Mini Concetration Series

The idea of the concentration (Inspired by the Tame Impala Album of the same name) is lonersism (Alternativly Isolationism). In my take on the topic I explore the cycle of feeling alone or isolated which is eveidnet throughout the images. In the first 4 the subject moves furthur away from both the foreground and society as a whole. The fith image; however, brings the subject closer to the foreground and is spiritually the beggening of a desiree to reintegrate into a society. The work also shows how lonerism is not simply a matter of changing one's paradigm and going back out. It is a difficult state of being which can not be easily ignored. 

illustrator Exploration: Minimalist Marco's Pizza

This completes the requirements of the project as well as pays a little homage to my place of buisness: Marco's Pizza

Design

These are the final designs from our design project. Clearly the last two are the strongest and personally the second is my favorite. 

Design 1: Attempt 1

This is rough - Mid Progress

Company Logo

Logo for the company "Jones"

Project 3 Panorama

Environmental Panorama

Urban Panorama

(This one is rather rough for credit)

3D World 

(This one will probably be redone) 

Sun print

Sun printing, although quick, was rather enjoyable. The art itself is incredibly simplistic which lends itself to shapes and interpreting meaning. 

Project 2: Ephemeral Art

Ephemeral artists use natural materials as a sort of brush and nature as their canvas. The artists use the materials as you would a drawing tool to create shapes and other structures in the real world. Natural materials are often selected based upon their color and usefullness to one project.

The process was particularly difficult because all of the supplies had to be gathered and in my case this rather limited what colors I had avaliable to work with. Once supplies were gathered however it was essentially anything I could make out of the natural materials I had collected, which allowed for an interesting take on a common symbol

PEPA

Andy Warhol 

The Emulation makes use of blocking as well as a simplified color modification in each block.

Roy Lichtenstien

Although not 100% true to Roy, this emulation coantains dark outlines as well as very limited colors.

Keith Haring

The rather simplistic image of the group, This makes use of bright yet simple colors and the simplified person. 

The tecniques are as follows: The Andy Warhol Image has the gradient as a background, The Roy Lichtenstien image makes use of a custom brush (For the line effect on the top and bottom), The Keither Haring Image makes use of a few simple custom shapes.

Project 1: Composition

Depth of field 

Framing

Unusual angle

Selective Focus

Leading Lines 

Rule of Thirds

EQ: Why are these tecniques important? Each of these tecniques aims to do at least 2 things. First they drive and controll the focal points of each image. Secondly they add intrigue to an image and give each peice of work a little more depth and interest. Each teqnique can be subtle but enhancean image or they can be obvious but still enhance the image.

HDR Practice

HDR is a painful process but the result is intriguing. I enjoy the look of the photos and hope to become much better at the process
