Typology Project

By -

This week in my digital media class, we were asked to create our own typology grid based off the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher.  We had to take 16 photos that were similar, but different.  I decided to take 16 pictures of 16 permanent markers I had in my art supplies.  We had to use Pixlr's Advanced Photo Editor to edit them and create a 4x4 grid.  The hardest thing in doing this project was taking the pictures because I tried to place them all evenly on the white paper I used for the background, but some of them show more of the black marker below the colored caps more than others.  Although each picture isn't exactly perfect to each other, I am overall very pleased with how my typology grid turned out and the rainbow colors it makes as a whole.

Video Mashup

This week, we were asked to make a video mashup with our audio mashup we created a few weeks ago.  I used iMovie to create my video. Making this video mashup was fun for me to create, but was also very time consuming.  I believe that I was successful in bringing it all together and finding video clips for each audio sound in my song.  I wanted to make an upbeat and fun video to match my audio clip and I think I was successful in doing that.  I chose many random clips, but was also trying to make it somewhat cohesive with the video graphics and dance clips I chose.  My favorite clip is the band playing the xylophone because I think it fits well with the xylophone sound I chose in that part of the song. The music in my audio clip sounded upbeat and I wanted to include some hip hop dance clips to make it like a dance video.  I chose the ballet dance for the last clip because I thought it fit well and was calming with the end sound.  In editing, I didn’t use transitions because wh

DIY Bracelets

This DIY is great if you like wearing bracelets.  I created this DIY because I like wearing bracelets and I thought it would be cool to make it out of sleeves from old t-shirts that I had.     I first started off by going through the old shirts I had and picked which sleeves I wanted to use as bracelets.     I cut off the sleeves I wanted and cut it down to where it stopped by my wrist.   For the first bracelet I made, I used a plain pink sleeve and glued the edges that I cut to create the bracelet.  I made sure that the fabric could fit on my wrist and could be easily taken off.  Once the bracelet fit, I then took another old shirt I had, cut out a peace design I liked and glued it on top of the bracelet to add some color to it.  I later added beads on the ends of the bracelet from a beading technique I learned how to do in my Senior Humanities class.   For the second bracelet I made, I repeated the same process I did for the first bracelet, but used diffe

Generative Art

This week we learned about generative art in digital media.  Generative art is digital art made by using an online software.  For our assignment, we had to use the software ScribblerToo and Flame to create four images – two from each software.   Girl with Hair Ribbon  Rainbow Rubik's Cube  Comparisons to reference pictures:      For the ScribblerToo drawings, we had to use an image for as a reference for one drawing and have a sense of volume for our second drawing.  In my first drawing, I used Roy Lichtenstein’s  Girl with Hair Ribbon , 1965 as my reference.  I came across that image when looking for Pop Art images because I like Pop Art and wanted to use a 2-dimensional painting for my drawing reference.  For my image, I didn’t use a big brush size because I wanted it to look very similar to the painting, in addition to adding my own style to it.  Instead of trying to make the colored dots on the girl’s face, eyes, and lips, I just used one solid color to
