Advertisement


This advertisement is a well-designed, linear composition. The use of red as an ascent color makes certain important areas stand out. Also the use of the contrasting colors of black and white produce a balanced composition. They are able to display their company and the key aspects of their company with a very simple but complex design.

Mood- "awe"





We were all given words to demonstrate using photoshop, my word was awe. My first thought was of the heavens, and beautiful things in nature. I decided that I wanted to create a image using nature in a very colorful and textured way. I was trying to decide which background to choose, I ended up with the bottom image because I thought the image seemed more realistic. After learning about the filter, and ways to merge layers I will try to use the same ideas and create a more abstract pattern.

patter perception



This is my first attempt working with photoshop. I choose a Frank Gehry building, which we then had to use the building to create a form of nature using photoshop. I choose to use the reflectiveness of the building to rotate and multiply in a pattern in order to create a form of water. I feel that this was pretty successful for my first time using photoshop, however I am sure after spending more time with the different techniques I will find many ways to improve my work.
