Project 1A : Collage Physical & Digital

25.9.23 - 7.11.23 / Week 1 - Week 6

Figure 1.1 Final Digital Collage 

I would like to call this work of mine “The world full of lies”. Each of the pictures that I've used for this collage have meaning behind it, for example, the typewriter and the black texture liquid depict the news that have been going around the cities (the blue building). To add more, the background as the sky that has been polluted and the plants that seem to grow less each day because of human activities. Lastly, the fish scale on the left top is to show the boring world could be changed with mere entertainment in this world. As for the humans in that collage, he depicts the human population where we just watch the world change as time flies. 

Figure 1.2 Final Digital Collage (After editing)

For this collage of mine I decided to use the golden ratio to ensure the hierarchy. Therefore, I edited this collage by brightening up the layers a bit and I toned down the color to make it look pleasing to the eyes. I chose this collage because it seems to have harmony in my point of view and the color makes this collage look coherent since it has kinda the same color palette. Furthermore, the editing tools that I have used for this collage is ‘Level (Darker), Vibrance (-33), Saturation (-13), Brightness (-19) and Contrast (17)’.

REFLECTION

Experience

Overall in all, this course has taught me how to compose, which is quite important for someone like me who will probably major in graphic design. I've therefore developed a knack for photoshopping and after effects, and I plan to continue practicing with them in the future. Compared to the other courses I'm taking this semester, this one seemed the most relaxed and easygoing. This course of study has not let me down in the slightest, and it has taught me a lot of fundamentals as well.

Findings 

Throughout this assignment, I have also learned how to adjust the photo by adjusting the settings or even using a clipping mask. Back then, I had no clue how it worked, but nowadays I know exactly how it works. Proper lighting is crucial while taking photos. I've been paying more attention to my surroundings whenever I want to shoot images ever since we found out about this.

Observations

I've been looking at the work of my classmates and seniors to gather ideas.As a result, using the inspiration I've gained from looking at their work, I will either implement the approach or create better versions that fit my work.
