ad council

I took these photos of my sister, Ella. These photos were taken inside and outside my house and at Mercy on Friday afternoon. Basically our assignment was to create a campaign for the ad council. My slogan was, “Don’t follow the crowd, be unique and proud!” I completed this assignment by first picking out eight of my favorite outfits. I then asked my sister to model them for me. I had locations in mind as I was choosing clothes, so I knew where to go. I told my sister the emotions I wanted to get out of each shot and she did so accordingly. I chose fashion as my campaign because it is something that relates to everyone. All people are different and I believe that fashion helps enhance their individuality. By taking pictures of unusual outfits I was able to show how people can demonstrate their uniqueness with their clothing. This shows unity because each picture revolves around fashion. It also shows color because of the vibrant outfits.

ad shot

I tried to take an advertisement of pixie sticks. I emptied out all of the pink, blue, and purple packets and place it in a cool looking glass. I then put the orange packets in the glass, while they were still safely enclosed in their packets. I put the glass on top of my fireplace in order to get a plain background at arond 6:00pm. Our assignment was to take a picture that would be designed for an advertisement. I wanted to try and make the shot different and unique, so I chose pixie sticks. This picture shows unity because the words and the images complete the ad and make it one photo. This picture also shows color by the colorful words and pixie powder. (this photo was impossible to post because it was edited and became an indd)



toyyyyy

I took this photo of Hermoine Granger, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley. They are my friend's toys. I took this photo against the wall, but photoshoped it to make the background dark gray so as to provide a sense of unity. I took it on Saterday morning around 7:00am. I created this image by shooting each person individually and merging them together on photoshop. I used the macro setting to make the image in focus. Since I did not own any cool toys, I remebered seeing these in my friend's house, so I asked if I could photograph them.....and I DID! I love the harry potter books....so seeing the doll version was cool......so i picked them for my toy project. This picture shows unity by the way that each are wearing the same uniform and by the way that the background complements their uniforms. This also shows space because the people are postive space since they are in the front and the background is negative since it is in the back.
