LO5: Final 5 Pieces

 

Moving Forward

The photo is meant to represent the fact that ever since technology has further improved over the years, vehicular modes of transport has become a very important part of our lives travelling from one place to another. The photo displays a building as to which represents how are technology has improved and serves to be an example of a location that people tend to travel to. The wall that the building is displayed in is what has a hold on the vehicles we use travel, which has a considerably aged look due to how long the service has been made available and in turn reflects how long we have relied on such services for.

Connection

This photo represents how time is still the deciding factor as to what happens to architecture. Both bridges display considerable age but only one has displays more physical breakdown the other. This photo was put together so that whoever is viewing, they will subconsciously start comparing how one architecture is different to the other. This effect is enforced further because of the fact that the bridge from the left is seems like it is blending on the bridge on the right. Time is reflected through how corroded and blackened the bridges are. Despite the fact that one bridge is clearly older than the other, the bridge on the left has shown considerable damage. It just means that the form of technology and architecture style at the time was unable to keep up with the time.

Overtime

The photo was made to look like this because it is to reflect how styles of architecture has improved over time. The photo was made to go from left to right concerning the lighthing. This was to ensure that people viewing this photo would automatically pan across the image left to right, noticing the increase in lighting the more they veer towards the right. The light is meant to represent how buildings have been made to reflect people's status and how it may seem that their lives are prosperous in some way. However, I made the colours of the windows to be similar due to the fact that no matter the situation of any person at the time, everyone still has the same sky to look up to. I decided to use the pipe on the building from the left to seemingly cut the buildings apart and display the different in designs even further. The windows are different but that doesn't change the fact that if anyone looks outside of these windows, they will always see the same sky as everyone else.

Generations

The building that are displayed in this photo are the representations of 3 different generations of architecture. I simulated a seamless effect in which the 3 buildings look like as if they are just purely one building but in different styles. With the way I created the image, I try to evoke a very similar emotion in which the person will notice that the windows reflect the very same sky that everyone will see. The emotion I'm trying to convey is empathy. Another effect I created is the seperate colours of the windows compared to the rest of the photo. People's eyes will be naturally drawn towards where there are colour, to which the left side displays a rather abundant amount of colour whereas towards the left, there is but one single noticeable colour. This is to reflect that over several generations of architecture, the buildings may have improved in aesthetics but it has lost it's colour due to being the same as any other building;  it is just another form of itself.

Vice Versa

The way I have edited this photograph is to emulate a face-to-face building to create a comparison between the 2 buildings I have decided to edit. This photo is meant to represent the way that the 2 seperate buildings could become either one. For instance, the building on the left, if left unnattended could become broken down just like the building on the left. However, the same can be said in the opposite for the building on the right: it could become a building like the one on the left if given proper reformation and consideration. I tried to reflect the building style of the left one onto the windows on the left just to create a sense of authenticity. The lighting was also to add to that effect and I added a gradient style colouring to make it seem like both buildings are in the same location. 

Display Options
My photos will most likely be displayed on canvas with sizes of 20" by 50". This is compensate for the original size being too large and create a smaller area of focus. The reason I would feature the photos in smaller size because of the fact that each photo covers quite wide areas and I want the viewer to be able to see the entirety without having to look around as much.
