Colorization

Colorization
Originally, I had chosen another image that had a lot more detail and focal points. I decided to switch to this black and white photo because I felt as though the mom brushing her daughter's hair was the primary focal point.The mom and daughter are in darker colors to draw your eye to them first. In this project specifically, I found it to be very difficult to match skin tone. If I had the opportunity to do this project over again, I would have liked to use a lighter nude color on the girl. I chose to color the toy in traditional red, green and yellow because it mirrors what would have been used in this time period for toys. The dark tones of the woods in the back made it difficult to add color to them. I think that this picture could have used some more shading and highlights to accentuate more of the finer details.

Logos

John Iaccarino Logos This project was one of the most tedious assignments that we were given during the class. I found it to be easiest to separate the image into sections before copying it. This helped break up the image and provide clear guidelines to copy. The colors chosen in the image were taken directly from the logo that was being copied. This allowed me to properly duplicate the image to the best of my ability.

Canvas Exercise

John Iaccarino Canvas Exercise Rectangle Triangle The canvas exercise prepared me to complete the canvas landscape project by teaching me the basics of coding. I made an intentional effort to use differing colors that allowed the shapes to stand out. For the triangles, I chose to utilize basic colors that I knew I could use later on in the landscape project. This provided me with sample code that I could implement in the landscape. The triangles gave me room to be more creative. I utilized the online RGB color picker to help me choose what colors to use. By utilizing this tool it taught me how to use color to match and emphasize different things.

Cut and Paste

John Iaccarino Cut and Paste This project gave me a lot of freedom to do whatever I wanted. I focused on utilizing animals and flowers to fill the space. When choosing images to use, I looked for pictures that were high quality and where the focal point was clearly defined from the background. I added Miley Cyrus to the picture because she has a wild personality just like the animals. I was cautious of how each item would fill the space. This allowed me to strategically place the images in a way that made them work. The images chosen for this cut and paste assignment allowed to overall vibe to be bright and happy.
