3rd marking peroid

For this project I used the photo below to help me create my idea. I really liked having the text over the globe but I didn't want to go out and find a globe that I liked without having to pay a lot. What I ended up doing was going into photoshop and I created a 2D stand for a globe and then I found a pattern that I liked for the circle of the world. I then added my own text on the inside and then I took that image that I created and I projected it onto a canvas and I traced the image. I decided to use gold to paint everything because I wanted something that would stand out and be seen. Gold means love, courage, passion and wisdom. To make your mark on the world you have to have love for the people in the world, courage to do the right thing, passion to keep on trying to make a mark while everyone has given up and wisdom. The wisdom is because you have to realized that everything that you do can make a difference.

make your mark. 3rd marking period

I really like how this project turned out in the end. It was hard to get the model is a position that I really liked. A lot of the photos it didn't look like the model was truly looking like she had done something that she shouldn't have and was sneaking away with a smug look on her face. I really like the meaning behind my projects recently. I enjoy the fact that it has a true meaning behind it.

For this project I decided to have the background in black in white because I wanted to show that the world is a plain place and unless we all make our mark it will stay that way. I wanted to show that the person in the photo was making their mark on the world which is why they are in color in a world in black and white. To make the painted area try to blend into the wall I took brushes that have paint splatters and I placed them around the wall and then I created a path from the the persons hand to the paint to show that they were the one who had created that.

Once you find your way to make your mark on the world never stop making it.

Idea for project

The photo above I took a photo from the internet to see if I would like my idea that I had seen in my head. I then took a paint splash and put my text over top. I liked being able to create my idea before I do my project that way I have a solid idea of what I want to do once I start on my project.

Make your mark on the world 3MP

For this project I wanted to show how people can make their mark on the world. I originally wanted to use one of my own photos in the background but I didn't think that it made a big enough point. So I decided to use a photo that I scanned in from a book. I used a photo of a medical soldier trying to help a man because even though the soldier isn't the one out on the battle field fighting, he is still making a mark. For all he knows, he is saving a man who could eventually have a huge impact on the world himself. Even if what you do doesn't seem as "drastic" as saving a mans life, what you do can still make a mark on the world. I used a map on the words because it doesn't matter where you are in the world, you can still make a mark. The other letters where the map isn't on the letters I made lighter because the more you help the world the better it will be for others. You are making a mark, a good mark on the world. No matter what you do, you make a mark on the world. Even if its a small thing like holding the door for someone else. It still makes a mark. Everything you do as you go about your day makes a mark. So make sure its a good one.

I like this project because of the meaning behind it, but I also don't like it because of how simple it was. I like doing projects that are really in-depth in photoshop and this one wasn't that hard. I had the letters run off the page to show that the image in the background isn't the only way of helping the world. Its like there is more to the story that you cant see, for all you know there are other people in the photo making a mark different ways. It was meant to show that anything you do can make a mark.
