week 7

craft: for my craft section on these pen sketches, I tried to roughly sketch the water bottle that I was drawing, first in black ink then later changing the colors. I used complimentary colors for this project, and I used both lines and shapes to fulfill the drawing.

concept: i wanted to get the concept across of just using colors opposite on the color wheel, and making the bottles look like they were full, whether it be using stroke or shapes to fill the bottom of the bottle.

compostion: for these sketches i didn't use any backgrounds really, and just kept the back solid with no volume so that I could focus more on the bottle.

week 6

picture 1: 'kiddie playground'

craft: for this craft, I used the same layout as my original, but I switched the colors to make it look very playful and young.

concept: I wanted to make this image look like it would belong in a kindergarden classroom or something of the sort. I made the colors very bright and simple as to display the young feel to it and happy playful ness.

composition: For this composition, I kept it the same as my original, but switched it up by changing the colors to make it look different.

picture 2: 'camo'

craft: for this version of my original, I used different types of earth tones to make the object look like it was something out of an army scene.

concept: Since my concept for my original piece is shoe personified, I wanted to make each spin off act as a different type of person. For this one, I wanted the shoe to look like an army figure or something of that sort, so I used very earthy camoflauge tones.

composition: I kept the composition the same as the original, but switched the colors to adjust it to my concept.

picture 3: 'girl world'

craft: My last piece was all about girly things. I used all colors that are normally associated with girls to get my point across as to what I was trying to do with my spin off version.

concept: my concept was that of trying to make this piece look as girly as possible. Making the shoe look like it would be something a girl would love to wear or associating its personality with a girl was my main goal.

composition: I kept my composition the same as my original, while just altering the colors to make my point.

week 5

craft: for this craft, I ultimately used the same things I did from previous weeks, except I tweaked certain things to make it look better and more realistic. I also used the feather tool to help smooth out the edges of certain places.

concept: my concept consists of trying to make the shoe look somewhat personified at such a close angle. Making it look like something it's not and somewhat of a face I thought would be pretty interesting.

composition: In order for my concept to be clear, I had to develop my composition and put more of the outside window details into my piece and show the detail that would further show the personified shoe.

week 4

craft: This first shoe was made by doing several steps in adobe illustrator. First, I traced around the front of the shoe with a thick line in the pen tool. Then I used the eye dropper for picking out the color of the line.

After I outlined the shoe, I outlined the dots in the shoe, and filled them with the color that I chose using the eye dropper tool. Then i proceeded to do the far end of the shoe and trace it, and then fill in that with the eye dropper tool as well. After I finished that, I traced some of the details in the background and filled them with their closest color. I did not however go into great detail with the background information, so I could go back to it later when I know a little more about the tools, and then fix it.

Although I spent alot of time on this, I did not go into the details of the lighting and the small details of this photo. I filled the colors as best as I could, while still leaving room for improvement in the colors and details for later on.

concept: the concept behind this image is basically trying to get people to look at this shoe differently then any other shoe. I zoomed in to the shoe to almost personify it and make it look like something it is not. For example, some may say it resembles a face, and it is sitting on a window sill, therefore making it almost more realistic by making it look almost like it is staring out the window.

composition: I wanted this image close up as to see the details of the shoe, such as the scratches and wrinkles and dots of the image. I also wanted to personify it while at the same time giving it somewhat of a background and a setting as to make it more realistic.
