Story with a photo

I took a photo during MC week.

MSJMCW Story

It was multi cultural week at MSJ and people were eating food. Then a sound came from the sky. It was not a pleasant sound. The ground started to shake and a spacecraft uncloaked. Things, about 8 feet tall and looked bug like came out of the ship. They made a weird noise then started knocking people on the floor. They beat them, then took them back to the ship.

On the ship it was all dark. The creatures had barely any eyes so they must have been used to living in the dark. They dragged the people on the ground threw the ship. The people were taken to a empty room, about 20 feet wide and long with a grated floor with holes in it, to let liquid flow threw it. The walls started to move in and squeeze the people. They were squished into a mush and their blood ran down the floor into the ships fuel tank. The ship was fueled off of blood.

The creatures took about 100 or so people, and squished them all. They all got back into their ship, and took off, never to be seen again.

Shutter Speed and Everything After

1. Fast or slow - why? Fast, the truck is in focus.

3. Element of Art - list one with an explanation Line, the trucks make a line.
4. Principle of Design - list one with an explanation Has a good balance of color. There is lots of blue with red.

Multi media poster

What makes our poster good?

Our poster clearly depicts the group of dancers performing for the multimedia fest, and it also relays accurate information about the event. The information on our poster is clearly visible, especially with the black and red fonts of the text, it really contrasts with the white background to make them "pop out". The crowd at the bottom of the poster enhances our group photo of dancers. The arms from  the crowds act like leading lines that are all pointing towards the title of the poster and our photo. The original photo from our first multimedia poster is at the heart of our poster, it has been enhanced and cropped better than it was done previously on our first poster project. The fonts we used for texts in our poster were based off of the fonts used in authentic Jabbawockeez logos/posters. Overall our poster attracts the human eye with color contrasts and the information is concise so that it does not bore the audience. Our poster is well edited and has a clean simple presentation that is pleasing to our senses.

What changes did we make to our original poster?

We re-cropped our original picture that was used during our first photo project to get rid off the rough edges and awkward areas of background that still remained the the cropped out portion of our photo. The masks were also re-positioned to fit our faces better. In total, all of the changes made to our original photograph made it cleanly trimmed and less awkward to look at. We brought back the excitement to our group of dancers by enhancing the group photograph which is the main attraction of our poster. The added crowd at the bottom of our poster was not present in our first project and this helps our poster with more added balance. The crowd evens out with the title, text, and group photo to make our entire poster seem to be at balance. The leading lines effect created by the extended arms of the crowd members directs our viewer's eyes to go from the crowd to the group photo. The fonts of our texts and titles were both improved and our main focus when choosing the font was to choose the proper format to attract our audience's attention the best. The vibrant red adds excitement to our poster and helps complement our dance crew. Finally, we revised the information to be more accurate and concise for the pleasure of those viewing our poster.

How did we make our poster?

First we had to crop out the entire background from our original group photo and then photo shop masks onto our faces to make us appear like the dance crew, the Jabbawockeez. We used the magic wand to crop the masks and pasted it into our group photo. We added a new clip art of a crowd to the bottom of our poster to improve the overall sense of balance in our poster. the information from our first project was both confusing and inaccurate, we revised our text to make the information easier to read and comprehend for our audiences. Our first poster received criticism for text inaccuracies and the difficulty to read the title and texts. We changed the fonts of the text/title to "pop out" from our photo. The white background we used for our poster adds simplicity to the over appearance of the poster.

Period 2 first semester Final

1. Number 9 is my favorite because it just looks cool.

2. Photo number 9 is the best in my opinion. It has a cool way of lighting the picture. The off center subject is good and helps with rule of thirds. Same goes for the tree.

3. My bet work might be my pictures i took for fun. They all turned out very nicely. My favorite is the AMC AMX or the pillars to the building.

4. My three rules of composition are cropping, rule of thirds, and background.

5.

This shows rule of thirds and background.

6. Your first rule is "get closer".

7. Benefits of working in a group are that you can help each other, get info, get photos, get tips, and get feedback on your photos.
