Rust Repulsive

I took this picture of the cover to our fire pit using the macro setting on my camera and then I got really close to emphasize the rust and dirtiness to it. It is repulsive because it is all rusty and nasty. It also has an attractive aspect to it because of the bright color of the rust. I used the gaussian blur to make the colors pop out more.

Leaves Repulsive

I took this picture of leaves that were down in a window well because it looked dirty so it gave the repulsive aspect but the different colors of the leaves also made it attractive. I used a blur overlay to make the colors of the leaves more prominent and i used the burn tool on a lot of it to make it dark and more repulsive looking.

Moss Attractive

I took a picture of the moss that was popping out between the bricks on my porch using the macro setting on my camera. I took it because the green looked bright against the brick so it was attractive, but yet it was repulsive because moss is gross. I used a blur overlay on this photo to make the moss brighter.

Oil Spill Attractive

For this photo, I took a picture of oil that was spilled on the ground and it had created colors on the ground. I chose this because I thought the colors looked good. Initially the picture was very light and it was hard to see the colors so i used blur overlay to make the colors more intense and noticable. I also used the burn tool to darken up the right side of the photo because it was very light compared to the other side. I think the colors make it attractive but it is also repulsive because oil is gross and I darkened it up to make it more repulsive.

Go Green Montage

My theme for this montage was go green and being environmentally friendly. I made my background bright with blues and greens to show nature's beauty and how important it is to preserve it. I took a picture of the solar panel at Brennan's to show how solar energy helps the environment. My recycling bin represents my theme because by recycling, we can keep more things out of dumps. The aluminum water bottles are Eco friendly because they reduce the use of plastic water bottles. I gave my environmentally friendly light bulb a neon glow as well to highlight it. I also took a picture of a reusable grocery bag because they reduce the use of plastic and paper bags.

Anger/Depression Montage

For this montage I tried to go for the idea that anger causes sadness and depression. I used the fallen down tree to symbolize that anger will cause destruction. The gate is a symbol of how anger can restrain you from doing the things that you want to do. Also in a more literal sense, anger can lead to making bad choices which can lead to jail so the gate can represent that as well. The grave represents how death can make people feel depressed and even angry at times. The broken pencil represents how a person can feel broken and worn down by anger and depression. I have a picture of Sarah looking down to make it seem as though she is depressed and worn down from her emotions. I used a photo of Breanna screaming to imply that she is angry. I took a picture of water drops on a car window for my background and it shows sadness and crying. Overall, I made the picture feel sad and angry by making the colors dull and dark.

Easy Blur

I chose this image because I thought it would look like a creepy dream since it already looked kind of dirty and run down. The blur helps soften it up and make it look like something out of a dream.

Neon Glow

I chose this photo and put a blue neon glow on it because I thought the blue glow would look good against the whiteness of the picture.

Background Filter

I chose this photo to filter the background because I thought it would look cool to isolate sarahs body and make the background out of focus so it looks like she was moving.

Blur Overlay

I chose this picture for the blur overlay affect because I thought it would look cool with abit of a blur since it is already creepy looking.

Day to Night

For my day and night photo I took a picture of Pine Terrace and I tried to get some of the trees in the picture to give it a more creepy look. I adjusted the hue, saturation, and other settings to darken it up as well.

iPod Ad

I took a picture of Sarah for my ipod ad and I had her jump with her hands open so that I could place an ipod in her hand. I could not get a good picture of her in the air like I had wanted, however, I got a good one as she was about to jump.

Alphabet

Space

I chose to use an open field as my background because the open area would be perfect for creating space between my objects. I used the road to try and show the distance and space between the objects up front and the objects in the back. The road was also my object of choice. The white house and the outhouse were used as my geometric objects and i made them small to make them appear further away. I used the flowers as my radial object and I made one larger to make it look up close in the camera. The basket, bench, and the plane are my negative space objects. I also used the bird and the small bush as my organic objects. The old car is my retro object and I think that overall, the scene has a whimsical feel to it.
