If I had to pick a favorite photography concept it would be unusual angle. This concept can make a simple object look much more appealing. It is simple to do this style of photography and I feel like I am getting better and better at it. Above are two picture of an can I took. By adding in an interesting angle the picture becomes much more attractive.

Sub Day 12/09/11

On this sub day I worked on my senior icon. It took me the whole class to finish the icon because I added so much content to the icon.

Senior Icon

Sub Day

On the Sub Day I was called out of class to help a teacher with the Girls Football Game. After coming back I started working on my test. After my test I used the remaining time to work on my business card.

Today

Today in Jeeerbook I worked on my page in Studio Works. I added the picture boxes and contemplated what the design was going to be. So I kept it simple so in the future I can make changes if needed.

Business Card Designs + Elements of Design

Elements of Design-
The basic elements of design consist of line, shape, texture, space, size, value, and color. Using these elements correctly can result in an attractive layout that is appealing to the viewer. All 5 business cards above show good examples of an attractive well thought design.   

Negative Space

Negative Space is the empty space around the subject in a photograph. This empty can be used to the photographers advantage to make the picture look more appealing. The focus should still be on the subject of the photo but there is a balance between the subject and the negative space.

Yearbook Design

8/25

This theme is really appealing, the use of light colors and white space makes it look interesting. Our yearbook should have a similar style with the addition of more color.

Since I can't get pictures of Prom Committee 2011 until Wednesday, I took pictures of 11th graders with Dominick. I found its pretty difficult to get a decent picture because everyone wants to look at the camera and make "funny" faces.

Edited a picture "JOHN" and "JANE" to finally add the last picture in the first page of 11th grade student life.
