for making the city look dirty, grungy. Thanks for reading.

Ian's Final

(the rest of the pictures will be uploaded in class)

< i don't know why this one is lop-sided...

For this shoot i used multipule points of view so you either feel like she is powerful, on your level, or smaller. The main edit that I used for this series was the curves layer so that it would put emphasis on the colors to make my model stand out. Also I liked to change her eye color throughout the pictures by using a new layer and I would color overlay different colors over her eyes, like light brown, blue, and green. Lastly for this shoot I made sure to keep in mind the rule of thirds to also show the beauty of the scene.
