Evaluation

For this project we were asked to create a pop art image of our choice but we have to bring in some objects from home to shoot in lessons with using the Redheads and Soft boxs. I were asked to produce a series of suthentic and considered photographic images based on my research and my personal photographic knowledge, for example the camera settings for shooting pictures by using the Redheads, Solfboxs and backdrops, We were told to put up and to create our own pop-up prodect studio by using these from what we have learnt this year.
Pop art came around in the mid 1950's after there was an international phenomenon in various cities. Pop art evolved from growing interests in the world to an art movement of its own dur to artists such as Andy Warhol and David Hockney. While i was researching i found some images that inspired me to create the final image that i did for example my final image is of a person but while i was researching i found a nice pop art image of The Beatles and its of all of there faces put they have been made into a pop art image.

And below are the final images that i have created:

With this assignment my ideas were to create a pop art image by using an old record but once i had done finsihed it i dont think that it looked very good so i ended up getting a picture of my cousin that i took and i used that instead of the records.

While i was doing this assignment i had to take a few things into consider which were to finish everything before the deadline and i also had to make sure that i keep track of time and to not get behind on work in lessons and out of lesson at home. we didnt really have much time to do this assignment so we had to produce our final images quickly and we also had to be careful that we wasn't over editing the image because it is quite easy to over edit image and then at the end they might look good to you but to other people they might have a different taste and not likt the image as much as you do. While we were shooting the pictures using the self made studio that we had to create we then had to make sure the camera settings were right so once we had finished and put them onto the computer they looked how we wanted them to so i ser my camera to ISO-100 Shutter-125 and Aperture-F4.
Once i had finished shooting the images i hnad to put them into Photoshop and then i found this reallt good website that shows you how to turn a picture imto pop art: http: //www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/pop-art/ and i found this website really easy to use because it takes you through the different steps and explains how to do them as well. Also once i had created them into pop art images i then double clicked onto the layer and then it opened a pop up box called Layer Style where i then changed the Patern overlay which i then had to make so it is different on every picture and i also then had to change the Opacity on the patern to be able to see the pop art image underneath it.

In conclusion next time i would make sure i have different test shots for the photograph of the person and i also to mamage my time carefully to keep up with how much work we had to do and also i will change the colour of the background on the final images so they are all different. From this assignment i learnt how to create a pop art image and i learnt never to over edit my pictures.
