Week 11: Organic Shape

Craft: The organic figure was made using cardboard that had been formed into small triangles and rhombuses by cutting and scoring with a box cutter.
Concept:  The goal of the project was to create an abstract figure with one or more of the shapes we built: squares, triangles, hexagons, etc.
Compostion: The composition of the organic figure was based mostly on randomness. I started of building the based of the figure with rhombuses to create a type of rotary pattern. I wanted to make the figure larger by adding long strips of card board so it would stand out in the space. I choose to place it near the window to highlight the openings inside the figure. Allowing light to shine through it added another visual dimension in addition to the figure itself.

Week 8: Eye Candy Tea Box: Depth of Field

Concept: The purpose of this assignment was to take well- composed photos of the tea box brands I designed called Eye Candy.
Craft: I used a DSLR Canon Camera utilizing both the auto functions and manual functions. The Manual function helped me to control the IOS and shutter speed to create images that demonstrated depth of field. Soft light created from attaching an umbrella to the lamp was also utilized to ensure the boxes looked 3D and not flat.
Composition: This set of photos play with depth if field by blurring the background and setting the boxes, envelopes, and tea tabs forward in the composition. By doing this, it is obvious that it isn't the prop that should grab the attention but the branding of the products.
