This is my project for Heavy Metal Music Revival. I feel that over the past several years too much of the music industry has gone main stream and heavy metal music has slowly faded out.
 The pictures arent that good but I will be able to post a better picture on Monday...just wanted to have it posted before Sunday.

Color Project

Here is my color wheel and hue scales for this week. Some of the colors are a little hard to see due to my camera but there isnt much I can do short of a new camera !!

Hue Test

I think im color blind...lol

Week 12 : Value

This project was quite interesting and I had alot of fun working this up in Gimp. It was a bit difficult at times to determine the proper value to use for giving detail for shading and dimension. I think it turned out quite well.

Space - Aerial Perspective

This picture of a canyon is a good example of aerial perspective. We can see with this example how the detail of the canyon walls and such are very distinct in the foreground with rich colors of earthy reds and browns, but as the image fades into the background the details of the crevices and the walls fade out of focus and seem to just become shades of darker greys and blues. As you can see on the horizon, there is no distinct detail seen only the darker outlines of the peaks and the walls.

Space - Exaggerated Size

This image of a full moon rising over the horizon is from a role-playing game involving werewolves. The seemingly massive moon utilizes exaggerated size to create the visual sense of illusionary space. The moon is appears massive and overwhelming rising above the horizon of trees that look abnormally small against the rising moon behind them.

Space - Linear Perspective

 I found several images online by this particular artist that uses linear perspective in his designs. With this sense of space the images give a sense of the object moving off into the horizon to a vanishing point, or perhaps the balls falling down into a hole or flying off into a tunnel.

Motion - Blurred Lines

In this screen shot of two race cars, we can see how the use of blurred lines can create the sense of motion. The cars appear to be moving quickly around the track because all around the actual cars, everything else is blurred and the track seems to “streak”. Even the tires are blurred giving further implication of the cars moving.

Motion - cropped image

In this image of an advertisement for Nike running shoes, you can see the use of a cropped image to give a sense of motion in the picture.  The positioning/posture of the legs give a strong visualization that the person is running. The front foot and leg is further cropped to give a further and stronger sense of the person running off the image.

Motion - multiple images

This image is an example of usage of multiple images to show motion. In this example of dancer, Patricia McBride, you see a sequence of different, overlapping  poses and a slight change in the position of the body, particularly the arms and legs. This visual effect implies a strong sense of motion.
