Assignment 4

I took out the text on the shampoo bottle so that it would look less like an advertisement. Then after the first improvements I went on to the hue/saturation. Then selected areas with the rectangular marquee and elliptical marquee tool to make more specific changes. During all the changes I stuck mainly to color changes, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast and black and white. I then skewed part of the shampoo bottle. Since the shampoo is coconut scented I chose a tropical theme with the flowers. The color choices enhance the overall tropical/psychedelic feeling.

Assignment 3

I chose the "tropical" background of my purse. Since the fragrance of the shampoo is more feminine I wanted to pair it with flowers. The white of the bottle also goes with the white on the purse. The gold lid of the shampoo also compliments the yellow background.
















The shampoo is overlapping in this image because it makes for a better composition. Since the flowers in the background are relatively close I wanted to continue in that sense. It creates a fun point of view.

Assignment 2

I stood further away and got a low view of the shampoo. I placed it by my door and stood back by my bed.















This is an aerial view. I laid my shampoo face up on the floor then stood above it for the shot.











I got up close at eye level for this shot. I cut off the top of the shampoo to create a more interesting image.












This one I placed on my cutting board then got underneath. The shampoo bottle towers because of the point of view.















This is an up close 3/4 view of the shampoo bottle. Since the face of the bottle had been shown in the other images I wanted to change the view.















This is a front on shot from eye level. Although this shot is simple it still came out very well.

Item Description

I chose coconut scented shampoo as my subject for the photo project.  It claims that when you wash your hair it is like taking a "trip to the tropics".

Assignment 1

Since being at Moore I have had very demanding classes as opposed to my community college classes. I enjoy the challenge my classes present, they motivate me to do my best. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming. I've felt more comfortable than I thought I would since the start of the semester.
