Cally's art

This was a mockup magazine that i created in photoshop, then orginized in adobe indesign. I made a magazine that was supposed to be a magazine about how technology and science can be incorporated in and inspired by nature. the fact is that despite technology and nature usually being viewed as two seperate fields, often times they are inspired by one another. an example of this is that the first ever flying machine designs were inspired by birds. these machines are called ornithopters and they fly by flapping their wings. although none of those have been successfully made, it's an example of how nature inspires us to keep on creating.

ADS These ad designs really appeal to me, since they manage to get their message across really well, despite not using a human subject to demonstrate it as you often see, the layout is very minimalistic as well, which to me is appealing since it doesn't overcrowd the page with information. the simplistic photos also appeal since they are son minimal, but they tell so much about the product. the ebay ad shows its an online store by making a store window display into the screen of a phone as if the phone is the store, and the maybelline ad shows that it's makeup by having the brush and pallette in the picture, since the pallette is in the picture it also tells you what your getting, rather than showing what it's for, since we already know that. Spreads these magazine layouts really appeal to me due to their simplistic designs, and the use of negative space, the use of it makes you able to recognize what the article is talking about, and the addition of simp...

This was a piece that I made in my ceramics class between projects, it just came out of the kiln, and my goal with creating it was to give people something to associate the often devastating thoughts people have with depression and anxiety. For me my anxiety comes from the way I view things, i often fail to look at the brighter and simpler side of things, and i often find myself over exaggerating and over analyzing things. all these things are in my head, but its often hard to see this when it's happening, so when this happens it often feels like a parasite burrowing its way in, hence why it's an insect. My goal was giving people a physical thing to associate these thoughts with I sculpted this out of clay and i put a cinnamon underglaze over the whole thing. over the glaze i put a special golden glaze on all the details. then the only other colour i used was on the sclera of the eye where i used a white concept glaze to emphasize the iris.

Fine art portraits: These are two photos i took for this project, at first i never really planned for either of them to end up as the fine art portion of this project, but in the end i feel like i did a good job of showing how the fine art portraits can have a lot more freedom of expression, they allowed me to play around a lot more than in commercial portraits and sort of do whatever i want. the photos started out really bland and boring, i only really focused on the subject and failed to incorporate the background into a part of the picture as well. in the end i wanted the photo to less emphasize the person and more so challenge what a portrait is by having them be the main subject, but do most of my work on altering the environment around them.  in the first photo i used the mixer brush in Photoshop to make it look as if everything man made that was on the subject was painted, showing that these objects are pieces of art as well even if we take them for granted.

A fine art portrait is a picture of a person that a photographer has taken on their own agenda, instead of for something created by someone else. Fine art photos are ones that people take with the sole intent of creating art. This type of art shows a photographer's style and the way they do their work this type of art allows them to play around with lighting and other things in order to make the photo their own Catherine Opie this image provides an outlook on the harsh reality the queer community faces. often times we have to deal with abuse from both society and ourselves, which can sometimes lead to our inner pain manifesting as outward emotion such as depression and anxiety. David LaChapelle -- Behold to me this image portrays that even if one is idealized, they still face challenges. these challenges may leave you scarred, and you may often be targeted due to your status and popularity.

These are two photos that I had made for my photography class. for this project we aimed to recreate a surreal style of art. these photos show surrealism, since they show situations that can not exist in real life. The first photo actually glitched in the middle of making it, i liked the way it looked so i screen shotted it and overlayed it over the image that i had been working on. i also mirrored the image up and added a filter to it to make the sky look weird and impossible. The second photo I was experimenting with what I could do in order to make the sky look weird, so I cropped out the sky, and replaced it with an image which i then used a ton of filters on in order to make it look as  trippy and weird as possible. after that i thought that i needed to add something that would make people question it in some other way, so I added a giant hand, there's not much more to it than tha

Surrealism was a movement in the 1920s that focused on the minds natural ability to skew and warp reality in unlikely ways. the surrealist works often focused on dreams and fantasy worrlds where things weren't necessarily normal. a famous story of Salvador Al Dali is how he got the ideas for his works. when he was running low on ideas he would try to take a nap, but in his hand he would hold a key above a metal dish. this way so when he was just about to fall asleep he would drop the key and the sound would wake him up. Frida Kahlo -- Without Hope, 1945 Salvador Dali -- The Temptation of Saint Anthony, 1946 Although surrealism is often paintings as i show above, it can also be used in photography with the use of tools such as photoshop, we can create similar surreal scenes that might convey similar emotions.
