I am an animal

David Hockney inspired assignment #1

http://carlateneyck.com/personal/david-hockney-ophelia-critiquing-paintings.html

Description: In this photo i see a woman that is upset about something and she's thinking very deeply. The colors of the plants are bright, but the water she is lying in is a darker blue, which seems to represent her emotion.

Analysis: The color is used strongly by the artist to get his point through. The contrast between the bright and dark colors makes me think deeper about her mood. There is emphasis on her bright face in the dark water showing that she is the subject of the painting and not the plants.

Interpretation: In this photo i see a young woman who is contemplating living or dying. Taking the easy way out or fighting in the world. She is uncertain of what her next move will be so she just lies there waiting for an answer, hoping. I think the title does in fact work. it's simple and leaves room for the imagination to work.

Judgement: I think other people should see this work because it's beautiful and anybody can relate to the time they were in a hard place or just felt empty or had trouble making a choice and i believe this is what this photo represents.

This photo was edited in photoshop and i used color match to match the colors in this picture to the Ophelia painting.

Cake Day- edits (before and after)

#1 The berries and sprinkles are brighter and make the cupcake look more delicious/appealing.

#2 the pie looks like it has the spotlight and the crust and blueberries look crisp and delicious and the cream looks tempting.

#3 The cake is not so bright so you can see more details in the white of the frosting and the red looks a darker velvet red like it should.

#4 I put the picture into black and white and made the picture pop with only the brightest colors not hidden behind the black and white filter.

Weirdos and Rainbows

While painting the easter eggs my little sisters and cousins got dye all over their hand and i thought it would make a great picture and really capture the spirit of easter. Then i went into photoshop to edit this picture and by accident i edited this photo(original on top, edited on bottom) and the colors caught my eyes. This isn't a traditional photo, but it captures the spirit of the children and of easter and this is my favorite picture i've edited thus far because its weirdly beautiful!

Pretty in Pink

This is one of the eggs that my cousin colored for easter and i love this picture i took because the color really pops, you can see the texture of the water and the color really contrasts against the white letters.

Questions about logo and sketchwork

Which typographic and pictorial elements are absolutely necessary in order to communicate the business of your photo biz?
-I have to incorporate the elegance i plan to capture in my human subjects and figure out how to use the first letter in each of the names for my business logo by putting them somewhere around the elegant figure.

When the logo needs to be copied as a small, black and white image, will all elements translate well?
Is a logo mark necessary?
-Yes i do believe that it will translate very well and i also believe that a logo mark is necessary for my company. I believe a logo mark just makes the logo more appealing.

Is color necessary?
-Color is not necessary but i think it would make a black or white logo mark pop more.

If color is necessary, what colors are appropriate?
-An appropriate color really depends on the clientele that you wish to attract. Since I'm trying to get more of a formal clientele i might stick to black and white since that seems to be the color scheme most associated with class. I might even throw in a little bit of red for a more noticeable logo.

**I did not do any sketch work because i knew right off the bat what i wanted and i'm not good at drawing so i just went straight to photoshop and started on what i feel would look best for my logo.
