Panoramic macro review

I decided to take a step back and look at my panoramic images with the macro lens... i was unsure how to move forward. I asked a few people around me what they thought and i got some good feed back!

Some people said that they look like paintings, i thought this was interesting but others said they looked like landscapes or reminded them of memories or objects. I liked the idea of this and decided to rotate some of them to look more like landscapes or scenes and let people see what they see in them...

With this one i got a lot of people saying it looks like hills and the sky or the ocean with waves coming over it, i decided to flip it around and edit the contrast and highlight.

I like this flipped around and i can see it is easy to see landscapes in this i decided to continue...

This one i liked both ways but i did edit the contrast to make it a bit easier to see the overlapping colour and texture in this.

I think this is interesting, i did not get a lot of feedback on what people could see in it but it was a lot of peoples favourite of the images i showed them.

This one of a cucumber a lot of people said they could see the ocean and sky, i can see that in this, after it was brought to my attention. I flipped it around and really like the results.

I am happy with these images. I really like the idea of everyone having a different reaction to them and being able to see things in it.

I think that is normal for more abstract art. the mind wants to make sense of what it is seeing!

This really helped me because i felt a little stump on how to progress this image i am thinking of doing a collage of these in a food diary kind of thing. What i eat in a day or a week and take macro panoramic images of them then collage them all together.

Alice Potter

. Digital Media . Illustration . Surface Pattern . Alice Potter I decided to start my research with Alice Potter. I was interested in Alice Potter's work because it is very different to what i usually look at. Potter is a London based freelance illustrator and children's wear print designer. Design is something i am not sure i have an eye for, i do appreciate it but i don't tend to find myself attracted to it, or give it as much thought as i probably should. http://alicepotter.co.uk https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AlicePotter I love the colours in this one above, i like how simple it is, but it still translates as an apple. I like the dot print i think it adds a kind of sweetness to the design as well as add something to the flatness of it. I really like these, i love how happy they look because of the use of colour. Potter draws her work out in her sketch book and then moves onto illustrator where she uses the pen ...

Typography Investagation.

We have started a new unit, typeface and letterforms. I found this very daunting, because, it is a completely new, huge world to me that i have never explored... We watched a film about Helvetica and it was very interesting but like i said i feel really overwhelmed. I wanted to know what happened before more in depth and really look into it as best i could. I decided to calm my nerves by looking into the history of type face, and to, i guess start at the beginning... for myself. while researching i found out that a lot of people agree that the creator of typography was a German man named Johannes Gutenberg. But before he came along books needed to be scribed, by hand. Obviously this was very time consuming, So Guttenberg created Blackletter. I think this was modeled after the scribe's. It has thick vertical lines, and thin horizontal connectors. This was hard for printing, as it looked very dense and squished together. So then came Roman Type, the first roman type was cr...

Photography : Rommert Boonstra & Laurie Simmons

For photography i wanted to look at artists who use models or staged worlds for their photography because its not something i looked into previous years. From moodel i came across Rommert Boonstra. He is a photographer, poet and theater director. He also taught photography at several art academies.He is well known for his Staged photography and he has Four books are published about his photo works. He uses everyday objects to create these worlds... I am pretty taken aback with these photographs and i am surprised there is not a lot about these images online. The only words i can find to describe them is other worldly. They look like completely different words, like something you would find in science fiction comic. They are just amazing. What i liked about these is the way he has used light and shadows to create the illusion of above and below, in the first 2. He has also used composition and perspective to make you feel like you are inside the world its self. I like...
