Project #3: Panorama

Death of Childhood
45 x 19 Panorama

For this project I wanted to create a surreal playground environment. I chose this idea because I wanted to illustrate the idea of childhood and the fact that it seems that nowadays most children and are either not given the ideal experience of being a kid or have to grow up quicker than most due to particular circumstances like problems within the family or teen pregnancy. To get this point across, I took pictures of various playground equipment and distorted them, removing parts and desaturating the color. I'm pretty happy with the result, although I may go back in later and add more equipment and bits of destruction here and there.

Project #2: That's Cool (and Warm)

For this project I wanted to portray the feeling of relaxation in different settings. I chose these two scenarios because they're the best ways I know of to relieve stress, especially with music. If I were to rework them, I might use different environments or highlight different colors for each mood. But for now, I think I'm okay with how they came out.
