In this project, we learned to do grids with our pictures, to create cool patterns. We also used color to create a mood in a photo. I'm not good at making grids at all, but I tried to make something unique.

This picture was cropped out images of 9 different sections of a complicated picture I took. It's not necessarily a pattern, but it gives a different perspective and more details of just one photo. Warm Colors.

| The lines in-between the pictures was there to emphasize on the cuts of them. I thought this was cool to fit all the pictures back together like a puzzle piece. warm colors |

Mood Photo:
A mood photo is created by manipulating colors to make it a certain mood. I find different photos to create darker moods (negative feeling) or lighter moods (positive feeling). Most of the time, just darkening the shadows of the picture can give off a more ominous vibe. I had a hard time choosing which photo to show, so I will be showing 5 of my favorites.

| This photo is off centered. It makes me frustrated. The photo was taken on the shore of a water canal on the west coast. It was taken while my boyfriend was at school, and I was hanging out near his house in Warrenton. I stumbled across something I didn't want to in a middle of the small hurricane there: graves. With stuff. Lots of stuff. This photo not only tells an ominous story, the colors are also dulled down largely to emphasize on the solemn feeling of it. Only a few indistinct colors show. Red, (middle right hand side) green, and a little bit of blue. Otherwise, it is white, black, and mostly gray. Monochrome |

| This is a foot. Yeah. The red and blue on it stand out, no doubt about it. There are lighter colors in the grass, yet it's kind of weird. It gives me an unsettling feeling. There's just something off about this picture. It's suspenseful, in my opinion, wondering if it might even be a detached foot or not. I put a light black vignette filter on it. Contrast between red shoe and green grass, color complement |
 |
| Now we're getting to my most favorites. This is a picture posed on a beach. I made the highlights lighter, and the colors of the sunset more apparent. The skin is a little more pinkish red, and the yellow shirt is more red too. Red is the color of passion, and it invokes passion and aggression in humans. |

| This was a photo of a snow monkey in Nagano. It was an OK lit picture when I took it, but I darkened the sky and the mountain range a little bit more. The monkey is already sitting alone with it's back towards the viewer. Snow monkeys (and most monkeys) are very sociable, so finding one staring off into the distance is a little disconcerting. He may even look like he's looking at the ground, depressed. |

| This is one of my favorite photos. It was a nice bright day, so I used the little color in the clouds and blue sky, and intensified the blue. The tower is the Astoria Column. The plane is a compostiable material that you can buy for a dollar, and throw off the side. I held it up to the column, and it made a pretty cool picture. I darkened the blacks, making the column look almost indistinguishable. It just looks like a towering building, and is very intimidating. While the plane is recognizable, and seems to be "flying" through a stormy sky. This, all put together with my hand, a sign of maybe a child's playfulness. I'm not sure what this makes me feel. Uneasy, childish, scared, offended? Cool colors |

| It was already a nice photo, but adding dark colors made it more...moody. |
