Assignments #13. Research & Inspiration!

Why is this important to us? What makes this research helpful, by communicating? (Pro)

Exquisite- Carefully selected of special beauty or charm, or rare and 

appealing excellence, as a face,

 a flower, coloring, music, or poetry.
It was invented by French surrealist in the mid 1092's.
Surrealism- Is a type of art that goes against reality; 
it uses the element of surprise.
Inspiration-  Amusing, silly, weird, funky, crazy, 
fantasy , traditional, fun, cute, cild-like.

lThese inspirations are very meaning full. They show so many ways to reform, and show so many way to do my own Exquisite Corpses. These are probably one of the more Inspiring ones, because they show me how, and what to start on. Most of the time when the teach just tells me to do an exquisite corpses, i get confused and have too look up, some of the things she talking about. Its not her fault, i just learn differently mostly than others. These are great examples. They make me want to do some myself!

The Creative Process!

THE CREATIVE PROCESS.

Creative process, is a series of steps repeated  every time you design something. 

 - Why is this necessary?

1. It improves consistency 

2. Ability to time and plan your work.

3. Raise the quality of your work.

4. Communicate more effectively and in a more

 professional manner.

Steps of the creative process!

 

1. Research...The client and the competition. Get online, look in magazines, listen to music, pay attention to the world around you, whatever you need to do to get inspired,

2.  Brainstorm//Inspiration... Striving to be unique and innovative white still following to current trends, ensures a FRESH AND CREATIVE APPROACH. Ask yourself these questions: What kinda of message am i trying to communicate, and who is the audience? What am i trying to tell them, what kinda of color//style?

3. Sketch...Sketch to get your thought out and to work through ideas.

4. Execute... Implement your idea. Combine type and imagery into a well developed composition. Utilize design principles and visual principles guidelines to help. Try technique, explore possible options, and analyze the outcome. If you get stuck, walk away and clear your head. If the piece doesn't look how you want it too imagined, and it isn't working. Try another idea. Forcing an idea won't result in a good design.

5. Critique & Revise...Take a step back, (literally) and look at your design with an objective eye. make sure the design effectively conveys the message to the intended audience. If it doesn't, go back and tweak the composition until it does! Asking others for their opinion will this process.

Photo Composition!

1. Snapshot- Is a quick photo. Not planned.
2. Photograph- Planned, not as much space. Image taken with care and thought.

~RULES OF COMPOSITION~

• Rule of thirds- Imaginary lines drawn dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically. ~NOTE~  Place the important subject, or important elements of your composition where the lines intersect. Place the horizone line at the top or bottom horizontal divider. Fill up the entire frame with the subject for a close up image. ( If you don't like the background picture crop it out, and make the image your whole space.)
• Leading lines- Use the lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the viewer's eye through the photo. Lines can draw attention to one or more intended subjects or  single focal point.
• Point of view- Change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position. If you are photographing a subject that you want to seem very tall, compose the shot so that the camera is looking upwards. Vice Versa, looking downwards at something. 
• Simplicity- Keep your background simple and clear of clutter. The mood and effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background. A chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away.
