Project Corrections / Time spent: I spent an hour redoing my montage project. I used the same scripture but I used a different picture of Christ and a different background picture. The original projects wasn’t well blended and I didn’t really love the background picture I originally used. I spent 40 minutes fixing my photodesign picture. I didn’t love the original font so I found a different font and I also reconfigured the boxes so that the type wasn’t so close to the edge of the boxes. I then spent 20 minutes fixing my Logos project. The dress was much too big for the type so I shrieked the dress and I also increased the font size and chose different fonts to use.
Message: I wanted to professionally showcase my work. I want all my projects in one place so that I can easily have access to all of them when needed
Audience: Future employers as well as future clients
Top Thing Learned: I learned how to create a portfolio on InDesign to present to future employers and clients

P3 Activity: Photography

Light 1: Outside

Light 2: Inside

Focus 1: Foreground

Focus 2: Background

Composition 1: Thirds

Composition 2: Lead Room

Photography is such and interesting concept to be because you can create an endless amount of photographs in many different styles. I enjoyed playing around with the rule of thirds technique and seeing the different types of images I could create with the same subject. It was a little challenging because everything is covered in white snow and the sky was dark today but it was still a fun challenge. I looked for a subject to use for the rule of thirds technique and I found the bike racks which I thought worked great.

The foreground and background images were the trickiest for me to shoot. I don’t know how to work with cameras very well yet but I was finally able to get the shots that I wanted. I then used photoshop to spice my images up a bit. There is still so much about photography that I need to learn but this project was a good start.
