Photographic Alphabet...in shadows!!!

Advanced Digital Graphics

Fall 2010

For this project we had to pick a theme and take photos of things that looked like letters a-z and numbers 0-9. I chose to find the alphabet in shadows. I also chose to do all of my photography in black and white in order to stress that the focus is on the actual shadow and not the surface or object that is making the shadow. We could use a combination of upper and lower case. I found all of them as they were except for the J, O, U, 6, and zero; those I had to set up an object in order to make the shadow that I wanted. I enjoyed this project very much.

Photoshop Collage

For this project we had to pick two opposite words and create a collage with our own photography that depicts those words. I chose manufactured and organic. I was able to use photography that I have taken in the past as well as shoot some new photos specifically for this project. And I also learned A LOT about Photoshop and blending layers. I'm liking it more than I thought I would.

We had to choose a non-profit organization and redesign their logo and then apply it to stationary. I chose the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee that is home to endangered African and Asian Elephants.
