foshay towers

I had a lot of fun with the foshay tower project.  Messing around
with different aspects and colors I over all enjoyed it and am happy with the outcome. 

RESPONSE!

I found it very interesting when they mention about how arguements are somehow re rooted twards war.  Like our conversations/arguments or the way we use are words are related to war.  I have even used the concepts either when i have been angry or when i have been in some sort of conflict with another person or explaining to a friend about how I feel about something..  Like the first chapter mentions it becomes or has become so common for us to talk that way that we dont even think about it any more. 
As the book says our language is metaphorically structured and i agree with that.  They proved it to me by giving examples of conflict with concepts of both war and language.  Becuase we automatically defend and attack the other person.  Now most of the time this does not happen physically its all mentally. The book gives some great examples.

makeover move poster

New updated version of my movie poster. The previous seemed not to work but overall satisfied with this.

new business card

This is my new business card!  i decided to go with a bit different font and size.  i also decided to go with a different color than the green because i feel this makes the card come more together than the green did.  overall I'm very happy!

15 artists....

1~Ewa Wnek Webb: Amazing color in her paintings and the texture/feeling behind the images are awesome.
2~Michael Alford: I have always been a fan of landscape paintings and he captures the feeling as if you were standing right there in the painting itself.
3~Angela Filo: Creates much depth in her photos
4~Kristin Giordano: amazing photos that has a stillness and creates depth with meaning
5~Karin Muller: has a specific photo in particular that is of a shoreline with fog above. It is amazing how she captured that one moment so well.
6~Chris Jorda: Expresses mass media in one picture and us as a society are today by displaying a huge amount of cell phones scattered about.
7~kosoff: black and white pictures that he has taken are astounding
8~Jim brandenburg: many animals especially loons but the clarity of the photo is just amazing.
9~Sally Gail~very contemporary but seems to find a way to connect human with nature.
10~Kelly Fitzgerald: another landscape artist that i'm very fond of. Really captures the size and dominance of nature.
11~Sandra Russell: Love the color in her photos. As if she used sepia: she makes them look very romantic
12~Alan Shulik: Very unique, does more combonations between organic figures with architecture.
13~Stephen Johnson: Does mountains with ice and percieves dephth and curiousity in all of his photos.

The SAYING:
"Don't worry about your originality, you could not get rid of it even if you wanted to." by Robert Henri

was a fun experience making this card.  The most fun was coming up with an idea for the card.  I came across the idea by attempting to find a backround.  When I finally decided i wanted to do raindrops i realized that i had the same backround on my blog so from there decided to have the main theme of the card tied to my blog.  Overall happy with it.  the umbrella was a challenge by trying to get it to fit correctly and the color balance to fit but over all happy with the outcome.  It was a fun little project.

REDO!

This is my redo!  I decided to go to a larger print to bring the images together with the help of some fellow classmates!  I decided to stick with the white color for the font because against the black or darker backround i think it sticks out more.  Overall I am happy with the ending product.
