week 6

assignment- the  first draft of mash up 2 is due

Craft -to mash up a pick of my parents and a picture of a polar bear to show my parents rafting by a polar bear 

concept- I intend to say my parents are fun adventurous people who love the outdoors 

Composition - I need to re work this a bit because when we met with professor Peck for our critique I need to have the raft more on the water and position the polar bear either further up or back in the picture. 

week 5

assignment- To take 25 pictures of people, places and things for our second mash up 

Craft- My approach for this project is going to be to include things that I really love. My goal is to include three pictures of my house my parents and just for fun a polar bear. I love where i live and I love my parents and I think polar bears are really cool.

concept- My goal for this piece is to do  more good work through the piece show things that i love and what I think are really fun and interesting.

Composition- I am really undecided on how I will bring all of these elements together my house in the background and my parents standing next to the polar bear. I have not figured that part out yet. 

week 4

Assignment- to fix up final draft of mash up 

Craft- I took a picture of my dad and brother in law at a cubs game and put Abe Lincoln's face over my brother in laws and put a cub hat on him. I need to fix the cub had and fix the eraser marks around his head.

Concept - the concept I was trying to go for was if Abe were alive today i think he would enjoy going to a cub game to relax with his buddies.

week 3

assignment Mash up 1 rough draft 

craft- working in photo shop to create one picture that mixes new and old one of Lincoln and on of my two best friends. 

concept - to make Lincoln look like he is having a party and taking pictures with his guests. I am going to put more Lincoln era objects in the photo to make sure it looks more like his party. The comments were the pictured looked at bit awkward which i am able to see and agree with them it is awkward. I think i am going to merge to new images entirely on Lincoln and my dad and brother in law at a cubs game. I think merging those images will work better.

Composition - I really couldn't fix my ols image enough to make it look less awkward so i hope the new image I am making works much better, which i think it does.
