Blog Post 1: Photos

by: Marissa Cohen


Introduction

Hello! Welcome to my blog! My name is Marissa Cohen and this is my first ever blog post, courtesy of my college COM 1113 class. This first blog post focuses on establishing different camera angles and particularly focuses on composition and working the shot. I hope to improve throughout this class, and compiling the image of those final photos. I hope you enjoy!


Theme

The theme I have chosen is sunglasses. Sunglasses are a way to protect yourself from the brightness around you, and you can take them anywhere. They come in different cases, shapes, and colors but we all use them. For my theme, I have decided to take one of my favorite pairs to wear and see how I can manipulate the camera to show the different angles we discussed in class. I wanted to experiment with different areas so I chose to use both the sunglasses with and without the case. 


Background

By having this image focus on the case, I was able to establish a shot that is clear and full of color at the same time. I like this shot because the image is able to provide a contrast of subject versus background and it's very prominent in the image. Taking this image was a way for me to try out different backgrounds until I ultimately ended up settling on this one. 


Rule of Thirds

I wanted this particular image to follow the rule of thirds. Having the eyes picture this image as one following the rule of thirds helps to establish contrast and depth as well. This image allows balance to become prominent in the photo, which relaxes the eyes, making for a great photo. 



Duality
 
Having this image follow the rules of duality and parallel itself allows for an identical photo on both sides. This placement is beneficial because it allows to establish the shot and the image itself.

Blog Post 2: Business Cards By: Marissa Cohen Introduction  Welcome to my second blog post! This week in my class I learned how to make a business card. I had to follow a rubric on how to make the card and do my best to follow directions in order to produce a well-made product. I think it's important to know that getting the dimensions for the card right are essential, and making sure you use a professional photo when creating the cards is also a recipe for a successful business card. BUSINESS CARD This image before the final preview of the card allowed me to see what I was able to produce and my placement of everything I wanted to be included on this business card. FINAL PRODUCT My final business card turned out well for the first time making it. I did my best to follow the correct dimensions and bleed in order to achieve a good business card.   What I Learned Something that aided me when making this card were the readings and assignment itself. I was able to learn how to ins...

Blog #5 - Swatches

 SWATCHES - 11/23/2021 Introduction : For this assignment, we were tasked with creating swatches behind the inspiration of a photo we were tasked with choosing. For my inspiration, I used a photo I took of myself from fall break when I was in Miami, Florida. From this image, I was able to take three colors - pink, green, and gold - and make them swatches and nameplates.  What I Learned : From creating my swatches and nameplates, I was able to learn what is necessary in creating a professional looking swatch and nameplates that would present well for a future job or other professional endeavor. I think this really helped me for any future assignments, internships, or jobs I may want to pursue and this would really expand my personal portfolio and allow me to experiment with different shades while keeping a sense of fun and lightness out of the entire experience.  Overall Thoughts : When I was completing this assignment, I was a bit confused on how to create the swatch...
