Week 15: Video Set Up

Craft: I used about seven slides to create my video. I arranged the pictures in a way so that they would concur with each other. After creating my slides I went to animation and I added the slides I wanted at the bottom. I pressed the play button to watch my video until I was satisfied I arranged it the way I wanted it to look. Than I exported and rendered my video so I could put it on my desktop and watch it in larger view.


Composition: I decided to use my friends pictures that I had on my Lab top. I arranged the pictures so that they could make somewhat sense because they were taken with a webcam. When the viewer watches the video he or she will want to re watch it so he could get a glimpse at what they had missed previously.


Concept: The concept of this assignment was to create a video or slide on a idea of our choice.

Week 16: Final Video

                                                                                      The Attack of Ninaa

                

               Craft: I used the pictures that my friend took on my webcam on my laptop. Using Photoshop I created about seven slides. Than I went to animation and added the slides that I wanted to use for my video. My video consists of parts of a face. Their are multiple eyes, mouths, you can see a double and a square face at the beginning.

                          Composition: When the viewer watches this video I think once they watch it the first time they will want to re watch it a couple more times to see something they might not have already seen the first time.  You capture something knew every time you re watch it. I think people stay focused mainly on the first picture because it has multiple eyes that are just staring at you.  

                     Concept: The concept of this assignment was to create a video based on a idea of our choice. I chose to it on my friend's pictures. This video contains weird pictures that my friend took with my laptop. I called the video The Attack of Ninaa because her big eyes are just staring at you ready to get you. Her face looks evil. She also looks like she has a double. Kinda like when your seeing things or your blind you can see double sometimes.

Week 14: Before & After Bike Lake

Before

   

After

Craft: I used Photoshop to make this two pictures. I used a couple layers to come up with something nice and simple. I used my bike brushes I had made from my previous assignment. I used the size assigned to us.

Composition: The elements that had to be used in these pictures had to be about bike that could of also consisted something about boys town, the Cubs, and soccer moms. My first picture I used a blue background like the lake, black handlebars, the black bike seats,and white dots that looked like water. For my after picture I decided to use bike wheels instead and make them white so their more noticeable and people can see them from far away. I also put the black bike seats. They look translucent. I kept the same blue background  which is my water. One thing I kept in both pictures is "Bike Lake-view" at the bottom of the pictures.

Concept: The concept of this assignment was to create a picture for a poster that represented bike. It had to be simple and straight to the point. We had to use a certain size. The picture had to target a main purpose. Mine was the bike lake-view. I wanted people to know that if they saw my after picture in the street they would know their was a lake-view nearby and it was a place were you could use your bike because of the picture.

Week 13: Bike Pictures

  

Craft: I made these pictures with my brushes of bikes that I made.I incorporated different bike parts in the pictures. Some of the parts are in the background. These two pictures are really different but they both consist of the same things. 

                                                        

Composition: In the first picture I scribbled th background with an orange. Than I pasted different bike parts. In the back I put a wheel and on the right corner I put a big wheel. The main focus is the middle part i'm not sure what it's called but it's from a child's bike. Theres also several of these parts in the back. The main colors in this picture where oranges and yellows with black. The second picture has two big pedals, three bikes, the child's bike part like the first one and it has white handle bars. The background color I chose a blue green hue. The pedal at the top has the colors blue and white which I think is more appealing than the bottom one. There are also some white wheels on the sides of the picture. I think that both pictures catch the viewers eye with the really big bike part than you start looking at what is in the background or around it.

   

Concept: The concept of these pictures is Bike. Which picture looks more bike? I think that the one on the right is more bike because the pedals are really big and you know the pedals are from a bike and it has bikes in it to.

Week 12: Bike Brushes

 

Craft: These eleven brushes are all my own brushes I created. I made these brushes by first taking pictures the parts of bikes I had at home. I uploaded the pictures I wanted and I traced the bike part using the brush tool. When I was done tracing I used the paint bucket to add black and grey and create a better looking brush. The black and grey creates a better emphasis.

Composition: I tried tracing different parts of a bike not just the same one but in a different way. I traced wheel, a whole bike, handlebars, the part where the chain is on the bike, the bike seat, other wheels, and a pedal.  I traced the pictures exactly how they were for example the bike seat has a black are on the lower right corner that is a rip that was on one of the bikes. One of the handle bars had some kind of strings to it i'm not sure what their for but I know it's an old bike.

