Best Oct. & Nov. Pics

These pictures were taken for our Open Shoot assignment. I really like these pictures because the dogs actually sat still so I could take the pictures. I like the first picture because of the angle, color, and the good lighting. I think the second one looks better in black and white because of all of the shadows and the darker lighting. The third picture I controlled the lighting so that was pretty cool. I really like how it is very colorful and they are looking at the same point in the picture.

These two pictures were taken in or assignment on patterns. I really like the top one because it has more than one pattern and the lighting is very good. I like the second one because of the angle and how the top of the tree and the branches are blurry and the trunk is clear.

CD Design

Front Cover

Inside Cover

Back Cover

For this assignment we had to design a CD Cover on the music style that we were given. My music style was Disco. Disco was very popular during the 1970's. Some popular disco artists are Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Trammps, and Van McCoy. 

Professionals

The first pictures were taken by Walker Evans. I really like these pictures because they are in black and white and are older pictures.

These three pictures were taken by Jim Brandenburg. I like his pictures mainly because he likes to take picture of nature, and thats what I like to do.
