PSA FINAL

A PSA is a Public Service Announcement. I didn't really learn anything new about the topic, but it is mostly because i Created a complete 5 minute PSA my freshman year of highschool so i already knew all about them. I love how my PSA turned out. I think that it really evokes emotion from the person that looks at it. The most difficult part of the project was to decide whether or not to add or change something. I really wanted others to like it.  I feel like i really learned a lot in this class and that it really benefited me. I love the skills that i have learned in this class and will definitely use them in the future. Here is my PSA(the background is white so it looks like there is no background):

FINAL PSA Plan

For my final project i am doing a public service announcement. For this project i am doing animal abuse. I want it to stop. So i am going to make a poster with blood on it and a saying like "stop animal abuse." And i will put a picture of a sad looking animal in one corner.

Textography

This is an example of Textography that i did. I chose a dove as my subject because i like the idea of peace in the world. A dove represent that idea very well. I chose specific words for this peace. I used a lot of different ones like Dove,Peace,World Peace,harmony, etc. Now that im done i really like this project but in he middle i really didn't like it. It is a long process and takes a long time but your results are worth it.

Photo Montage

This Photo is about me. I am a senior at EHS and am graduation in 24 days and counting. I put together pictures of graduation and friends, and how the journey is. Because High school is a LONG journey .

iphrase

To make an i phrase we started with a photo of someone doing a certain pose. Then we outlined the person and copy and pasted it into a new layer. We deleted the background layer. Next we made a blank layer and then outlined the pixels around the person and then clicked into the blank layer and colored it black. Now you have your silhouette. To make one object stick out you need to click into the layer that isnt blacked. You select the pixels that you want in color. Next you copy and paste it into a new layer and make the layer on top. I did that with all of these pictures and i even turned one of the objects gray by coloring it white instead of black then messing with the transparency.

Below is my iphrase and the separate pictures.

Rule of Thirds

The Rule of thirds is like a guideline that breaks up the photo into thirds horizontally, and vertically. It makes it so its in 9 parts. Below is a picture of what the rule of thirds looks like on you camera.

Filter Gallery

This is my original picture:

And this is the same picture, but filtered. I filtered this photo by putting in a halftone pattern and turning the contrast up all the way.

This is the original picture but filtered. I took this one and  i added glowing edges. And then I messed with the smoothness to make the edges glow more.

Pop Art Critique

I am looking at Hannah Buzzell's picture. I like how different the colors are in each separate picture. It makes it pop more. I think that they could of made the cat and the background different color and it would of made it pop more. But i like it.

Pop Art

     Pop Art is is basically art that has been influenced and invented with popular culture and media in mind. I like Pop Art because it shows how far that art of come over the years. It also shows how our media and pop culture influence people and everything around us.

My Concentration

My Concentration will be Natural Beauty. I want to show the beauty of the world that people take for granted. I'm going to show nature, and people in my photographs.

Depth Of Field

Depth of Field is an aperture setting on an digital camera.  It is the distance between the farthest, and nearest subject that appear sharp in a photo. You use Shallow depth to take portraits, because it makes the person sharp and the background blurry. You use High depth to take a picture of anything that is far away, because it makes the subject sharp.
