Composite 1- Land of the Giants
For this composite my vectors are the Platypus, the Meerkat and the Crane. For this image I wanted something slightly sinister, but in a docile or calm representation. To me, the unintentional damage that massive animals could create would be disasterous, but people would still flock to the see them. The fact they appear to be in a theme park could be like a Jurassic Park-esque response.
Composite 2- Treat Your Mind Like a Bad Neighbourhood, Never go There Alone
This composite I wanted to be threatening. My vector is the large open fire and loungeroom that the girls see before them. People that viewed this one did not understand it straight away, so hopefully I explain it enough here. I made the room very hazy and warm, but also slightly intangible, due to it only being an illusion, sort of acting as a metaphor to the warmth the lost little girls feel being with each other in this bad street.
Composite 3- The Grass is Greener on the Other Side
This one was extremely simple, however, I couldn't really think of anything more in-depth without carrying across the same sort of message. To me, this saying accompanies many people who are on the greener side, but do not know that they are, so in this I wanted to make sure that the view was defiantly showing the greener side, but a barred greener side. I intended for the a solid contrast between the dark and twisted wire fence, compared to the nice, lush and sunny side of the hills and the sign. The only vector in this image is my large sign behind the wire.
Composite 4- LOVE/HATE
To me, love and hate is all about contrast. Two opposites at the end of the spectrum, and for some bizarre reason I got the idea of doing this whole contrasting image with the sun and the moon. This involved placing the sun in a cloudy night sky against the moon in a sunny bright sky. The sun and the moon are the vectors in this image, and I decided to keep making it as opposing as possible by placing the two words on each star, but then gave them the opposite reflection, just to continue on with that reoccurring them as much as possible.
Composite 5- How the West was Won
Cowboys! That's exactly what I thought of when that sentence was said. I wanted a big epic cowboy gun fight, but I didn't exactly know how I could do it to pull off an effective image that also involved vectors. Then when Luke told us about taking our own photos for these composites, it just flashed to me that our class would be my cowboys, and I could vector their bodies! Weird, I know, but I'll take the epic design ideas where I can get them. So, long-story short, I got certain classmates permission (thank you very much!) and stuck their heads and poses onto vectored cowboy bodies. To finish off the photoshop effects I placed shadows, gunshots and a cepia-tone over the whole thing, just to finish off that ol' western feel. Yeehah!
