Year one continued
The start of the first year felt a little troubled for me, more in the context of being unsure of what I was doing and also unsure if whether I had mad the right decision in leaving a full time job. But on the other hand I didn't want to just fall into the trap of being comfortable and slowly dying inside (that's how I saw it anyway)!
The crunch time came halfway through the first semester when i realised that if i was going to change my life for the better then i should stop worrying about it and just get on with it and embrace the change.
Work from first semester
One of the briefs we encountered was a photography brief to try and help us to understand hoe colours worked together. These being
- analgous, where on the colour wheel the colours should be located next to each other
- complimentary, where the colour are located opposite each other
- mono colour, where the main emphasis is a single colour
Analgous
I feel that i ran into a problem with the analgous images because unknown to myself it appeared that i was using the wrong type of colour wheel. On reflection i feel that the tutors should of supplied a colour wheel to every student to work from to form some sort of consistency within the group.
Below is the colour wheel that i initially worked to.
Below is what the tutors expected the colour wheel to look like
As you can see the tonal range of colour in the second colour wheel is what was expected. I feel that i shouldnt of lost marks for this, but hey, what can you do. We live and learn. And that what this course is all about. It is better to make mistakes now than when i am employed by someone who expects me to know.
Complimentary
Mono colour
Overall I feel the images work well and was pleased with my final work within this brief. The other section to the brief was taking one image from different view points.
