Blog #24

A. 1. I can't seem to find the construction that I really liked that someone presented in class. There were "peeps" in the trees, then there were fake/created people made out of pipe cleaners, and there were real people/a family in the background. This one was a little bizarre but also very interesting to look at. Now, I'm sure there was some meaning behind the photographer's idea, but I tried to recreate a similar image for my assignment. At my work, the mascot is this odd fuzzball type guy. There is a replica of him in the office that is made out of styrofoam, googley eyes and these weird leafy things. Then, there is a separate plate in the building that has paper strands which I used at the grass. There are also feathers in the paper. So, I put these 2 things together and got up close to take the photos. This way it seems that the items are larger than they really are.
2. Then, I also liked the idea of Henry Peach Robinson of placing several images over each other. I also liked how he created him image based on a poem. I'm not sure what piece of literature or poem I would use, but I would like to experiment with placing several images on top of each other to get a "drawn" look.

B. I can't remember what number the blog was last time for this quesition. However, I think my idea is similar to what I previously though. Since I'm in advertising, I'm continuously looking for ideas of projects to try out and things i can add to my portfolio. So, I would like to do a "campaign", in a way, for a brand/company. So, this would include adding copy, headline/slogan, etc. However, this might be too much for me to do before the end of the semester. So, another idea might be continuing a series from one of my other projects from the class. Or, it would be interesting to go around to different buildings on campus and take pictures of the different architecture in each building. Those are my ideas right now :)
