PROJECT 3 FINAL, FINAL!!


yup.

this is the real finished product.

I made some change to angles, and added blurs to tools. I also completed the rip in the paper, and the torn part was a bit distracting. you'll see what I mean. ;)

tell me what you think!

Project 3 Final


Ok, so here is my final project 3 project. Normally I wouldn't post it before it is due but I'm really happy with the way it came out.

There are a couple things going on here. The general theme is pretty much "What is real?". We have a bunch of versions of Old College visible here, with different mediums. Old decrepit is torn away to reveal a much nicer version. An even sharper version exists on the computer screen, but also present is obvious editing as well as the computer's true nature, binary. Finally, additions by a pencil eraser and a paint brush are present. I think this came out pretty well.

Hopefully I have enough in my image this time!!!

attempt 2


so yeah I made another attempt, this one I like better, just in terms of visual appeal.

the concept of the last one was good, but lacked in layout and such.

based on critique, my images just aren't complex enough.

I'm going to put the two ideas together, I think.

And add a third idea.

We'll see what happens.

attempt 1


here's that file.

project 3 idea, crash and burn

haha well, it looks like i'm not going to be done this project early...

I mean I agree with John, the background isn't great and the image doesn't exactly strike you, but it would've been nice to be done right away.

I think i need to look at this project more in terms of a poster with a message rather than a photo. anyway, I'll be reworking this idea. ugh...and me hating drawing, it looks like I need to do another one.

I might try a screen other than the laptop, and definitely a different location.

I really need to focus on composition as well. I'm good with photoshop, and once I know what I want to do I'll be fine. It's just figuring that out that's the problem. 

well anyway, this was my first attempt at finishing this project. lol now that I look at it, I'm glad this wasn't my final. It's a cool effect, but not really what I am looking for in this assignment.

umm..the computer lab won't let me upload pictures, so i'll put it up when I get home.

part of my project idea


check out this really cool trick you can do with your camera and a laptop! (oh, and photoshop helps too!)

I'm using this concept as part of my project. I think the project is done, but i'll have to see. my project is basically this photo, only the screen is a drawing of the same background. And, in the screen, windows are open which contain the clear photo image. it's pretty cool, if I do say so myself. But here's the bare bones  version, with no analog additions. Let me know what you think!
