Transcript: The object of this project was to take photographs that represented all of the principles of design. I was partnered with another student in this project. We used various angles to create many diverse shots, and sometimes took more than 1 picture of the given principle. There are 12 pictures for the 8 principles. This project is a series of photographs meant to narrate a story. A mug had to be present in each picture. My story was about a homeless character who experiences tribulation and luckily becomes rich at the end My objective in this project was to take 3 photographs of myself. One is a close-up, one shows 3/4 of myself, and one is a full body picture. Each of them represents a different scenario. I tried to capture different characters in every picture to increase the variety These photo montages I created were meant to be as abstract and nonsensical as possible. I primarily used scanning to put magazine cutouts onto photoshop. I then edited the color of some of the pictures, but still used their original shapes. In this project, I had to photograph in the style of the famous artist Paul Strand. I applied a sepia tone to my pictures to give them the old feel of Strand's work. I also took pictures of things that are regularly overlooked but are aesthetically appealing, like Paul was fond of. I incorporated a drawing of planets onto a photograph of the sun setting on a beach. I felt that it would create a powerful visual impact, since the sun and the planets are regularly pictured together, and so is the sun and landscapes on the Earth. I used a scanner to import the pictures from a sketchbook and did not edit them beyond removing the surrounding paper. For this project, I took 2 lone photographs and made 1 montage incorporating 3 photographs. The 2 photographs are close ups of scenes in nature, while the montage is a statement about the way human quality of life has been declining. With this project, I created a montage of every letter in the alphabet, using only photographs of items in my household. Some of the shapes use implied lines and are very intricate, while some are plain and easy to decipher. I tried to use as little editing as possible. This project was an attempt to design a t-shirt for an event titled Musical Scores. I tried to create a very simplistic and cartoonish version of hands playing a piano. I chose to use cyan and orange, as they are 2 of the most vibrant colors and they bring each other out. My partner Monica Martinez and I designed a spreadsheet for a hypothetical yearbook, which demonstrated the music program at our school. A watermark of sheet music was placed under the pictures to subtly introduce the theme of music. The pictures were divided into 4 categories, and feature various instruments and events.
