Small book

Front and back cover

 For the front cover, I printed two piece of the same photo but set the enlarger to different times and then I glued the two pieces together to math them. I glued the picture onto a type of paper that has leaves and flowers embedded into it. I also glued on a bow and I drew my name in a type of font that I do not know the name of, probably times new roman.
For the Back cover, I printed out a pattern from online and glued an yellow ribbon on it and kind of made it to create a smooth movement throughout the cover in order to match with the movement of the printout.

The inside pages

 For the left page, I used a cut-out from a magazine. It was an advertisement for perfume (which is why it smells like the perfume) for Macy's. I printed a few photos of myself and glued them onto the cut-out.
For the right side, I cut out random pieces from So So Happy and glued them into the page. I also cut a strip of unusable film and pasted it onto my page. I wrote "Lolz" onto the page to, I guess, to make the page seem more random and fun.

On the left, is a photo of me doing a side kick. I cut off the sides of film strips and pasted them onto the sides on the photo.
On the right, the coloring is actually from the bleeding watercolors on the other side. I then pasted on my photo of bells, which I incorporates the principle of design of movement very nicely.

On the left is the a watercolor painting. I at first made a rainbow, and then I dripped water into the center for it to lighten up for me to write on with a red pen.
One the right is a pencil drawing of a kind of self portrait of me. However rather than facial features, I drew emoticons because I'd like it to represent all of my different emotions rather than just one.

Art show

    In this piece, there is a girl in turquoise with a white tree behind her, and a border of black, curved lines. There is a white outline around the girl, creating contrast and an emphasis on her. The tree, being white, also creats contrast and emphasis. With contrast and emphasis on both sides of the piece, it creates balance. The borders and the girl's long hair create movement throughout the piece. The main objects are also not centered and are on the sides, which is good.
    I believe the artist is trying to represent mother nature. With one side white and the other black, this represents how nature is deteriorating.

Up close and personal ;p

     In this photo is Eve Rios and Karl Fulgencio. The two are standing beside a fence and Eve is closely behind Karl. Karl and Eve's dark clothing create contrast between them and the background. The two are also not centered and slightly are to the left side of the photo. The main focus is on the two. This was taken outdoor. The theme of this piece was up close and personal. I  was trying to convey a type of shadowing because it is always close and personal to you. In this case Eve and Karl's shadow. I believe this piece to be a success, however, I would like to make one change if I were to retake this photo. Possibly have a different backgrounds, one of less detail in order to create more of a focus on the two as well as having them stand further away because I feel that they are just too close to the camera.

Contact sheet :O

What am I supposed to write about here? D=
