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.

On the first day we got our teams and started thinking of ideas that we could draw that would symbolize each one of us. But the symbols had to sort of have the same theme throughout the drawing. So we each came up with four ideas that we could use. Some were similar and some not at all. For my symbols I chose a red rose which means promise, a sun which I think means happy, a tree for nature, hearts for love, and an American flag for USA. To be similar we all tried to do nature related things but like I said before some were a little off topic. On day two our groups started sketching the things we wanted to draw on paper. Some things that people chose they didn't like anymore so they changes some symbols. What I did is I had a few symbols from the day before and I added some so that I could fill all of my space up. I We also had to decide how we were going to draw all of our symbols on the ground. We wanted to be able to tell that we all had different ideas so we divided our sq...

ab sequence

In this project we learned even more about using the six shots while filming. This video could be longer than the video we filmed for the creating a document, so we had a lot more time. Since we had more time we had to switch our angle of the shot more often. Because if you watched a video and all the shots were taken at the same angle it would be boring. In this project we had our character going all over the place where in the other one our character was only in the library. So we had more action in this video which was much more fun to film! When me and my other three partners were brainstorming and sketching for this project we had so many ideas that it was hard to narrow it down to one big idea! The first and biggest thing we had to figure out was where our characters would end up. Because we didn't want to be on one side of the school then have to find enough stopping points to get to the other side of the school and still have the viewer know where we were going.  We edi...

typography anatomy

Typography project   The project We did this project so we could learn about different fonts and how there are heights for certain parts of the letters. Also that parts of the letters are called something specific, they don't just have the basic shape that you think they would have. We also learned how to make dashed lines and arrows on illustrator so that you could really see what part was where. What we learned We learned a lot during this project, most of it I stated in the paragraph above. But these specific things I really had to focus on because they were things that were apart of my name. These things are a bowl, crossbar, aperture, descender, shoulder, diagonal stroke, counter, finial, stem, and a serif. These were all things used to identify parts of my letters when using this font. We also learned about  the sizing of letters like uppercase, x height, and the base line. Those are three heights that my letters hit. How was the project  The project ove...
