Alternative Media Fun

I really enjoyed this project! It was very excited trying to create a martini glass with nontraditional media and challenging! I did try a few objects and media that didn't work for me but I came up with many ideas that were very interesting and turned out great. I am extremely happy with my final pictures as well. In a sense I would have enjoyed making a book of them, like I have seen in previous years, but that would have taken more time. I can still always work on that over winter break though! It was also a great exercise to get us geared up for the next poster project. It was interesting having "commission" my mom to help and having all my neighbors help out too. The photoshop pictures were a bit difficult for me, because I have very little experience with the program. Though I did become familiar with some tools I had no idea existed. All in all, I thought it was a great project.

Have a look!

So, this post is for permission to start on our next project. I really wanted to try and use a martini glass in the first logo project, but it never came out real well so I thought it would fit for the second project.For my second choice I have an ice cream cone. But I am really attached to the martini glass.

Graphic Stories

Here are my graphic stories. I found them very frusterating when starting out, trying to fit a whole story into one picture was not my idea of an easy exercise. But, in the end, I think I grasped the concept. Simple images, positive and negative figures, and combinations read the fastest and simplest. Here are my first tries. The one on the right is my very first, obviously.

And for my final product...

So if you haven't figured my stories out by now I guess I just didn't do well enough on the project. So from right to left here are the "answers": I got a blue ribbon on a science project and I was really excited about it; my best friend got married; and last, I bought a lot of shoes for a low price and I was very happy about it.
