For this project I focused on using opacity with layered images. The background is a C pass, the very thing that allows me to park close to campus. Over the parking pass is a map of the normal morning commute. The opacity has been changed so that the C pass is still visible and can be read. In the top left is a picture of highway traffic with Tylenol layered over it. This picture represents not only the massive headache rush hour causes but, it is also located by the part of the trip that is the worst. From a time perspective, the majority of the trip is getting to 315. In the bottom left the stadium arch is shown. I get to walk by this every day and remind myself of the history I have here. The highway picture and the stadium are both tilted. Finally there is a bit of text to emphasize the amount of time it takes to reach my final destination, art educ 252.
We liked how the long commute was clearly shown in the map with the smaller pictures supporting the image. The layering of the map over the parking pass and then the pictures over the map gave the project a lot of depth which was nice. The only thing that could have been cleaned up was using a larger parking pass picture so, when stretched, the lines of the pictures wouldn't blur. Overall a very nice image though.
ReplyDeleteDavid makes some nice suggestions here. In general I really liked your piece and thought you found a good may to combine a few images together.
