I thought this was one of the most creative photographs i've seen in a while. It is very eye catching and funny

i picked this layout because it had a very old school look to it and I like old school

I chose this layout because the intencity of the colors and the way the truck seemlessly fits

Baby Boom


This baby is adorable and has the most puffy cheeks.

Paradise


I like this ad because it reminds me of Barbados

high maintenance ad




This ad was amusing because fashion and looking sexy is a huge part in a women life in today society.

Banana Boat Ad


I just thought this ad was fun and creative. It has the color and the photo is interesting.

Makeup Ad


This is an ad for a makeup brand, and I found it interesting because of the style it is. The way the girls make up is and the whole thing just caught my eye right away.

Mojito Ad


The layout of this ad caught my eye at first. I like how there is so much detail and color to one side, but the other side is just white with a little bit of detail. I thought it was a neat ad for alcohol.

KY Ad


This ad caught my attention mainly because of the color. The ad is plain and simple, but it is the blue and pink that just stand out to me.

Trojan Ad


I really liked this ad because I thought it was a creative and interesting way to promote a condom. The layout caught my attention right away.

METERS // JEAN L // FORM AND SPACE


So… I was walking around at the point back to my car after dropping off my mixxtape to a friend. That’s when I came across the most interesting looking set of meters. They just looked picture worthy. I just thought to myself if I switched the image to grayscale how it would look so mechanical yet organic at the same time. The pipes were weaving in and out in their design. I thought that was cool. And the paint on the meters themselves had some texture due to the fact that the pipes were somewhat torn up from the weather. They had mulch on them in the cracks and crevasses; the paint was chipped as well. The only thing I had to do next was get a good iso shot of the meters and switch it to grayscale to give it a little drama. I took a couple of shots and it was a wrap. Nice picture, I think.

KITTY PLAYPEN // JEAN L // FORM AND SPACE



I’m sure anyone that has cats for pets will know what one of these is. I was at a friend’s apt and I saw this thing up and I didn’t know what it was. So then they told me it was a cat playhouse. I don’t think the lens could possibly even capture those intensely bright colors on this waste of space. Not once did I see the cats even scrape it this thing. However, it made for a good shot of something with form and too much space. This thing took up the whole right side of where the entertainment set was to the door. Which was a pretty big space. I couldn’t even get the whole play place in the picture. What I did find interesting was the circles on the inside, like hoops. The cats jump and fall through the holes I’m assuming. Although I never got to see the contraption in action it made for another good blog find.

SILVER FOUNTAIN // JEAN L // FORM AND SPACE


Not too far past the turtle on the beach, I came across and interesting looking piece of metal. It was this water fountain. I didn’t even know what it was at first because it was sitting next to the bike rack loops that were coming out of the concrete sidewalk near the bushes. The fountain however did stand out a lot. It was shiny and looked as if the metal was polished and sculpted smoothly. I’m guessing someone deliberately designed the fountain to have that half a cylinder type modern look, or it was made from scrap metal and shined up. Either way, it’s efficient as well as a nice piece of art. The only thing that I don’t like about the fountain is that it’s so low. But I’m sure children appreciate it. So I guess that was something the designer took into consideration that would have been a mistake of mine if I were the one constructing it.

FLYING TURTLE // JEAN L // FORM AND SPACE


This is a really cool sculpture I came across when I was at the beach taking photos for Image Manipulation class. I’ll be surprised if I hear no one has ever posted a picture of this for form and space. This turtle is awesome. Too funny. It just sits about seven and a half feet on top of a concrete pole on the sidewalk near the beach just before you get close to the pier. The colors are so vibrant that it’s almost impossible to miss. I was wondering why it was there. I’ve never seen any turtles in Clearwater, especially on the beach. But maybe I’m just not there enough. The sculpture is very round like a turtle. Which is great. The way that it’s standing with its hand out makes it look even more animated. Definitely the best turtle sculpture I’ve never seen which is weird because I’ve been to a lot of theme parks in the past. I think whoever decided to make that sculpture and put it by the beach should make more, of different animals. Not too many, but maybe like two or three.
