4th Original Photo: Isolation (Lonely Car)

Isolation I decided to take this photo because I knew I wanted to use objects around my home. I intended on focusing on the little VW's and then putting one of them "out of the circle" to emphasize loneliness. I forgot I had an old Barbie VW and thought that would be even better. Again, I associate the word Isolation with lonely....

2nd Original Photo: Texture (Wicker)

Texture When I heard the word texture, I instantly thought of all the different knick knacks that my mom has bought to decorate our apartment with. We've had a set of these wicker balls from Pier 1 for some time now and I was just staring at the detail (similar to a rubber band ball) and how each piece of wicker was woven around.

Visual Review 1: Mac 'n' Cheese

Mac 'n' Cheese from Mac 'N' Cheese on Vimeo. In Mac 'n' Cheese, we are taken though this "trippy" journey as one man tries to outrun their opponent. Basically these two guys "stop at nothing [to]...wear each other out and rip through boundaries hitherto unbroken" (Vimeo). The characters and scenery throughout the short are in 3D. The images aren't flat and for me it brings back memories of Pixar films. 3D being a characteristic usually associated with the film company. The animation isn't your typical Pixar 3D movie because...

Class 1 Assignment

10 images representing 10 different words. Power I chose this picture because its something that I believe represents power and because this wouldn't be the first thing people associate with the word. Yoga is very soothing and healthy for the body but it takes a lot of inner strength, power to be able to move your body a certain way. Photo By: Josh Maready Repulsive  The title of this photo is Attractive Repulsive and that's...
