Week 3 Weekly summary

This week was pretty easy regarding the daily creates. Only thing that gave me some trouble was the photoblitz challenge, some of the photo prompts were not common and I had to put extra thought into it to fulfill what the prompt is asking.

The weekly assignments were pretty easy to create, and I enjoyed creating them.

Week 3 assignment

This tattoo inspired by The Dark Knight Rises represents how batman fights for the right thing from the shadows and no matter how many times he fails he gets up and try’s and try’s until he succeeds and overcomes whatever he is fighting for. It also serves as a constant reminder that no matter how far deep you think you are to get up and overcomes any and all obstacles thrown at you

PhotoBlitz

I tried my best to find the pictures to match the prompts given but I realized that there was no way for me to get my hands on a printed newspaper. I used some small albums cover canvas I have hanging in my room and used 0.5 on the iPhone camera to make it appear larger than what it really is. For the number prompt I used an autograph jersey I have in my room because it is my favorite number. The shadow was interesting because even though in standing directly in front of the light source only my legs appear with no upper body. And the solid color I just used the first bright color thing I could find

Design reflection

After watching the videos and reading the articles a thing that stuck out to me is that when creating anything it takes a while to get the idea to translate to the project. It begins as a general concept and oftentimes the creators have a general idea of how they want to go about it based on things they’ve seen that they liked. This inspiration can be found in many things, sometimes it is related to what the creator is trying to create and other times it can be completely different. Also color and colors schemes play a huge factor when creating, color is one of the first things the eyes recognize. Bright colors catch the eyes quicker than duller colors, but too many colors can also negatively affect the project by seeming as if there is too much going on.
