due may 10th HW ASSIGNMENT

"DAVE HILL PHOTOGRAPHY LOOK"

BEFORE*

AFTER*


In this photo assignment, I chose to use the Dave Hill look. With the "Dave Hill" look it is obvious that you are sharpening the image and making little details matter more than before. I appreciate the "Dave Hill" look, especially with this image, because it shows the detail of the belt more than the original image. This is a good concept and I would use it again on my photography.

THird set of my final

my second set of equivalence photos :)

New equivalence set

My idea for the next equivalent set is to photograph a bunch of colorful flowers. For a second photo to be equivalent to it, I want to capture a bunch of colorful balloons. The focus will be the same, and will be edited equivalently.

For the last set, I will capture a picture of my claddagh ring, which means something to me, and a picture of my watch. They are both silver and have a similiar texture to them. The significance is that the watch can relate to a claddagh ring because a claddagh ring represents love(the heart), loyalty(the crown), and friendship(the hands around the heart). They might be in black in white, depending on how the images come out, they may look better in black and white to give it more of a suddle look, rather than vibrant.

These images are equivalent. The first image is a row of free weights, the second a tire. The texture of both subjects are similar yet totally different. These are equivalent because of the color, they both are based on dark colors, mostly black.

These photos are equivalent. The clock and keyboard both have a vintage look to them. The focus on both are similar, as a big aperture was used. The colors mesh well together even though the subjects are completely different. Time and music can relate, there is never time where us, as humans, want to be caught dead without a tune lingering in our ears.

from ^ : http://www.photochopz.com/forum/tutorialpics/eyecolor/eye.jpg


These two photos are equivalent. The subjects are the earth in the top picture, and an eye in the bottom picture. These photos are equivalent because they both are very important and something that every human comes in contact with daily. The eye is something precious, as is the Earth. The textures of the two photographs are both "smooth." We need to protect the Earth as we do our eyes.

Copy Paper Emulation Ad --FINAL!

Due 3/8/10 TYPE AD #3

1. The pretty car is advertised here. This is a photograph of the car, although it may be film due to the grainy quality.

2. I will use the word "sporty" in the second line for this assignment.
1)serif- the serif is sans serif
2)weight- the weight is extra bold
3)contrast- the contrast is low contrast
4)x-height- the x-height is tall

3. Personally, I do not think the treatment of the text is effective. When I look at a car advertisement, I want to see something interesting, not just plain and straight, that only catches the eye because it is size 60 pt. However, I think that this reflects the ad simply because this car is a much older car, and maybe "type" was not so interesting at all back then. The car catches the eye first, that's for sure, and maybe that is why the text is so plain, so that you pay most attention to the car!

Due 3/8/10 TYPE Ad #2

1. This ad is trying to sell Perfume. This appears to be a photo of the woman but the background is definitely fake, probably a green screen.

2. Enlarge photo for text... Using the word "forming" in the second line.
1) Weight- The weight is between normal and bold in this ad.
2) Contrast- The contrast is medium to high contrast.
3) X-height- The x-height is extra short.
4) Width- The width is normal

3. I think the treatment of the text is effective. I enjoy, as many viewers would, the cool looking text and the original font. The text makes the ad seem more high quality, and enhances the look of the perfume because it shows it might possibly be more "original" and "elegant." The ad's intention is to sell this perfume, and the type does reflect the ad's intention because it is original, which is what all perfume companies want their scents to smell like!

Due 3/8/10 Type Ad #1

1. American Eagle clothing is advertised here in this photo with 9 different pieces of apparel shown. This is a photograph of the apparel in the advertisement.

2. I will be using the top right corner text ("you break it, you buy it") for the questions.
1) Serif- The text I am using is concave.
2) Weight- The weight of the text is extra bold.
3) X-height- the x-height is extra tall.

3. I think the treatment of the text is very effective. All of these shirts have some sort of playful-ness to them and the extra boldness and extra tall x-height keep the letters organized and fun. This reflects the ad's intention because it is different, not just your ordinary "Arial" font that is straight and light weight.

Three Advertisements

1. This ad, by Urban Outfitters clothing has the goal of selling high fashion clothing. It appears to be the same model in all 8 photos, just in different fashionable outfits.

