Mood Board Part III: Color Board




Mood Board Part IV: Execution

1. Places: I will visit downtown Philadelphia near Penn's Landing and Center City. I will also visit the woods down the street from my house. There's a bridge, some walking paths, and various trees.

2. Textures: I will wait for it to rain and take pictures of puddles in the grass on campus and random puddles in the parking lot. I will also go to the park to take pictures of stormy clouds and more puddles. Hopefully, I will find some wet logs, if not then I will use logs from one of my other photos and make it look wet.

3. Objects: I will take pictures of umbrellas in the air, wet swings at the park, people playing in the rain with balls, and dirty rain boots. If it does not rain, I will attempt to make it happen somehow. I will combine it all together in my pictures to make it look like people are playing.

Mood Board Part V: Bringing it together

I want to combine some dark stormy clouds with a woodsy area as well as an area downtown in Philly or center city. The museum will probably be the area I use. I want to also take pictures of quiet looking neighborhoods to give it a quiet before the storm. I may add in some flying objects to give the picture a strong windy look. Hopefully it rains, so I can take pictures of the rain as well to add into my picture(s).

Final Pictures

For my first photo, I took a picture of a concrete bridge. I used two rust textures taken at DEKA and played with the brightness and contrast. I used the fire from the fire sign on the elevator to create my fire. I also used the fire alarm to add to the "fireness" of my picture. The color in my fire represents one of the colors from my mood board. The grayish color on the under top of the bridge is also from my mood board.


For my second photo, I took another picture of a rusty bridge. I also used two textures taken at DEKA and added some brightness and contrast. I used lawn chairs, an exit sign upside down, and water extinguishers as my objects in the picture. I used two of the green colors from my mood board on the exit sign and on the floor of the bridge.

Mood Board Part IV: Execution

1. Places: I visited random neighborhoods in Reading. There were old factories with missing windows and boarded up doors. I also took pictures of a rusty bridge and a concrete bridge with lots of graffiti. I took a picture of rusty steps with snow on them. There were random train tracks in some of my pictures as well that added some extra "industrialness" (making up words) to it.

2. Textures: I am hoping to find steel textures with ridges and more rusty like things. I may look into GoggleWorks as well as some factories in Reading.

3. Objects: I am going to take pictures of old ropes, rusty barbed wire, bundles of rusty chains, and rusty keys, nails, and screws. I am going to look throughout Reading and I will go to Googleworks as well.

Mood Board Part V: Bringing it together

I want to combine the steel textures with the concrete bridge and maybe add some warning signs and trash to the picture as well. If i use the rusty bridge, I would want to add steel textures and possible some random rope here and there. I will use the ropes and barbed wire as barriers to the entrances of each bridge picture. I will use the nails, screws, and keys as trash on the ground in one of the pictures. I will take pictures of warning signs as well to add to one of the pictures.
