Describe
Lauren used a lot of layers in her work. She used a mountain, three girls in different poses, a rose, a bunch of pencils and pens, and a key hole filled with design. She used a pink, purple, and green color color scheme to balance out everything that is going on. Her main subject is in the middle standing in a bold pose that shows the confident nature of her person.
Analyze
Lauren used several composition points trough out her piece. Such as leading lines, as the mountains. The mountain range all points up to her subject. She uses the layered look too as she stacks things up, she put her subject above the mountains then the forest on top of her to create that effect. She made every inch count by adding drawings and pictures on blank space in the image.
Interpret
Lauren used her image to show more about her subject. The use of mountains a rose, and a forest background showed that she loves nature and the outdoors. The pictures of the girls shows she loves photography, drawling, and being goofy. The pose of the girl shows she is confident and proud of who she is.
Evaluate
Lauren's piece was overall successful in creating one that filled the purpose of the project, to show more about your subject. However, her piece is visually beautiful, with the colors and the mountain and forest but her add ons seem tacky and distracting(sorry..). I think by adding on the girls in complete random places, and the colored pencils it just took away from the image. I also can't really tell what the add on in the upper right is.

JOINER
Describe
A joiner is is a photographic technique in which one picture is assembled from several overlapping photographs. I wanted to make my own spin on one. Most people in my class created one large image by cutting different angles and putting them together. But I wanted to tell the same story in my photograph different times. So, I decided to make mine longer and show the same pose, or moment in time from different angles to make it more interesting.
Analyze
In the joiner each photograph is well let in the window area, but beyond that the walls are mainly dark and dull. This allows the clouds and the bright blue sky to stick out. I tried to make the window lighting the same throughout. This created a balance in the work as you move left to right. The lightest part of the window was where Lauren and my heads met, so i put that in the middle and then it got darker as you move away from the center to give the middle of the photograph dimension and a good balance.
Interpret
The purpose of this work was to show the same moment, of Lauren and i sitting on the window sills from different angles and perspectives, showing the changes of light as it moved across the photo. The angles of the photo change and the poses me and Lauren were in slightly change in each of our bodies are shown multiple times through the photograph.
Evaluate
In my opinion the experiment was a success. The photo incorporated a lot of composition points such as “Think Inside the Box” the window created framing around each person. Also, “Be Offish” was incorporated because each window frame was not perfectly lined up and more stacked down or up like stairs as you move from photograph to photograph. I incorporated 15 total photographs but was able to make them all work for a specific purpose. I was also able to use “Leading Lines” by using the window frames to lead the viewer's eyes away from the center of the joiner or carry them to the middle of the work. The last composition point i used was symmetry, by putting the picture of Lauren and i together in the middle and having us separate as you move to the left or right.

Remix
Describe
My remix piece was based off the artist Kent Andreasen. Kent is a 24 year-old photographer and cinematographer known for his bold use of color, and minimalistic style. A lot of his work features simple photographs with a fresh concept. I decided to use his minimal style of photography and take a picture of Hailey on the top of the hill to create an interesting composition that contained a few layers.
Analyze
Kent uses color in a strong bold way that has a vintage photo aspect at the same time. So I decided I wanted to use natural colors like sky blue, and the bold green of the use to mimic his style. By messing around with the light and filters in Photoshop I was able to make the picture have that slight vintage light.
Interpret
The purpose of Kent photography is to have a fresh and new take on portraits. He likes to shoot people from the back doing funky poses a lot, so I posed Hailey on the hill so only her back and hair would be seen in the photo and had her use her hands to make an unnatural pose. Kent uses strong and bold colors in clothing a lot, so in order to mix it up and make his style my own I used bright colors from nature instead. It overall created the same mood and gave the photo the same aspect.
Evaluate
The photo uses several composition points to create an overall balance. The sky graduates down to a lighter blue allowing the focus of the center of the photograph to be Hailey. Symmetry can also be found in the Photograph since is is divided up between the sky and ground.

REMIX
LOGO
Describe
The logo has a dog outlined in black with a upside down heart shape head, it's tongue sticking out and big red heart eyes. It also has my companies name on the bottom, "Puppy Love". This logo was created for my company, a dating website for dogs that would allow dogs to be set up to have play dates. The logo is simple and symmetrical.
Analyze
I only incorporated a few composition points into my logo. I used symmetry, everything but the companies name is exactly symmetrical. This created an overall sense of balance. Also I stacked the logo on the companies name which gave it a bit of a layered look, also since the puppy is all stacked up and symmetrical too.
Interpret
I used my photo to express the man goal of my company. I used the puppy to show the target demographic of my services. Also, I used the heart eyes to show it was a dating website. I wanted it to be simple and easy to remember and recognize, I received a bunch of positive feedback about that aspect and got one suggestion to change the tongue and make it symmetrical too.
Evaluate
My piece was an overall success in my opinion. I felt my piece showed the goal of my company in a clear way the best it could since it is an unique and new company with a fresh concept. I modeled by company off the I love you New York model, and felt it keep up to the simple and bold nature of it. I could have added a slogan to further the understand of what my company was though.

Treatment
My computer is STUPID and will not let me upload Hailey's Chernobyl picture. I've tried for like an hour to figure out a solution. Ughhhhh but I included it when I turned it in so hopefully that works.
Describe
Hailey’s photograph uses a great sense of 3D- imaging. It shows a scared girl running away from the massive explosion at a ship deck. Personally I think the model brings life to the photograph and makes the entire image. (Bonus points that it happens to be me). The use of layers really adds to the photograph and makes it eye catching.
Analyze
Hailey used various composition points to make her image a visual masterpiece. She used the layering effect well by stacking the different images on top of eachother. The person and boxes, then the explosion. She also used be offish by putting the explosion to the right of the center and her model to the right of the center even though she still had symmetry shown throughout her piece.
Interpret
Hailey wanted her piece to tell the story of her treatment. It was shown by the bold text of an event everyone is aware of, with the vivid picture of what was going on. She used her model to show the overall panic and scare of the civilians and create a story within her frame. The 3D really made the image come to life and give it more of a realistic sense.
Evaluate
Hailey’s project did exactly what it was supposed to do. Inform viewers about the movie in a way that was bold and eye catching. This was the piece that was her movie poster. I think it was able to tell a story and inform people that walk by it what the movie is about, which is a major advertizing key for movies. Next time she could work the make the image more realistic using black and white and similar explosions would be interesting, and maybe multiple models running.
