Composition in Photography!!

      This picture has a type of viewpoint composition. All because I had done was sort of change the angle of this image by moving my camera higher up. This way it changes the whole message of the picture. If it was lower down then it would just be people playing football. But since it is higher up it makes you think of a great throw spiralling through the air. You might even think it could be the winning shot. It changes every one of your thoughts because of the angle it was shot in. Also the football is the main focus in this picture, but the other details add to it.

      This picture has the rule of thirds sort of composition. In this picture you see the opposing team thinking of a strategy to defeat the home team. But as you can see they are in the corner, while all the other elements in the picture are not exactly blurry but a bit more unfocused. But it does mainly focuses on the team huddling together. You can imagine the lines there  and how they intersect at the edge. Say if you had two vertical and two horizontal lines they would intersect at the same place as the team.  Also if you do look closely you see two leading lines which sort of keeps the focus on what is inside of that rectangle.

      This pictures has a leading line kind of composition. As you can see there are lines going through this picture. We are naturally drawn to lines. As we do like to see where they would lead to. In this picture they just go straight to the end of the field. Although there are three different types of lines on the field, you would still some what notice them. Especially the white one, it just slices right through the picture catching your full attention.  The two yellow one don't really catch your eye as much, but they do help bring out the white line a bit more.

Rhythm Assignment

      This is my first logo. In this first logo you are just supposed to have lines that go in the same direction,but just vary the thickness, and quality of it. As I did some are thicker, and longer than others. My inspiration for this piece was like those heart monitors in hospitals. It shows you how fast your hearts beating, and it get really big sometimes. So this is related to rhythm because it has that same sort of continuous line segment.

      This is my second logo, and in this logo we were allowed to change the direction of the lines. Along with all the Elements and Principles of them. So in this one I varied all the directions, but kept everything in a rhythmical matter. All because its continuous, and it has an illusion to it. I varied the thickness in some of the lines, but had to keep the beat going. 

      Overall this was just an exercise to help us figure out exactly what a line was. So all a line is, is just a mark that goes from point A to point B. 

      I'm so sorry this assignment came in late Mrs.Silverman but it didn't work when I was trying to upload them!!

Logo Assignment!!

This is my logo. I had begun my research for this logo by just searching up my name. From my research I had found a lot of meanings in all different languages. My first name Hina meant: fragrance, henna, beautiful, goddess of fish or fishing, goddess of sun and grass. My last name Patel meant: Royal, owner of royal land. From there I chose goddess of fish, fishing because I love to fish, and I love fish in general. Also because fish are beautiful, and they have a sense of agility. From there I chose a whale, because whales are royal to the sea. They own it since they are much bigger,and have more control over their surroundings. Lastly becuase they are mammals just like us humans.

My brainstorming lead me to drawing fish jumping, and water just shooting up. After I thought that just the water shooting up was like when whales shoot water. So then I decided to try and draw a whale and see how it will turn out. I thought it worked well and went with the concept. Since like I had said the mammal represents me, as I am a mammal too. All the water that shoot up and is just there represents how these animals are beautiful. How even certain mammals can survive under water,and its gracefulness. I think it had worked really well.

The shapes I chose were just like circles, and ovals. They worked well, rather than putting other shapes. Also I didn't close all of the shapes, I just kept them they way they were. This way it would add a bit of mystery to the logos. All because in real life we don't understand everything about everyone, barely about these animals. They have that mystery to them that makes us want to know more about them. The colors I chose were just basic colors. But the colors had the sense of originality to them. The black and white was just black and white, but the colored logo had a lighter shade of gray. The water is a lighter color too. Why you might ask, because this is just they way it represents well, and how original it is. It brings out the shape and the design the logo. The line quality in this logo aren't clean and neat lines but more edgy and charcoaled lines. Yet even without the cleanliness of the lines it still adds more details to the logo. The lettering in this logo is very professional and cursive. There is movement in the writing which sort of helps draw your eye to the rest of the logo. Every line in this logo is confident and beautiful. There isn't any held back lines, but there are cut-off lines. Even with those lines it helps the logo in the overall vision.

When I had started my design process I had just sketched some of it. But then when I got onto Adobe Illustrator that's when I started to change up the lines and direction of my logo. I had changed it because you see it differently when it's larger and when its actually in front of you in color. Since in the beginning I didn't want bold lines, but then it turned bold after when I worked harder in the logo. I had learned a lot of different ways to write my name (like on paths, how to curve), and all the effects you could add to it. It had helped emphasize the logo,and make it more eye catching. The layering I did not need for my logo, because the whole thing came from my head and I didn't need to trace it.

Yes I am happy with how my logo turned out. Still though I think I could have added more details to my logo. But I wouldn't change too much of it, because it turned out pretty good. Since in the beginning I didn't think it would look that good. If I changed my logo some more than I personally don't think it would have been this good. Sometimes simpler is better. I learned that designing a logo had a lot of trial and errors. Also that it is not as easy as it looks, and will take forever to do sometimes. But in the end all the hard work will be worth it. I think that next I want to do something simpler,and easier, because we had spent forever just working on this. But also I want it to be fun,and creative. There isn't anything that I want to learn more about at the moment, but anything that will come in handy in the future will be helpful.

I hope you enjoyed my logo =)

"The Dying Lioness"

"The Dying lioness" By Ninevah c. 650.c
Location: The British museum

      This sculpture is called the "The Dying Lioness" It is by Ninevah. This sculpture was made in c. 650 B.C. This sculpture is a strongly imitated piece. This portrays the subject of the sculpture with adequateness. Also you can tell exactly what it is right on the spot. You can tell it looks like a lioness, and people who like imitation work would feel strongly about this piece of depressingly strong work. The colours in this piece are mostly just grey and black. But the intensity makes you imagine a real live lioness being shot dead. They will clearly see the lioness and how she is dying. They will feel and see realistic intensity of this piece. This is what makes it appear like a life like piece of art. Not just visually, but emotionally.

      The lines in this sculpture are beautifully strong. They really show off the graceful, powerful, and slenderness of this lioness. The texture of this sculpture is more rough than smooth. The space is used really well, just as well as the negative space in the sculpture. In the end it portrays a lot. The intense motion of the sculpture is really good. The lines are confident and strong. The shapes do reflect what the sculpture is. You can tell the sculpture is about a lioness dying, and the arrows are piercing through its body. You can see the muscles, and energy from the lioness are trying to bring it back up to fight more. But the effort is not helping. You can feel the movement in the sculpture, you feel the lioness getting up, but dying all at the same time.

      This sculpture is a very expressive piece, because it does make you feel emotional. It makes you fell sad, but has that pride in it too. The mood is definitely not just melancholy, but happiness. It does communicate pride but your response to it is sadness. This piece makes me personally make me sad, happy, proud. This piece is a very emotional piece of artwork.

      Overall this piece of artwork is very strong, and should be recognized by all!!! Ninevah did an amazingly fabulous job of showing real life troubles,into emotionally strong sculpture.
