Hallway Plan Challenge



For my first hallway street sign I chose to use the shape of a sword because it symbolizes our Crusaders logo.  I used the sword mainly for the Crusader Country sign for the gym.  The sword street sign could be used to point towards the direction of the hallway and symbolize part of the Crusaders logo at the same time.  I used the colours navy and golden yellow in the sign to represent our Crusader colours.  Since the sword street sign would be hard to symbolize the street names for Stairway to Heaven and some others, I also chose to make a simple sign using the same navy and golden yellow colours, but including the Crusader logo under the room numbers.  Both signs could be used in the creation of the street signs because they both include our school colours and representations of our school logo. 

Pig Art

Pig Art 1

Pig Art 2



For my pig art, I decided to use Eric Johansson's technique to create my pictures.  I used two different backgrounds from the Internet to create two different moods for my pictures.  The sunny background was to set a happier and brighter mood, and the cloudy background sets a more calm mood. The picture I chose of the pig was originally flying in the air, but by turning him on his back it looked like he was being thrown up by the blanket. I took my own pictures in my backyard of my step sister and I throwing a blanket into the sky.  Out of my of the pictures I took, this one worked best because the wind caught part of the blanket making it look like something was there pushing it down.  Out of both pictures I like the first one better because it sets a better and happier mood then the second one, I think it would give more of a positive vibe towards the Ontario Pork Congress.

Poetry cover assignment

For my poetry cover I decided to create an overall picture that would work well and help explain the title of the poetry cover.  When I thought of the poetry title "My Thoughts, My Expresstions, My Poetry", I thought of thoughts, and fireworks and poetry.  In my picture I chose to show a picture of a book to represent the poetry that the students wrote, I chose fireworks to represent expressions, and clouds to represent thoughts.  I also added in some musical notes and a butterfly to look like they are coming out of the poetry book along with the fireworks to show ideas and expressions that are coming from the messages found in the poetry.

CD Cover

Original CD Cover

CD Cover 1

CD Cover 2

For my CD cover I decided to remake a cover for Taylor Swift's Fearless album.  The reason behind my cover was to match the theme of the album name.  I chose to show a girl jumping off a cliff fearlessly and freely because it clearly represents her album name.  Taylor Swift is also popular for the country music that she sings which I thought would be displayed well by a peaceful setting instead of a clustered city.  When I listen to most of Taylor Swift's music, it reminds me of summer and happiness which is also why the setting  of my cover displays someone jumping off a cliff in the summer time.  The CD cover with the faded out rainbow in the background is my favourite out of the two because it adds the most colour, and it also fits the overall picture better.  I think that a CD cover that explains the reason behind her album name "Fearless" would be a better representation than her original one where being "Fearless" isn't displayed. 

Triptych

Triptych 1

To begin my Triptych, I began by taking random pictures outside.  I chose to take random pictures in the nature for my Triptych because I thought that they would be an interesting object with different textures.  For my first Triptych I changed the colour of my pictures completely to make them more interesting.  I chose the colour purple to be the main colour of all the pictures because it gave the overall picture a cool calm feeling.  It also gave all three pictures something in common which helped tie them together.  I liked using this technique for this picture because it made it look more interesting by highlighting different parts of the plants and objects with different shades of purple, and in some parts blue.  

Triptych 2

For my second Triptych I decided to over express the colours in each picture.  I used the enhance modifier to brighten the colours in each picture which also helped tied the pictures together.  In this Triptych I used the rule of 1/3 to help evenly separate each picture
