Reading Is Magical

I chose to focus on the experience of reading Matilda by Roald Dahl.

I want to promote reading a specific book because this book in particular is about the idea of reading but also a little girl that had to grow up at such a young age and has the ability to move things with her mind.

Reading is a unique way to transform what you are picturing in your mind and bringing it to life.

My concept for my design is to to represent what Matilda is thinking about and trying to get away from when she reads.

The composition of this image is asymmetrical in balance.

There is a sense of emphasis of the furniture and the people because they are popping out of the book.

Eye movement is created in the work by the the people being warped and coming out, and the text having an arch.

The depth of field is shallow because the background is blurry. 

The elements of the artwork evoke a sense of interest in what Gaby is reading in the book.

I want the viewer to wonder why those certain images are popping out of the book.

Camera as a Connector: Part 2

In this image, there is symmetrical balance. There is a sense of emphasis on the car since its in the center of the image and is the focus point. The car and all of the trees are very compact together. This gives you a sense of this car being at home because it looks like it has been in this spot for a very long time.

Camera as a Connector: Part 1

Paccarik asks permission before taking a photo because it's not his life to put out there on the internet. Its not his place to put peoples business out there, unless they want him to and don't mind. When he says "not to steal a moment in someone's life" he means he doesn't want to ruin a moment in their life or intrude. Paccarik tries to find people that he can relate to and that he connects with, because he went through the same thing when growing up. He films negative because it's the reality of what really goes on within the locations he photographs. His process is different because he takes a lot longer to take the pictures so he can actually absorb the moment and what's happening. In Peru, he emphasizes the life within the copper mines and compares them to daily life in Richmond or the other places, and stresses the contrast of the ways of life. The camera is a connecting point because it is what captures the moments and gives the ability to be able to share and show the different images from all over the world.