2. The targeted audience is probably girls from the ages of 16-early 20's. Since the targeted audience is so young, this clothing catch's eyes and is popular. It is creative to put together outfits such as these.

3. This ad can be persuasive because it shows not only one stylish outfit, but several. The variety of colors shows that the outfits can be mismatched with each other and still look good. Girls into fashion would admire this ad because it is stylish and up to date with todays fashion!

1.This advertisement is trying to sell jewelry for Valentine's Day. I believe the targeted audience would be men, as the jewelry seems to be only for women.

2.The age range could be very wide for the advertisement, as it is showing a big sale, so a younger male might be able to now afford an expensive pendant or ring for his college sweetheart! There is a photo of what looks like a young couple in the photo, so it may be directed towards young men looking to buy something for his girl, but how many pictures could they fit on here?, I'm sure that this jeweler is trying to target all men, of all ages, to buy their pieces! The marital status for the targeting audience would be a man who is in a relationship, as these pieces are specials for Valentine's Day, which we all know is about love. This jewelry is expensive, but has somewhat of a sale, so it is targeted towards men who are looking to spend money for a loved one, but not SO much that they become in debt!

3.This ad is persuasive because it has many beautiful pieces, especially the diamonds, that target the eyes of all audiences, men and women, children, and teens too. The colors are nice and go along with the theme of Valentine's Day. It is persuasive because it is showing a sale, and some of their best jewelry for the special day!

1.The goal of this ad is for Burberry to sell cologne, for men. I would suggest that the targeted audience is men. There is a slight possibility this could be targeted towards women as well, due to the good looking young men, and could be recommending a cologne to buy for her "man."

2.The age to target is most likely around late 20's or even 30's, shown by the young men advertising the product. The guys in the picture look sophisticated and could possibly be in a band, but dressed nicely, maybe showing that the cologne is a fresh and a sense-catching smell. As it can be a steryo-type that guys in bands are usually single and like to flirt just for attention to himself and the band, this may be targeted to men looking for attention and to get girls attracted to them.

3.This advertisement is persuasive because it has attractive men and although a lot of men might not think of that, the photo itself is "cool" and in style for todays clothing and hair style as well. Women can be attracted into buying this product because of the men on the advertisement and a woman might think of her man as someone who dresses or may acts like these advertisers appear to.

Emulation final pictures

Self Criticism

1. Formal Critique- I believe that my photo is well balanced and although the point of focus is Jimmy, I think it is hard to say that you get distracted by everything being in one corner or section of the photo. I used a photo filter which I felt was necessary with the Autumn background. I am happy with my result as I randomly thought of using a mirror for my "frame within a frame." It looks as if I used a smaller aperture(maybe F11 or so), not small enough where everything is in focus but large enough where I have the main subject and quite a bit around him in focus. As you heard in class, many people thought I took this out of a barn, which I liked hearing, only because I hadn't thought of that one bit! I enjoy how I edited this photo so that everything around the mirror is quite dark and everything in the mirror is very noticeable. My shutter speed was not extremely fast, because the leaf blower was not on while I captured this image, it was staged. This photo was obviously taken quite a few months ago and I do not exactly remember every setting I used, but it was day and I used natural sunlight, so I am assuming that my ISO setting was low, probably 400.

2. I do not have a specific meaning for this photo. As mentioned in the above paragraph, I thought of this idea out of the blue. My boyfriend, Jimmy, often does yard work though so this could represent him in a way. I thought that this photo is very original and that I would be the only one in Digital Photo to have this "frame within a frame" project. We used the gloves as one of the props to give it a "yard work" feel. I like mirror images when it comes to photography and I appreciate all artists who use mirrors for extravagant creativity :-)

3. I believe I did many things very well, not so sound self centered. I am confident with my photos. I especially enjoy the coloring and editing I did in this photo. I believe that it was creative and cool how I used a mirror, as it obviously turned out to be a mystery as to where I was taking this photo from(barn, etc).

Next time, I may use my tripod, which I LOVE, but do not remember why I didn't use it for this project, it would have made a more straight picture. Next time I might use a bit more vig-netting as well, so that Jimmy is more of the main focus rather than the whole mirror itself.
