1) The image would be 8.64 x 12.96.

2) The new size would be 8.64 x 17. The length of the image will be larger than what it was originally.

3) Vertical line

4) Click the post it note looking button on the bottom of the window it will make a new layer.

5) To make a folder click the folder icon on the bottom of the window.

6) Drag and drop the layer into the new folder.

1) The gradient tool is about half way down the palette and to the right. It looks like a square that is shaded at the right side and slowly turns white. The pen tool is towards the bottom of the palette to the which looks like a fountain pen. The tool you would use to make shape of any color would be the rectangle tool. It is one level below the pen tool but to the right side of the palette.

2) Half of the image would be the color you choose and slowly fade to white. Because the color setting is on the transparent setting. The shape setting would be set to straight. The opacity would be dark because the setting is at 100%.

3) You would click on the icon that is to the right of the tool bar and than when the options come for that setting comes up click the setting for the gradient that is a solid color that transitions from a dark color to light color and than to small checkers.

4) You have made vector art.

5) yes it is a closed path.

6) Select the first tool in the tool bar that is to the right. The color of the rectangle will be black.

7) To make a circle you would click and hold on the rectangle making tool and the option to make a circle will come up on the screen.

8) You would use 300 dpi.

9) Dots per inch

10) Both A and B will be the same size because image A is just zoomed out of the image than image B.

Emulation Advertisement

In this nike Add running shoes are advertised. The viual photogrpaher sells the product because the running shoe looks like a meteor (Proposing the shoe will make you fast.) Also the bright coloring of the add draws your eye to the shoe and not the background.

The text "meteors" is Unserifed, the weight of the text is light, the width of the text is small and the contrast of the text is thin.

I think the text is bright which brings together the idea of meteors and fire which can be white.

In this add a macbook air is being advertised. The visual photographer used a small mark of blood to show that the computer is "paper" thin.

The text "paper thin" is unserifed, the the weight of the text is very light, the width of the text is small and the contrast of the text is thin.

I think the text is small which emphasises the size of the computer and ties the whole add together.

The add is advertising the Motorola Droid. The visual photographer is emphasising how the droid "does" everything with everything that it can do around the phone. since it is in front of a sphere it also provides a complete, 360 degree idea of the phones coverage of the functions.

The text Droid Does is a font that has unserifed, the weight of the text is light, the width of the text is large and the contrast of the text is thin.

I think the adds text brings the whole add together because the text itself is robotic, like the phone.

Emulation project

I plan on emulating Ansel Adams. His photography is mostly of Trees, mountains, and of nature in general. I like the way that Ansel's photos show nature in it natural artistic way. Ansel Adams works by using all natural light and by using exact exposure. His photos are not photoshopped and are all in black and white. The photo of Ansel Adam's that i am going to emulate is, Half dome in winter. The picture i will be taking is one of Mont Tremblant, the ski resort in Canada. I am going to take it during the day with as much light as possible. I want to have the view of the lake to the village leading to the mountain it's self. I want to emulate Ansel Adam's photo of Half dome in winter. I like how the bright white color of the snow brightens the photo while the dark color of the water breaks up the bright white snow. I would like to do the same with my photo to have the darker water break up the white snow of the Ski mountain. I would like to emulates Ansel's style of black and white photography of nature. I want to capture the natural style and design of nature and its greatness. I am going to keep the editing of the photo limited, so the original picture will not be changed drastically. I also would like to take the picture when it is snowing so instead of having the picture crystal clear the snow will blur the image slightly. When i take this picture i hope to catch a skier on the mountain. It will also make the picture different from Ansel Adams photos because Ansel Adams does not have people in his photos it is mainly nature or inanimate objects. I also will be using a tripod to reduce the shaking of the camera if it is on a cloudy day. When i take the photo and if it is snowing i will cover my camera in a large plastic bag (ziplock) so it will not be damaged.I hope that the project will reflect on Ansel Adams pictures that come to life when you look at them. Hopefully my emulation project of Ansel Adam's will go well.

Irving Penn: Penn's photographs are different from most photographers portraits of people. Irving's photos have a twist to them. He either poses people in unusual ways, add objects to the photo or changes the background to something interesting. He adds a new spin on the photography of people. The photos that i have seen of Irving's seem to be film photos. In his photos he uses allot of props. His photos would most likely be shot in a studio and he would probably have assistants to help him set up and get props together. I do not notice any photoshop edits. The lighting he uses is artificial because most of the pictures that i have seen of his have had light all around and few shadows.

Ansel Adams: Ansel Adams photographs are mainly nature and still objects. He has been a favorite photographer of mine for a while. The lighting he uses is all natural (since they are outdoor scenes.) I know that his photos are from film prints. He has worked alone because you cant have a set out in Yosemite valley with assistants setting up the shot for El Capitan. Ansel Adams photographs of nature are a great influence to me and the photos that i take.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: HIroshi's photography varies in style. They are mostly abstract photos. They seem to have been shot in a set. The lighting is artificial. Some of them seemed to have been photoshopped because the outside of the photos are darker than the middle of the photo. I think that the Hiroshi worked alone in most of his photos because they seem to not need allot of work to put together.

Joel Sternfeld: Joel's photos are of mostly nature like Ansel's but unlike Ansel's he has people in his photographs. His photo graphs seem to be taken with a film camera. There are no evidence of photoshopping on his images. The lighting he uses is natural. I think Joel worked alone for taking his pictures because they are mostly outdoors'.

Robert Dosineu: Robert's photos are of all people in different settings and situations. Some are in the city and others are in the country. They all depict the emotion of the subject. The lighting he uses is natural light. I believe he ha used a film camera. There does not seem to be photoshopped used in his photos. His photos may have required some assistance to get his subjects in order.
