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 ...

Art & Design Portfolio - Sam Cornwell (Digital)

I decided to start my research on paper based and digital portfolios by first looking at a digital portfolio. One artist who came into the college to do a talk was a photographer called Sam Cornwell, he took us through his digital portfolio. I wanted to think about why his portfolio was digital and not paper based. One of the biggest advantages of a digital portfolio is the accessibility of it. It is easy to send out to employers or people wishing to view it. It is digital so it can easily be send to someone via email or put on a USB and accessed that way. Another reason is unlike a paper based portfolio there is more than one, it is easy to dispatch without spending money on paper to print. It is also instant, you might have to wait a few days for a paper port folio to be sent by mail or spend money on travel to bring it to the person wishing to view it. With a digital portfolio one click and it is sent! I went onto Sam Cornwell's page and found out his portfolio is on his web...

Trying out Wine Glass Reflection.

I decided to look at reflection in wine glasses, i wanted to look at attractions and historical buildings. I started with the new wall mural that was painted near the high street. I decided to play around with editing on iphoto, i boosted the contrast and played around with the filters. Another one i decided to crop a bit more to get a close up of the reflection in the glass. I then decided to sharpen the image up making it stand it a bit more. again on iphoto. I then moved on to the war memorial near the center of town, i wanted to capture the reflection of the shape of the building, as i found it quite an interesting shape. I decided to crop this image and use a filter on my phone just to play around with the settings on my phone, i liked the cropping but was unsure if the colours worked well in the image and thought about making it sepia or black and white, but i don't want to many black and white images. I then decide...