Concept: The concept of this assignment was to create your own brushes that would be used to create pictures that will scream out "Bike" to the viewer.

Week 11: Random drawings

Craft: I did these two drawings using Photoshop's brushes to create something out of the ordinary. I made twenty different layers. On each layer I pasted the brushes over and over in different ways. Some were big some were mall. I also used the colors blue,green, white, and black in my pictures. I turned off all my layers and at the end I turned them all on to get something unusual. all the layers are on top of each other. In order to get something you like you have to move the layers up and down.

Composition: I am controlling the viewers eyes  by the way I chose to arrange the layers in the pictures. I chose a layers for the first one with something that looked like it was moving in a way it reminds me of pine trees. It has blue music notes in the background that you can only see if you look closely. There are circle little object around the sides that remind me of bubbles. You can also see theres small little green squares everywhere that look like there falling down. The picture on the right is controlling the viewers eye by the large object right in the middle which is like a flower. You can see some hearts in the back and some music notes like the first picture had but their different. What I think catches a person eyes the most about this picture is the white sparkle. They look like twinkling stars. 

Concept: The concept of this was to create different pictures using the same twenty layers. All you had to do was move the layers around. You also had to have constant colors from the same hues.

Week 9: Final Digital Pictures

    

Craft: I chose the picture to portray the escape from an ordinary radio.I made these using the brush tool and the bucket to give it color. I drew the radio 88.3 on the left and the ordinary radio on the right.

Composition: The first picture I put a body on 88.3, but it has a guitar meaning 88.3 is much more an awesome than an ordinary radio.  On the other side you can see the ordinary radio is just standing there and look pretty down and bored. On the first picture you can't really see the trail at the bottom so in the second picture I made it much darker. One thing I do wish though was that my guitar looked much better and bigger like when I first drew it.

Concept: "The Escape From Ordinary radio is  88.3". When you look at the picture the trail is going from the ordinary radio going towards 88.3. The trail is the representation of escaping from the boring ordinary radio to the cool 88.3. 88.3 is larger than the other radio and more modern. It's a better representation of what the people like and how it connects to them. Without 88.3 people wouldn't be able to express themselves because no other radio can communicate to them as well as 88.3 can.

Week 10:Teapot Drawing

 

Craft: I used the brush tool from Photoshop in different sizes. I also used the pencil for digital drawing. I drew teapots that my professor brought in and put near our working space to visually look at and draw.  

Composition: I did lines back and forth kinda like scribbling to create the image of the teapots. The point of it wasn't to exactly draw the teapot but the outline with a whole bunch of lines that went from vertical to horizontal.

Concept: These images are various teapots drawn with vertical and horizontal lines with the basic colors black and white and with th bright colors yellow and red that help see the shape of the teapots.

Week 11: Drawing and Painting

Mixed Emotions!

Living in a Bubble !

The Sky and The Wind!

Music in the Air!

Chirping Birds!

Craft: I used different type of brushes to make this. What I did was use the brushes for example of a stamp and just did it over and over on one layer. I created many layers. I put some of the layers together to create these drawings that are weird yet I thought looked nice together.

Composition: I arranged things this way because it was part of the assignment to put these layers together even though they looked weird because they together they created a much better picture. I am controlling the viewers eye because when they first look at it they might see one thing but as they keep on looking at the picture they see other things hidden in the picture. The different colors also help in controlling the viewers eye.

Concept: My first Drawing I called "Mixed Emotions" because of the different designs in it like the music notes, the numbers, the objects that seem to be falling and it looks as if it had eyes watching you. It reminds me of when I over think too much and have all these types of thing on my mind. The second drawing I called "
'Living in a Bubble" because of the shaped bubble figures behind the numbers. The third drawing I called "The Sky and The Wind" because it reminds me of when the wind is blowing in your face and of the nighttime of the summer when your watching the stars. The fourth drawing I called "Music in the Air" because music is all around us. Without music life would be boring. Music can relate to us. The fifth drawing I called "chirping Birds". I called it that because the birds look like there chirping with there mouths open. The figures in the back remind me of grass or flowers where a bird might stand.
