Assignment- mash up 2
Craft- I went through similar routines of photoshop to make my new picture using two different pictures in my mash up. I used the lasso tool for the car and the heart shape on their holding hands, used some paint to cover up a red light that would make the picture not make sense. I used the blur tool to make the car fit in better. I had a seperate layer to make the heart brighter and colored purple. I used alot of the transform and adjustment tools as well.
Composition: One thing that I used that I did not use in the last picture is a brightness and color change of a portion of the picutre in order to control where the viewers eyes went. The heart shape on their hands shows that I am trying to convey eternal love through the old couple walking. My composition needs work because the picture of the car was taken in the day time, and the background is at night, therefore the car has no lights, and looks very bright and shiny which looks off with the rest of the picture.
Concept: My original concept with this peace was that although these people are blessed to find someone they spent their whole lives with and are still in love, it upsets me that when people get this love, one of them will always die first leaving the other alone in a world that they have never been alone in. So I tried to show them getting hit by cars at the same time so that neither one of them would ever have to endure this pain, they both die together at the same time, holding hands with their other half. I need to add another car coming from the other way to make this point better seen, because right now it looks like he will only die and she will not, and the defeats my entire purpose.
Craft: using photoshop combine two or more images that the artist took themselves
ReplyDeleteCompositon: My eyes are immediatly drawn to the elderly couple holding hands then my eyes drift to the words and finally upon the car because it is darker.
Concept: I think that this is one of the best concepts overall and that the final image does a good job realting that concept to the audience. The overall concept is about love. The message of the image goes deeper into the idea about losing a loved one and how you can never really lose them at all. It is sad to be left alone on this earth but how sometimes part of us goes with them. The more important thing is that love lasts us a lifetime and this couple will stay together forever even in their afterlife. Life together is better than life alone.
