Midterm

Our midterm was to create a food marketing picture for Charlottesville. My concept was to create a literal corner to represent the corner/downtown. I then filled this corner with my favorite restaurants that are on the corner and downtown. I tried to get the brick texture that I used to look like the brick on the downtown mall. I really tried to make it look as realistic as possible and had to use the warp tool a lot. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Utensils, Numbers, and Tools Project

In this project we were assigned to take many pictures of tools, utensils, or numbers and pick our top 10 to show. I took these photos in school. I challenged myself to take them in only one hall (the hall outside of the classroom). I enjoyed this project because it shows how you can turn simple things into art by just changing the perspective. I found that adding blur to many of these images changed them greatly. 

Five Minute Walk

We were assigned to go on a five minute (or so) walk around some place new and take as many photos as we wanted. Then we had to arrange our favorite pictures in a collage. I did my five minute walk on my vacation in the US Virgin Islands. More specifically  I did it at the Baths at Virgin Gorda. This national park is beautiful. I edited each of these photos in some way, whether it was just tweaking the lighting, saturation, levels or making it black and white. I really enjoyed this project because it brings back memories of my vacation. I used my Iphone 5 camera for the photos.
