Spring 2

Statement - During this short week, I found it difficult to get the contrasting colors in the photographs because of the clouds in the sky. There was not as much bright light to work with and therefore made it much more difficult. In the future, I hope for more sun so that the contrast can come out better.

Black and White Draft 1

Statement - This week I was only in class on Thursday. Because of this, I was only able to collect seven quality photographs. So far I think that this draft has proved to be really interesting and I think that I have started to be able to find which buildings will work for this project.

Editing Draft 1

Statement: For the first time this year I found a project where I struggled to be inspired, I just struggled to be interesting in creating a book cover. I have found out that I like photographs that are simple. Not much editing, just maybe black and white and a few touch-ups. I tried to focus on that when creating these designs but I did struggle to get inspired or interested in any of the designs that I did.

Draft #Best Of

Statement: During the course of this draft I found that I enjoyed the photographs I found that the pictures that were flat were extremely boring. For that reason, I choose to find barks of trees that were more interesting and had more depth.

Draft #5

For this post, I tried to refine my picture taking skills. I found that I enjoy the barks that have depth. However, this week I struggled with getting enough pictures that were in focus. I am overall happy with this draft. However, I would have liked to have more diversity.

Draft #4

Statement: This week I attempted two techniques. The first was where I tried to create a more mystical look with a lot more depth. The second was a more flat look where the majority of the picture was in focus. I found that I like the mysterious one better because of the style.
