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.
