  4.  Being extinct means that you are no longer living or that something is no longer there. For example, many years ago dinosaurs went extinct at around 65 million years ago and it is something we've all learned and spoke about once in their lifetime. Dinosaurs are what many kids toys are designed to be and there is nobody who does not know about the extinct creatures. This is why when people think of extinction, most people's minds drift to the dinosaurs.
  5. However, there are some animals and organism species throughout the world that have gone extinct. These animals aren't known to people and have disappeared from the world while people are none the wiser. Today, there were 5 billion species of animals that live on the Earth that are now extinct. 
  6. Through the project, I wish to explore the word 'extinction' through other forms and highlight the aspects that people don't know about to make others know the impact of extinction even to the present day.

Fine Art Photography - Editing Photos

Image
When I took my photos, I decided to edit them in Photoshop. I decided I wanted to edit them rather than keep them as they were because adding colour onto photographs that already contain colour wouldn't give me the contrast I wanted in my photographs. I also wanted my pieces to focus on only one colour that would represent the emotion associated with the music that it gives to the subject when they listen to it. The colour would also represent the emotion that they feel if the song reminds them of a certain memory.  To begin, I wanted to change the saturation of the photograph by -100, making it transform from colour to grey scale. I feel adding the grey scale will allow my piece to be in the background and not focused on when I add the colour onto the piece. It also increases the contrast and allows the person to focus on the particular colour, meaning that the connotation surrounding that colour would be obvious to the person viewing the piece.  While looking back...

Final Piece Preparation - Mock Final Piece

Image
To prepare for my final piece, I have created what I feel is a sample of the final piece idea I had in mind.  With this mock final piece, I have experimented with composition of the photos as well as the background of which I feel will make the photographs stand out the most as a piece.  For my photographs, I felt the best composition was similar to a sound wave. This is because sound waves are the focal point for my piece, being what my entire project is based on for the lines and colours. To further bring sound waves into my piece, I have made the photographs themselves as a large sound wave that further emphasises the importance of sound waves, and how they songs effect everyone's thoughts, memories and emotions in life.   I have made the photographs different sizes as I feel it helps emphasise certain photographs. As well as this, it makes the piece seem much less flat and repetitive, as it makes different photographs all unique, with different tech...
