Photography level 2

My ideas for photography

I changed my idea, I'm doing makeup, fashion,  throughout the years eg. the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s etc. Still having the theme of Instagram with the love hearts, comments etc. I like the way 13 reason way photoshopped the Polaroids 

 So I wanted to do the same. how?, well I wanted to put the change images on the Polaroids and/or the most purposeful images. For example, the 50s had the "we can do it" poster  I want to recreate the poster on putting it on my board and Photoshop the fist on a Polaroid then try to connect it throughout my board.
I wanted to put flowers throughout my board too, but I'm not sure if I still want to do it. Because flowers symbolized beauty, love, compassion, warmth, it will brighten up my photography

my ideas have changed again. I'm doing a collage

 
something like this throughout my board. I have started to plan out my board:

I love how it has different lighting, it adds the effect of time throughout the years.  The top of the board. I took photos of my make up then put the makeup on my hand for the effect of me grading the makeup and putting make up on. I'm going to make a transition of model putting on makeup in between the college.

update on board.

Monday 10th Sep

For my second board, I want to put makeup and faces together like my college in my first Board. half the face at the top then makeup product at the bottom.  

 In these photos are my ideas for the board and more artist models that I looked up and was interested in. Also, little drawings for my board as I was writing notes. 

 As I was writing down the artist models names I looked up what type of photography style, whats their famous photo, how they become well known, eg. photojournalist, graphic artist. I wrote about what I liked about the photo, the colour the contrast between different artist model.







The next few photos are my printing of the artist models photo and writing about the photo. I describe the photos how I saw it. For example, how the model in the picture has nice professional styled hair, how the colours connected. I also liked how some photos promote women power and some pictures have bright, colorful pictures.

In these photos is my layout for my board. it didn't look like my board layout now. because I found out that it too many pictures to take and connect to.

I keep changing my mind about the layouts. I worked out what works and what didn't work, what I liked and what I didn't like.

As I was planning my layout I made sure that I write down note of my next step for the second board. My notes were completely different.

 This is my practice photos. I never used these photos because I had a different idea back then. My idea was a zodiac sign and different types of zodiac signs. 

example board from 2016 analysis

2016 example of the board

The theme is war history.  At first the picture is of a book pages and then the next picture is of a women. I think it represents the women having history behind her , she had history to tell. The medals in the next few picture is relating to the war history because she worked hard  and bravery in the wars times . I like it when the hand opens up to show the medal and she holding the medals. The medals connects with the  photos with the picture on the table and its bury background and the medals were not , so its more forces on the medals. Therefore this means to me , The photographer  is trying to show the memories of the past. Then the pictures are on the table but it has the women looking at the them and in the next few picture shes looking and touching them. The photography are not one big picture. They'er all separated like , one part of the picture is focus on the photo frame in the corner  

Like this, they'er separated but they are still one picture.


The bottom of the board the medal came back. Again the medals are not blurred and the background is and the blurred background is pictures of the women, pictures of the women and that's connects  with the medals with the pictures on the table. And the photographer did an before and after photo of the lady,When she was in war and after the war.
Again the photographer of showing us the women of her the army, the lady is holding the picture while smiling. Next the lady is holding up pictures of where she been back in the old days, and what changed or if anything has changed. The lady is holding up a picture of her-self in front of a building. BY the next couple of photo I think that's where she got married and her  husband died. The wedding photos has little white dots and the photographer connect it and showed me that its suppose to related. Then the next few photo is of the women holding up the pictures again in front of the build but with different pictures. The photographer use Photoshop.  They photo-shopped the women in front of the building . It has colour in the photo , all the other photos is black and white with a brown tint to it. I think the black and white helps with the theme because back in the old days, T.V and photos were black and white.

