WEEK 05

Concept:

I was trying to place the two things women love the most, which in my opinion is shopping and shoes. So I placed them both in a photo. I put them in a cart to show make it look like a day of shoe shopping.

COMPOSITION:

I choose to put the gray boots in the main focus of the frame because I found them most interesting because of its texture and hue. So I put them next to mostly black shoes to show the contrast between them.

CRAFT:

This one is similar to last weeks but I went into more details. For example on the gray boots I wanted to make them more realistic so I made the shadows on the shoe instead of having a plain gray shoe. I use my pen tool to draw the basic shape of the shadows. Then I used the eye dropper tool to color all the shadows the same color. After that I used the effect of feather to blend the shoe in with the shadow so it wont awkward. More details that I used were on the plaid shoe instead of drawing every little plaid square. I placed a solid color down first to color the shoe. Then I used the line segment tool to just draw lines and cross them. I then made the basket with two different shades of blue using the eyedropper tool. them went in and made little black squares to make it look like the black shadows in between each gap.

I was show what women love to do by putting their favorite things together in one photo. I tried tried to put shopping and shoes because those are two of the things that women love the most. Mostly every woman loving shopping, most of all shopping for shoes.

CRAFT:

First I started making the gray boots with the basic shape of the shoes using the pen tool. Then I picked the color of the shoes by using the eye dropper tool. I used the same color for both shoes. After that I got into details of the light gray parts of the shoe also using the pen tool to draw and eye dropper to color. I then made the background which is a bunch of black shoes. I then used the pen tool to draw the next shoe which was plaid but I didst know how to make it look plaid so i left it one color. After that i drew the black nike in the background. First I Made the general shape of the black shoe. Then Made the inside of the sole layer making it a gray color. Then got into details with the Nike sign and logo. After that I choose to make the shoe strings gray because black was not standing out. Finally I made the shopping basket.

COMPOSITION:
