Photo Ops

The photo ops article was five pages that went through and showed different aspects of photography. The article goes through and shows different techniques that are used when playing around with a digital camera. They talk about framing, symmetry vs. asymmetry, movement, repetition, close-ups, etc. Movement is one of my favorite aspects of photography because I feel like it gives the picture life. Even if the image is not clean cut, not even a centimeter of blurriness it can still be beautiful. In my own opinion they can sometimes be more beautiful. Framing is also very important when taking pictures because it can help move your eye through the image. I have found that people become very big fans of close up pictures. The image can be something very simple but since it's close up you may never even be able to tell what the object is. All of the aspects talked about in the article are important when taking pictures, and were helpful in taking pictures of our cardboard words.

Typography

The powerpoint on typography was a small lesson in explaining how different types show their diversity in the details of the letters. It showed how some letters had thicker lines than others, while others had small hooks or something of that nature to show their style. This is important whilst working on these giant letters because small details on a giant structure can become very seeable. While we are only using one certain font for this project, it is interesting to see the subtle differences that go into the different fonts. Even though they may seem almost to a T in similarity, they have that one detail that shows the difference.