The highlight theme is Instagram with a twist of Zodiac style. I'm focusing on the zodiac signs , personalty: each zodiac sign has a different personal emotions. Zodiac has different meanings too, make-up,fashion. I want to put this in photographs and try to express each to most  zodiacs. I'm probably  not going to use all. And I  also want to put a twist of Instagram style. E.g the love hearts , comments , sharing, The type of groups on Instagram like make up artist , different types of fashion, the love of animals, music etc. The style of medium is B&W photograph . But I am going to do Photoshop like Barbara Kruger.  And a little bit of abstract. 

Barbara Kruger  

The visual Symbols are the zodiac signs. The most used zodiac is probably Aquarius because that's mine zodiac sign. but I also like Libra and Leo styles.

My artist model both stylistic and conceptual. J. Howard Miller and Alfred Eiesnstaedt  are the art models that i'm looking at right now. Alfred Eiesnstaedt is the most "go to" artist model because he make realistic photo, My 3rd is Barbara Kruger and shes a "go to"model too ,  because she  uses real photograph and Photoshop them. I want to use Photoshop too. Barbara uses real life problems and put them into a picture with  a short sentences, and J Howard Miller uses real life problems too. Alfred Eiesnstaedt  uses real life photos. what I'm getting here is I want too use real values ,real people,animals in my picture, even still they're Photo-shopped. I know zodiac is not real per-say. But same people believe in them and I think its cool a concept and theme. Instagram is a really cool way to show off your pictures and/or what you created. I don't want to make it Instagram themed but i do want a hint of it. People use Instagram to showoff zodiac personalty and fashion , make up etc. That can help me with my folio board.

zodiac make up
I'm not planning on making the beauty side of things,  too out there because I'm no that good at make up but I'm good enough to to the basics.

Barbara Kruger and Alfred Eiesnstaedt's photograph works well with my Ideas to put on the board. what works well is how they took it. I like it when Alfred catcher the realism and Barbara Photoshopped the meaning behind the message of the person. That linked in with my though of using Zodiac, Each Zodiac has a meaning/message. If it doesn't work I will try to find a other way to represent Zodiac like , the colours , photoshop the definition on my photo's.

"we can do it " J. Howard miller

" we can do it''

by J. Howard Miller 

 May 29 1943 , 55.88cm x 43.18cm 

poster

This work was made produced by J. Howard Miller . Miller grew up during the WW2  and he was inspired by the works of Norman Rockwell. Miller used the passion and creative towards this poster "we can do it ". This poster was a propaganda in WW2 for the Westing house electrics , it was used to promote feminism 

The success of the war effort  depended on the women who took over the factors jobs. J. Howard Miller create this poster for the women efforts and for the changing of the changing perspective of women. "we can do it " changed the public message about women. J.Howard Miller  represent the symbol of female patriotism. 

This poster was a advertisement for women working in Westing house electrics  helping to build and or make war equipment, etc. The poster would be everywhere in the states of America. This poster was made in California , where J. Howard Miller made the poster.  

With her  pouted lips ,high cheek bones , sturdy eyed look and a saucy curl falling right from her polka dotted bandanna, showing off her arm to represent strong power toward women. Rosie the riveter is known for the most attentive war propaganda poster of WW2. Her expression made me feel like I can do anything. I feel like wearing the bandanna make this photo more dominant looking and the war uniform  make it more powerful. I guess that's what they wore in the factory .

The bright Yellow background show off the bright colours off the red and blue. I like it because its not dark and its show off in public eye. The uniform is a war factory shirt. The shading , to me helps with the message of dominant. The deep blue and light blue indicates the shadow, and the shadow helps with the arms too, because her arm looks more forewomen. She influence the women to stray strong in the factors for the men at war. 

Her emotion/expression is showing the tough side of  women. To me , this means if she was smiling and putting up her arm  it wouldn't  be as dominate looking and the poster would turn into "rejoicing delight women  helping the men poster" and the women wouldn't get the respect that they have now in 2018 than 1940s and wouldn't get the respect for the war efforts . I think this poster benefit women rights therefore its shows us women can do more than clean ,cook , looking after children etc.
