All three: National Geographic

Left Image:
 * The left is a landscape image. It is an interesting piece of art because it's an interesting rock. I really like the cool colors that the image has, as well as its texture. It looks smooth and curved, yet rough and sharp all at the same time. I was unable to find the exact artist of this photo. This photo exhibits leading lines of the stone, interesting point of view, and framing, as the clouds are framing the rock.

Middle Image: Right Image:
 * This was an image I saw on National Geographic, of Lake Michigan, Michigan. I thought that it was very interesting, and I liked the warm color scheme. It exhibits leading lines, focal point, and level horizon. Even though the picture is not the cleanest, it almost adds character to the image.
 * The image on the right is another image from National Geographic, of Mackinac Bridge, Michigan. This image not only shows landscape but also architecture. This image exhibits a variety of compositional techniques, including the leading lines, interesting point of view, and level horizon. I like the cool colors of this image, as well as the different point of view that it provides.

media type="youtube" key="tdk_OM7yTcc" width="560" height="315" For this project, I would really like to print onto a piece of metal. The video used a special glue-like substance that was coated onto the metal. The image was mirrored and printed onto a transparency. The transparency was placed on the metal, ink side down. Pressure was then applied to the transparency. 4 minutes of applying pressure later, the transparency was rolled off the metal.

My concept for this project is showing a different aspect of my life that only people who really know me or rock climb with me know. I wanted to print onto either metal or rock, but ended up choosing metal, because of the implied texture that my images show. The images were taken all around Adventure Rock, with people all around, and even some goofy pictures that show what rock climbing is to different people.
