pop art project

pop art project



starting the project

When I started this project I was very excited. I love looking because it is so unique and different than other pictures. I had ideas from other pictures I had seen in the past but I wanted to make it different. We had requirements for this project like using a variety of colors, adding a filter, using blending modes, and adding adjustment and layer masks. I knew I had to meet the requirements but I wanted to add more. 

color scheme

For my color scheme I wanted to add as many colors as possible. At first I thought it looked too busy and I just used one color but different shades to make it look ombre. But then after doing two separate color schemes I decided that I liked the multi-color option because pop art is always colorful and I wanted to go outside of the box for this project.  

artists that inspired me

When I started this project I didn't know must about pop art and artists that created it. After the project presentation I had a better understanding and found an artist that I really enjoyed. I thought that Andy Warhol was a really great artist. I loved how he used bright colors in all of his projects. He also made the person or focus in the picture look abstract with a filter that made it look blurry. I tried to loosely base my project off of his work. 

 

techniques

For this project I used a lot of tools in photoshop. I used a smart filter to take away the original background and put him on a new one. I used the paint bucket to fill the background and the colored boxes, I also used the rectangle tool to make the boxes. I used two filters, one on my partner and another on the boxes. On the boxes I adjusted the filter to make the shapes different sizes so it looked a little different on every box. Finally I used the brush tool to outline my partner to make it look like he was "popping" off of the page.

movie trailer blog post

movie trailer blog post   the project process When we were assigned this project we were asked to pick a high school movie trailer and make one recreating it. My group and I decided to re create the breakfast club movie trailer. We thought it would be fairly easy because most of the video takes place in a school library and the rest in the school hallways. We had to plan out filming and planning days for the project which is something my group and I didn't do well on. The next step was to story board, we had to go through the whole movie trailer and describe and sketch out each frame. When it was finally time to film it was very close to spring break, we had two days of school left and we planned to film all of our footage in those days. Unfortunately we didn't get much done those days, the footage we did get had actors that dropped out so we couldn't't use any of it. When we came back from break we took around a couple of days to find more actors. The actors we ...

final blog

graphic design final reflection blog One of my favorite parts about graphic design was making the vector illustrator portrait. For this project we had to choose an image of ourselves, a family member, or a family pet. We then had to choose if we wanted to do an organic vector which is tracing the facial features on the objects face or a low poly geometric vector which is when you make lots of different and tiny triable on the subject. I chose to do the low poly geometric because I felt it would look better on my dog. It took me around two weeks to complete this project. I was gone towards the end of the first week, if I wasn't gone I most likely would have finished the project sooner. I faced a few challenges along the way. At the very beginning of the project I didn't know how big to make the triangles. I decided to do small triangles on my dogs features and bigger triangles on my dogs body. Another challenge I faced was having all of my triangles looking very similar whic...

music video blog

Music video blog  When we were assigned this project we were told to pick a song and make a video rein-acting  the original music video. The first step of this project was to pick a group. With working in a group comes teamwork and agreeing on things like the song, dates we were going to film, and assigning jobs in the group. My group originally was going to use the song "Tonge tied" by group love. We decided that we were going to change our song because the music video was in an older house and had a party going on. One of my groups biggest struggles was finding times to film so we decided that we wanted to film our video at school. We finally decided on the song "Congratulations" by post Malone because it took place in a filming studio just like the one we have here at school. The video also had the same "party" theme that the Tonge tied video had so we were somewhat sticking to our original idea.  After we began the beginning process of pic...
