Poster #3 "personal works" Wk5

This poster had a lot of direction. It follows the guidelines for a festival poster entry, although I didn't enter the poster.
The background is a simple painting print, with overlays of text. I really like the final results here, and feel that having direction really does help one produce something of higher quality.

Poster 2 Wk5

Take two on the poster. Kinda silly, but fun.

Poster1 Wk5

This is my first poster project. I am not really liking it so much, especially when I had such an interesting idea and image in my head. I wanted to add some skeletons under ground and I probably should have erased "the kiss that bites" because it blows, but....better luck next time, right. The tree was actually kinda fun, I think I might like to work on this in the future. Until then, watch out.

Visual Research Wk4




The tree of life is a universally used, spiritual symbol of life its self. It has been found in many cultures across time.
The tree is a symbol of love, wisdom,rebirth, strength, redemption, friendship, bounty and encouragement. It also represents the interconnectedness of all life on our planet.

Scratch

So these are two of the projects I worked on in lab this week. The first one feels really crazy to me, I don't much like it.
The second Image is much better, it has a more pleasant and appealing quality.
Neither one was planned, they just happened.

Personal Research Wk3


This is a photo I took through a window with the focus on the reflection.

Visual Research Wk3


In my opinion Michael Parkes creates some of the most interesting magical dreamscape paintings in the world. I love this piece.
What I see:
A juggling magician walking a tight rope while entertaining a young woman perched on a cliff. He's got his cat also walking the rope. It's a beautiful day up above the clouds in the world of dreams...the world of Michael Parkes.

Alphabet Soup Wk3

So This was pretty fun....There really are letters everywhere. Take a look.
This is of course a most wonderful way to experience the results of ,"if you change the way you look at things the things you look at change."

I used my phone camera to capture all these images/letters in nature. I found the letters P, H, B, X, U, and R.

Picturing the other Wk2

Someone Else
I took this photo from about 4ft off the ground, and included the barbed wire for the harsh quality. The light seems to be a bit off, but I like the composition otherwise.

Self
Straight forward, from above I think it makes my face look long.

A Friend

Visual Research Wk2

What do I see: Multiples of Tori Amos, A Marble Table, Red Shoes, Chairs. This Image Feels like a conversation with ones self, or maybe some type of internal battle to me.

Self Portrait #2



This is an image I created by layering four different photos.
I was trying to create a mystical or magical element.
