I would recreate this image by using stuff animals instead and recreate these two photos

B. Describe your plans for your self-proposed final project (if the plan is the same as before, paste it here again and give a bit more detail). During the final critique for Assignment #5, you will discuss/present these ideas to the class.

 For my self-proposed final project I am going to take pictures of the city of Lansing and place a picture of me in the feilds in front of it.  It will be more of explaining the country and the city

The ways that I construct my identity are the way I dress and my daily routine are ways that I perform my identity.
My personal and enviromental culture is constructed by the way that I communicate with people around me and the things that I do when I hang out with my friends and when I am around my family.
My physical ways are instructed by the way the things that I do in daily life like excersising to stay healthy.
The things that I would considered real are the way that I am when it comes to my family. Fabricated is the way that I act around people that I hardley know.
A narrative would be two people growing up together and showing there whole life together marriage,kids,home.vacations and then becoming grandparents.
An idea for a photographer to do a stage or still life would be to make food out of clothes.

Critiqu 2: For my evalution the audience suggest that the actual picture that was printed was to be brightend and less dark. The picture of all of the jewelery and the girl suggested it to be a series or a series of an advertisment. The audience suggest that the picture could be in a magazine selling a necklace. In the actual picture the audience suggest that I the picture should show more detail of the heart and the metal surrounding the heart.

Critique 2: The audience suggest that the actual picture was too dark and that it should be lighted up more.The pearsl should be less bright around in the dark areas. The audence also sugested that there should be text in the bottom right hand corner to fo along with the series of advertising jewlery. The audience suggest that the picture could be in a jewlery store poster, brochure, pamplet and magazine.

Critique 2:The auduenced suggested that the actual picture was not so darked and that the pearls are very soft in the picture. It is really hard to see the texting in the word pearls as well the words should be tested in white. The logo in the bottom right hand corner looked very nice not being there like the original our; The audience suggested that the picture can be take for a magazine or for a book for jelewlers in there store.

Blog Post #20

A&B.. If I could create a series photographic images it would be of a movie scene. The movie scene would have lots of movement in the scene and it would also be taken in the city because there are a lot of great objects that you can capture. The scenes will take place at night to get the city lights and it would also have a few texting involved in the beginning and ending of the scene. The pictures will have all of the quality of assignments that we have learned about in class. I have been brain storming ideas of the cities to capture the pictures at. Some of the cities include Lansing, Traver City and Detroit. All these places have great sky scrappers and lots of city lights,

Picture 1 Composition: The picture is trying to portray advertisement for being happy and open. I didnt do any cropping within the framework because the way the picture was taken it did not need any cropping. Concept/Aboutness/Idea: The idea of the picture is to advertise being happy and motivated. The picture is of a flower blossoming open showing happyness. My motivation for taking this picture was to describe culture and socialism and ethnicity. I did not want to take any pictures of people smiling because I wanted to show the diversity of everyone. 

Picture 2 Composition: The picture is portraying a photo of Miss Teen Grand Rapids in her fitting room getting ready for her show. The people in the back ground are the girls getting ready for the show as well. I did a little bit of cropping to not show majority of the face but to show the diamond earrings

Concept/Concept/aboutness/idea: The idea of the picture was to show the advertisement of jewelery. My motivation of creating this portrait was to show the meaning of socialism and advertising.

Picture 3. Composition: The picture is advertising the dress that Miss teen is wearing. I did some cropping to show beauty of the bow and the details of the dress. Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I took this portrait because I wanted to show the beauty of diversity. My motivation of creating this photo was to show the meaning of beauty and the focus of advertisement of the dress.
