week 10

Assignment: Add color to the story by multiplying the colors to make things stand out. There should be 9-12 pictures that include this.

Craft: The first thing i did was put the photo in black and white and made sure that the image was flattened. Then i added 2 more new layers so that I could add color to the pictures and make the characters stand out. I chose different blues and greens to add to my characters so they didn't blend in with the background.

Composition: I used many different shades of colors to see which combination I liked that best. I realized I am going to use a combination of red and blue. The red will be the color of Jake's shoes and the blue will be the characters. This will help the reader get a clear idea of what is happening. I need to change some things in my story to make it better and be more consistent with my colors throughout my story.

Concept: I need to add a bubble to one of the pictures where my aunts on the phone to explain why shes making a face talking to someone. I also need to change some of the colors on the photos and be consistent with them.

week 9

Assignment: Print 10-12 pictures describing your story and if needed photo shop them and mash them up together. The pictures that are printed should tell the story with details.

Craft: For my pictures, i had to use a lot of photo shop. I had to crop many different pictures and mash them up together. I had to do a lot of work to make the story stand out and have the meaning come across to the reader. I have to add more detail to the pictures to help the viewers understand what exactly is going on.

Composition: The composition of my story is not that clear still. I need to add more detail and draw more attention to what the meaning really is. I need to take better pictures of Jake getting his shoes and him playing basketball.

Concept: The concept of my story is still the same as before, just needed to add more detail so that the reader is clear of what is going on.

week 8

Assignment: sketch the story that we created in 9-12 boxes. After that we had to take pictures of the story and put it together.

Craft: I went to my aunts house and took many pictures of her and my little cousin who were going to be in the story i created. I had them act out what they were going to be doing and took many different snap shots of them. I had to adjust my story and figure out the real message which took me awhile to do.

Composition: I am going to change my story so that it makes more sense and add more details to describe what is going on. I need to take different pictures so that the meaning really stands out.

Concept: The concept of my story is that Jake needs get his shoes in time for his game and his mother goes through a lot of trouble to finally get them.

Favorite picture :

I think this is a very interesting picture of Lincoln because of his weird appearance. This photo stood out to me the most because of how unique Lincoln looks.

Least favorite picture:

This picture is my least favorite of them all because it looked like it was made out of beans or rocks of some sort. I just didnt like how it looked and how it was setup.
