Project 2 Destroy the Icon: Progress 1

-

So I've been playing with different blending modes and experimenting with textures, and this is what I've come up with so far. I'm pretty happy with the composition as it stands at the moment in terms of subject matter/framing, but I'm still going to experiment some more with blending some more relevant images into the mix. And the effects Photoshop offers are always fun, so I'll "destroy" my image a little bit with those and see where I get.

    Hi, David —
    I enjoy the textures that you've implemented as well as the images you've added in for context. However, as far as the placement for the monk and the fire surrounding him, it may be a bit too similar to the original image (which I need to fix in my image).

Project 1 Fantasy Appliance: Progress 1

 For my fantasy appliance project, I decided to go with a toaster. I had no particular reason for choosing it, and it took a little thinking to work out what I would combine it with. I started thinking about bread itself, and the process of creating it. One of the main ingredients of bread is flour, and that is milled from wheat using big machines. I got stuck on the thought of a bread machine for a while, and I thought about a funny way of portraying how bread and toast could be created. Cows eat a ton, and produce a lot of waste from their grazing in fields. And then it came to me: what if I had toaster cows grazing in wheat fields, and instead of creating waste, they created toast? I thought that was pretty clever, so I stuck with it and went to Illustrator with my toaster pictures.  If you go to my previous blog post, you can see the three toaster angles I captured for this project. I threw them into Illustrator and traced away with the pen tool. Once those were crisp, I looked on

Project 3 Cyclical Nature of Things: The Lifecycle of the Automobile

So I've decided to go with the lifecycle of the automobile for this project. Over the break, I did a lot of work to my car and spent a lot of time in the shop. While I was in there, I snapped some photos of the interior of the shop, underneath my car, and various parts/contraptions laying around that I thought might make a neat composition. As far as blending these images into a cohesive story regarding the lifecycle of a car, I figured that I'd break the lifecycle into stages: buying at the dealership, driving, washing, maintaining, and junkyard/repurposing. These pictures represent the maintenance stage, of the car's lifecycle, and would come after the dealership pictures found in the previous contact sheet I posted on this blog. I think these will work nicely for maintenance, but I'll have to get some more pictures for the washing, junkyard/repurposing, and driving portions of this project.
