Pani's Photography ;)

During this first half of the school year, I've learned a lot about photography in Beg. Media Arts. I took photos and made sure that they were the way I wanted them and they were my artwork. We used a program called Adobe Photoshop to enhance our images or make them look completely different in some way. I liked using this software a lot because it helped me get rid of glitches that I didn't like in my images, I could crop, I learned to use the gradient tool and try out different fonts. This was one of my favorite part about this class because I could play around with my images.

Something I learned that was important about photography was how you framed your image and to develop your own style. That was something I tried very hard to do. I took photos from various angles, up, down, straight, etc. Only a few of the 200 or so photos that you take turn out to be really good. I felt I've perfected this almost and I could still improve but the way my images turn out like tells of how and who I am. A part of me is within that image and it shows. This class was really fun and I'd like to take it again.

This is the slideshow of my typography work. For this batch I've decided to use more of the personal photos in my life. I took quite some time making decisions on what type of font I wanted for each image to represent it well. As you can see, I was trying to be creative with my photos. In one of the images I had the words "Ahahahaha" in the shape of a fish because it was a funny photo. For the photo with the heart, I made the words "Love" wavy to sort of conform around the heart. In other images, I just made the lettering horizontal across to make a cold statement of what the images were about. I didn't want to be too fancy but I wanted to show another side. I really enjoyed working with my images using Adobe Photoshop and this project made me realize the originality of type fonts and how they could be used to set moods.
