Week 2

Assignment: 25 New Era pictures; 25 Old Era pictures (Abraham Lincoln or Lincoln Era)

Craft: Well figuring out which old era pictures was easy and difficult. Seeing that we didn't know exactly what we were doing with these pictures we just had to look up on the internet 25 images that were real pictures and that caught our eye. The same went for the new era pictures, we didn't have much to go of

f of except for a concept except for the pictures to modern technology things in the pictures. This led us to believe that we would be doing some sort of contrast of the new and old pictures. Basically, for the new era picture

s I took pictures that I thought I might be able to mix old pictures with.

Composition: 

For this section we were suppose to pick our two favorite pictures one from each era. Well I decided to choose my new era picture to be one of me and my good friend Andrea before we went out. The reason I liked this picture so much is it just puts a smile on my face when I look at it and just reminds me of a good time. Other then my face being really red I think it is a good quality picture of us. 

As for the old era picture I choose one of a general from the civil war. The reason I choose this picture because I like how serious this man looks, he looks like he is ready for war. Then again 

his uniform is so cleaned pressed and organized. It gives you this signal of a very serious man, where as when you look at his face you get this mean serious look and and he is dressed for business. Also, there is nothing else in this picture. It is just this man and the background behind him is plain so it makes you just stare at him trying to figure out what he is trying to do or say. I think this picture will be fun to mess around with and maybe put into a new era picture.

Concept:

The two I decided two mix might change but I have decided to either mix the one of the general from above and one of my roommate/fellow classmate ( Zach ). I feel mixing those two would be kind of interesting to bring that serious of a man and in uniform and put him in an area where he would look totally out of place. I have also contemplated mixing the one of abraham lincoln and the one of myself and Andrea. I thought it would be interesting to see how realistic I could make a picture work with abe's face on mine. Those are two ideas I am still playing with and I might attempt both and see which one I like better.

Week 1

Craft: Found a picture of myself, Copied the picture to my desktop, Then logged into Blogger.com, Setup my page, and finally clicked the "add picture" and added the picture I wanted.

Composition: It was the layout that caught my eye out of all the other ones. I like how it has multiple colors and it could easily be switched to colors I like. The reason I choose this picture is it reminds me of a funny time with a good friend. It also is of good quality, both of our eyes are open, and we are both smiling nice.

Concept: The think that makes me good is I feel I am creative, athletic,very determined, hard working, and a good hearted person.  I think is a very good combination and rare which makes me different which is something very special/good in my eyes.
