Crayon Rubbings


Goals
This particular assignment was designed to teach some of the basics of the class; such as scanning, the differences in some of the file types, resolution, file size, and blogging.

Skills Learned
I am going to sound a bit off, but I re learned several skills I already knew in a new program (Photoshop). Those skills being resizing / changing the resolution of an image. But I also learned the importance of using the right size and formant of an image.

 A
I really liked how most of this mage came out, mostly with the background. The background was created with grates that separate the general student population from the welding/automotive department workspace. I feel it came out real neat, and I like how the red popped against the darker blue and grey of the other two parts of the picture. The A it’s self came from one of the large signs denoting which building you where standing in front of. The big disappointment with this image is how the female and handicap symbols came out really blurry, perhaps if I used a different color it would have come out better.. 





Rising Sun
This one came out a little busy but still nice. The back ground in this one was formed by the concrete wall of the art building. I like the separation in the bricks, it makes it feel less white noisy. The red diamonds are actually from one of the light fixtures on the outside of the art building and they came out real neat. The blue text is hard to read but it reads “Faculty Office”. And the pink mountain with the sun-rays is the Arizona Western College symbol which I found on one of the “Which building is this” signs.In hind sight I wouldn't use the Pink and the red in conjunction with this picture   again. With it being as busy as it is, the similar colors used for the diamonds and the mountains make it even harder to read.

  1. (Crayon Rubbing "A") First of all that i can see catches my eye is the title of your image. Its a noticeable title that explains your piece perfectly. I can see that your crayon rubbing illustrates the giant letter "A" above the texture and image. The letter "A" gives of a powerful feeling just with its sheer size and bright blue color. The pattern gives of a warm gentle feeling that radiates around the letter and gives it its obvious design that compliments the big blue letter. The symbol i would say is the least noticeable of the tree because it hides behind the bright blue "A" and because of its choice of color and size, making it least appealing. All in all it is a very eye catching design full of warmth and powerful feelings that shoot of into the eyes of the viewer the minute it is seen.
