ART 235 Project 1 was assigned to create a serie of seven images using the same object and the seven strategies: combination, juxtaposition, isolation, metaphor, change of context, physical, and material change. The object that I decided to use was a donut and each day we had to take photos of the same object or find images. In my case, I downloaded them because I wanted my photos to have good light. 

To make this image about combination was so difficult because I misunderstood, but by doing better research in which I decided to combine alam clock and donut to create a new object where I used different layers for each image and shadow on Photoshop. 

I had to look for many different weight machines to find the best to use with my donut and I made many visual experiments to create the best layout. I made different layers in Photoshop and use a stoke path for the shadow of the panel to make profundity. 

In the beginning, the background did not match with the idea because it was pink and I had to change it to a dark blue to link with the idea of a vampire donut. Also, I added strawberry jam to look like blood.

This image was created by using three different elements the background (sky), the wings, and the donuts. I had to change the wings for a white color to link with angels and I used a glazed donut. Also, I refined the edges of the wings to blur the mask made.  

To make this image I had to find different moons and some scenes to match my idea for the red velvet flavor. The adjustments were with the moon and with the trees to match them. 

By doing this image, I made three different visual experiments. One was with a completely yellow donut without the bitten and created Pacman mouth with a triangle. The second try was with a background of the game, and the last was with a bitten donut glazed. 

This image had many challenges because, on the first try, I used a strawberry with a donut texture, but it did not work well. Finally, I made different layers one is for the strawberry texture, donut, pedicel, and shadow, and the last layer is for the transparency of the donut texture. The shadow was changed twice because the first was gray and the image look dirty and the second was blurred with more detail, in consequence, it looks like a shadow. 

Mind Mapping

Creating a mind map to use for this project helped me to extract principal ideas and information for my sketches. 

Sketches

Brainstorming helped me to identify objects and concepts to organize my ideas to make my sketches with more clarity and it is important to use notes on your sketches to know what are the elements used on them.

Visual Research

The research will help me in the future because making it is the best way to find ideas for good designers. Nowadays, I have many resources available to find good projects or find articles to improve my designs.

Visual Experiments

Making visual experiments is a good process when you shall have a client because you can show them options to choose. 

Final Images

Making this project took me 3 weeks working from Monday-Friday, 3-4 hours per day.
