Garden Photos

In our Cyber ARTS class we just started doing photography. What we had to do is go out and take photos of the garden we have a our school and touch them up later. She didn't tell us much more on how to work things and sent us on our way after we were done we went to look at all the photos we took.When our teacher looked at them she was very surprised that even without teaching us much camera techniques all our photos looked very good. So these are some of my best photos taken

This first photo I think is very nice. The focus on the wood leads your eye upward to the main focus of the picture while the background also leads you eye to the main focus because of the tiers. The photo has you looking straight up and down since everything is right on top of each other but still highlights the main focus because it's the brightest most colourful thing there.

This second photo is nice because it uses the rule of thirds which is really nice on your eyes, It's

also nice because the subject highlight itself because it's the most outstanding colour in the photo. The colour of the eggplant also makes you feel calm so it makes the photo look nicer. The outstanding colour also helped focus more towards the eggplant than the other things. 

I like like this photo for a few different reasons. first being the angle. I think the angle really helps this photo and makes it look unique. Which leads me into another thing I like about it. The angle and way the rims are placed leads your eye from the far right to the far left. I also think that it's a nice photo because even though a lot of things are happening in this photo, they blend together so it doesn't look too crowded.

This photo is good for it's colours and focus. the focus is really good in this photo because it highlights the main subject by the background being blurry. While the colours are really good on the eye and helps keep the focus on the main subject which in the case are the flowers. Therefore the focus and colours help each other which makes this photo look nice  

This last photo I like for the angle and the way the lighting was. I like the way the angle was because it makes you feel small and it makes the object look bigger. I liked how this affect looked when it came to these trees. The lighting was good on this photo because there was not to much and not to little of light coming from the gaps in the leaves 

not to mention that the aperture that I set the camera to highlights the natural light which highlights the tree very nicely 

Even though some of these photos look pretty nice I can't wait till I am able to learn how to do more things with photography and make my photos look 100 times better since it's really fun and interesting to do and learn about. Thank you for reading and ill see you in the next post!

Logo Assignment

 For this assignment we had to make a logo out of a real photo. The photo had to connect to you in some way. So for my logo I chose a chicken. Why did I choose a chicken? Well my blog name (noodle doodle doo) which is a pun on cockadoodledoo. which is the famous sound a rooster makes. since a rooster is a male version of a chicken I choose a chicken to put a my logo because it just makes sense with my name.

this is the original photo

This my (final) version of the picture that I made in illustrator. I tried to put in all the major shapes that stood out from the original and put it in to my own instead of going through each and every individual bump and feather. I did this because we only had I a certain amount of time to finish it but I didn't want it to not look like a chicken. I think this was a good choice on my part because even though it's not the most detailed thing ever you can still see the resemblance which was my goal.

The outlines are all different sizes to put emphasis on some areas more than others and to make it look better because some areas looked good with a certain line size but other areas didn't look good with the same line size.

As for the colors of this one I tried to make it as close to the original colors as possible. I think this was my favorite color scheme out of the others I tried because like the more realistic qualities to balance out the cartoon features.I also think it's more visually good  to look at then the other ones I tried and they just felt natural and putting funny colors wouldn't help it  

 

These were the other color schemes I played with. Even though I didn't like these one as much as I did my final one, some of them still turned out pretty good but not really what i was looking for and since I wanted to one to use one as my blog logo these didn't really fit in with my blog. Still nice to see the variables and how good or bad it looks in each color.        

 

Lastly these are gray scale and black and white versions that we were asked to do as Part of our assignment. Which I think turned out better than some of the color scheme ones. 








I learned a lot of tips and trick on illustrator and how to fix some problems that I encountered. For my very first thing made with illustrator I'm proud of it and I am now a little more confident with using illustrator. This assignment was stressful but fun to see the result and i can't wait for another adventure in illustrator.
