Reflection:
A very enjoyable task, once again giving us a lot of freedom of what to do. For my images I wanted to create something abstract, funny and encompassing. Therefore I created a cut up of famous director’s faces, combined a landscape images together and made a funny edit from a happy picture of plane pilots looking back at the camera. All using ideas from popular culture. Each image can be made sense of by looking, although the plane and directors have to be contextualized. All done using mask tools in Photoshop as well as the opacity tools for averaging.
Evaluation:
Overall the pictures can be seen to lack in context. In order to understand the pictures better the context must be given and a general online presence must be recognized, therefore the images mainly aiming at a younger audience. The landscaped image presents an abstract idea combining the yellow color scheme with blue, an idea of contradicting water with dry, as represented by the desert. The image of directors faces blends in to create a new face which blends in fairly well, choosing the black and white image was done to bring out the facial features and focus on the face layout than the look of the face itself.
