Lyrical Triptych Reflection

While working on the Lyrical Triptych assignment, we were  told to pick one song that meant something to us. We had to pick several parts of the song and each triptych had to visually represent that part of the song. First I choose pictures that had to do with the whole song, then I focused on which parts of the song that I wanted to do my Lyrical Triptych on. When I knew what part of the song that I wanted, I then choose from the pictures that I downloaded and decided what went best with the lyrics.

            My triptychs are all about war and guns. The song that I choose was “In for the Kill” by La Roux. Each of my triptychs all have the common element of guns. The finished work has some kind of dark, yet forgiven lifestyle kind of feel to it. I tried to create a this is what I do but I don’t want you to leave e for it because I love you. Some of the photoshop tools that I used where the magic wand, magnetic lasso, blending option, variations, and filter. I used sketch and texture in the filter option

            I used images that had something to do with that particuar part of the song, which was mostly about “killing”. I tried to pick pictures with the mood of the song that I get when I listen to I, that being wanting to tell your lover what you do as a job (or hobby), and not being sure if he/she will accept you for it. To create that feeling I used sort of dark depressing colors, like in the first triptych I used mostly blacks and grays to show that its not a happy setting. In the second triptych, I used black, gray, and blue. The way the colors worked together also made a sort of ad setting. The last triptych was a little brighter because I wanted to so that there was a “happy” ending.

            Working in Adobe Photoshop was a fun experience for me. It was fun to me to learn how to make collages on the computer. I think that my last lyrical triptych could have been a lot better. It didn’t really go with the first two. If I was given thin assignment again I would have thought more about what to put in the last triptych and made it go along more with the first two triptychs. 

i hate it when you feel like you changed ALOT then get recognized by an old friend from the 4th grade. i need to have a drastic makeover!   

i never known what a lyrical triptych was but i just fund out that it is aweSOME!! hope you enjoy my work..

bordom is the name of the game that we all have to play... i choose to win that game and come out on top.

magazine cover design reflection

  While working on the magazine cover design project we had to decide on what magazine we were going to be on then WHY we were on the cover. Second we had to decide on WHO the magazine will appeal to (kids, adults, teenagers, ect.). Next we had to decide on the visual aspect, like as how our magazine cover will look, colorful, funny, sophisticated, ect. The last thing that we needed to do was to think of a headline that told the reader why you were on the cover of the magazine. The headlines had to be directed to the people that we most wanted to appeal to.

  

   My magazine cover has a picture of me looking kind of like whatever about the fact that I’m on the cover of a magazine. On the cover are past cover stories that made a lot of headway. The headlines are red and the sub titles are black. I chose red for the headlines because it sticks out more than the black text did and it’s less common than to have red as the main color rather than to have the traditional black text.

  

   The thing that I was trying to communicate through the creation of my magazine cover was that you can always make yourself and the people around you happy with how you make a living if you are truly passionate about what you do. I tried to show this by my facial expression, showing the reader that I do what I do because it makes me happy not to be in Hollywood or anything like that. I tried to show the reader that you can be happy doing what makes you smile even if nobody recognizes that you’re doing what you love.

  

     Looking at my rubric, I feel like I could’ve done a better job creating a unique magazine cover. The cover itself stands out but the design is, in a way, too common. I feel as if I could’ve done something different with my pose to help draw the attention of the readers.
