Wallas's Stages of Creativity

For my postcards, I started by visualizing possible concepts and solutions that I could work with while taking pictures. That way I would already have a head start on making the postcards. All the images aren't going to be used, and that is partially because not all the concepts are viable. Illumination is a big part of my creative process because it is easier for me to solve a problem when I have a goal in mind.

Colour Adjustments

Today we learned about the history brush and filters in photoshop. We also learned how to create new adjustment layers on top of images. That was great because now I can add adjustments and just delete them if I don't want them anymore.

Today I learned how to use the patch tool, more about the content aware tool, how to create a mask on top of an image, and how to make convincing shadows. The material about patch and content aware was very helpful and I will definitely use it again in the future. If I were doing a project I would be careful that it still looked believable, but it is still a useful tool.

Pattern making and placing

Here is the pattern that I made and applied!
Made in class on January 21, 2016

I learned how to use paint more effectively and how to make a pattern and how to mask the pattern over another image.

Mindmup for 1st assignment

Today we were asked to define their place (see previous images).

I chose my apartment. I am interested to see how social constructions, especially those around gender, manifest in homes. We view the home as a safe space, so it is hard to picture how negative constructions come into the space we view as safe and secure.

My images for the first project

I used images taken from my student apartment. My images focus around ideas of diversity, security, and feminism. I want to explore how social constructions manifest in private spaces like the home.

I happened to be in my apartment doing homework and I started taking images of random things, then I started questioning what significance these objects had for me. Many of my images related to the ideas of being secure in a space, relating to the space culturally, and social constructions.
