Kaleidoscope

Fot this assignment we had to take a picture and adjust it so that it looked like you were viewing it through a Kaleidoscope. I approached this assignment by picking out a picture I had taken and cropping it into a 5x5 square. I then cut the square in half diagonally and rotated/ copied it to fill the canvas. I was inspired by my classmates work. I would not do anything differently. 

Midterm

For this assignment we had to take 24-30 images and turn them into a collage along with several original images. I approached this assignment by picking a theme -- NYC. I then found pictures on the internet and added filters and effects to make them blend in a random, fun way. I was inspired by the many billboards in Time Square. If I could do anything differently I would have more images in the assignment.

9x Project

For this project I had to do the same thing as the 4 Square Project except have 9 pictures of myself and add a frame. I took the picture with the webcam on my computer and then changed the photo background using Photoshop. I was inspired by my previous work. I approached this by picking a color theme and using filters that would agree with my theme. I would not do anything differently. 

Taaz

For this assignment we had to go to a photo-editing site, edit a photo, and then write a review of the site. I went to Taaz.com, a free website that lets you put makeup on models or on pictures you upload. Its cool because it makes it easy to edit peoples faces. It is a lot more basic than photoshop because with photoshop you can to anything, unlike on Taaz.com where you can only do hair and makeup. I think the target audience is teenage girls because they are the ones who follow celebrity trends and experiment with makeup. If you want to test it out the link is http://www.taaz.com/.

4 Square Filter Project

For this assignment we had to take an image, copy it four times and apply different filters to them. I approached this project at random by selecting different filters and just experimenting with their combined effects. I was inspired by the examples. If I could do anything differently I would combine more filters and have a theme.

Visual Puns

For this assignment we had to take four oxymorons and turn them into visual puns. I approached this assignment by picking four oxymorons and and picturing them as two things combined instead of one normal thing. I then found pictures on google and tweaked them a little to make everything fit. I was inspired by examples from previous students. I would not do anything differently.

Abstracts

For tis assignment we had to create to abstract works based on the works of Marla, an abstract 4 year old artist. I approached this assignment with no plan. I just threw in random colors that seemed right. I was inspired by Marla's paintings. I would not do anything differently.

Firework

For this assignment we had to take an image and place it with text. I choose the song "Firework" by Katy Perry and attached it to fireworks. I approached this project by changing the filter on the image and then dividing the lyrics so that each part of the song could be a different firework. I was inspired by the music video to this song. If I were to do this again I would have made the text more round.
