Stop Animation Final

This is my final stop animation made by Kendra Witherspoon, Katie Brown, and I.  We wanted to show the meaning of true beauty, which is at the beginning of the video.  Then we put make up on Kendra and showed how she transformed.

Definition of Beauty

Beauty: something that is pretty or attractive or pleasing to a person.

Commercial and Artistic Portraits

This is my commercial picture that I used for a magazine cover.  I think that it is more commercial than artistic because the subject is holding a mascara wand, therefore she could be selling the mascara.  I used this theme to make a cover for a make-up magazine.  Then I added other subtitles under the title to attract the reader and make them want to read the rest of the magazine.  I used the color yellow because it is bright and attracts the eye.

I think that this is my best artistic portrait.  I like the blue color theme in the picture and how the pool reflects in the subject's eyes.  By looking at this picture, you can assume that the subject likes to be around the water.  The use of rule of thirds is in play with the pool cover rolled up behind her head and the pool dividers floating in the pool.  I also liked the lighting in the picture because it was very sunny.

Best three portraits

I like this picture because it shows her personality, and also her environment, because you can tell she is sitting by a pool on a sunny day.  I liked the lighting from the sun reflecting off of the pool and the blue theme throughout the picture.  I also liked the tree in the background to give more contrast.  The reflection of the blue of the pool is very pretty in the corner of her eyes as well. 

I like this picture because I edited it to bring out the blue in her eyes.  It is from a good angle of her and it has a classic black background. The blue theme in the picture is pretty in my opinion and is striking compared to the black.  I turned the clarity down a little bit to soften her face and the lines in the picture. 

I think that this portrait is nice because there is good lighting from the snow outside the window, and you can tell that she is deeply thinking about something that is outside the window.  I turned up the contrast and also added fill light because the picture was too dark.  I think that it is still dark, but it adds to the mystery of the picture.

Daguerrotype

This is my daguerrotype photo that I edited on Photoshop.  A daguerrotype was the first successful photographic process where the picture was made on a silver surface sensitized with iodine was developed by exposure to mercury vapor.
