Mood Board-Carefree (Final)

Mood board Part I: Research

For the final project my word I chose was carefree. I see carefree as being like a happy-go-lucky, uplifted mood. It reminds me a lot of the beach and childhood (kids can go and go and not have a care in the world.) I also imagine like daydreaming.

For carefree I see bright colors, like oranges, pinks, yellows, and purples.

Mood board Part IV: Execution

1. Places:  I plan to take a day trip to the beach to get pictures of the ocean and the road trip itself down there.

2.    Textures: I plan on taking textures I come across when on this “carefree” trip.

3. Objects/people: I plan to take pictures of my sister playing and objects I come across when on this trip.

Mood board Part V:  Bringing it together

As previously mentioned, I plan on making a day trip out of this project and taking pictures of the beach and incorporating in pictures of this “carefree” trip. I also got inspiration from the song “Float On” by Modest Mouse to make one of the images be my sister “floating off” holding a ton of balloons.

America-Places

America Mood Board

Mood board Part I: Research

America- I perceive America as being a melting pot of lots of different things and people. It also represents freedom and the “American Dream” (white picket fences). I think of outdoor activities, such as picnics and sports.

Mood board Part III: Colors

Colors I think of with America include red, white, blue, and green.

Mood board Part IV: Execution

1. Places:  I plan to go to Indiantown Gap to take pictures at the nation cemetery because they have lots of monuments there. I also plan to take pictures at a picnic ground.

2.    Textures: I plan to go around my house and surrounding area to try and find some green grass areas. I also plan to go walking around the nature trail near the local elementary school to get the nature-y textures.

3. Objects: For objects I took pictures down in Washington D.C. and at the National Cemetery.

Mood board Part V:  Bringing it together

I plan to make one of my pictures of a picnic and incorporate in different sports objects. For my other image I plan to incorporate in the idea of the “American Dream”.

I will add in textures to the car picture to make it seem vintage and will add in textures to the monument picture to make it more summer-y so it seems more around Fourth of July.

I plan to add car like objects to the car image and other household items that remind me of America and pictures from around DC (such as small parts of monuments and common surroundings) that are patriotic to the monument picture.

Thunderstorm-Final Images

I used a base image of the car in the yard. My textures were the leaves under the trees and the clouds in the windows. My objects were the electrical tower and the umbrella. And my colors were yellow and orange.

My base image was the road. My textures were the grass and an overlay of a crumpled bag. My objects were my sister walking with the umbrella and the pole. My colors were black on the road and blue in the distance.
