Heard It Through the Grapevine

For this assignment, I chose the song Heard It Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye. My approach to this was to illustrate the sorrow and astonishment within the song. I also aimed to show the feeling of loneliness and isolation. To demonstrate these emotion, I used plants with the presence of water, instead of people to make the image more relatable to the song itself.

Experimental Sketch Book #2

For this experimental sketch book, we focused on adding text to our images. My approach was to find images and create a hidden story within them . I found a focal point in each image and wrote a phase that I thought best fit what was happening in the image. I used some editing effects to make the picture stand out more. Enjoy!

Grids

For this assignment, we were asked to make grids with multiple photos. I tried my best to make all of the photos cohesive towards one another. During the process I ended up recycling old photos from past assignments and made comic strips and squares out of them. I hope that you enjoy them!

Triptychs

For this assignment, I took some photos of different object, and then place them together to find the best fit. I tried to make each picture unique in its own way. In triptych I played around with the exposure, kookiness, and in some determining whether or not it looked better in color or in black in white. Hope you enjoy!

Diptychs

For this assignment, I chose to walk around and photograph different objects and people and then figure out how well they related to one another. Once each photo was placed with another, I then used exposure and colors to make the similarities between the two stand out. Hope you enjoy!
