On the Hour (Photography)

Over our October break we were tasked with taking three images a day, Monday to Friday.  We had to take them every hour, on the hour, and the idea was that they'd connect to each other.  So Monday, 7am, 8am, 9am, and then Tuesday would be 10am, 11am etc.  Admittedly, I often forgot to take photographs on time, some of them being as much as 25 minutes late.  I fear that's affected some of them, especially the later ones when the light is changing.

On the first day, I was up early, starting in Innerleithen and travelling to nearby Walkerburn.  The following show 7am, 8am and 9am respectively;




For the second three images, I was in Edinburgh quite early on.  I took some images in my travels, as well as a third I took on the drive home.  I took several out of the car, but oddly, I preferred the one from behind the wheel.  These relate to 10am, 11am and 12pm.




On Wednesday, I was in Peebles for work reasons.  The weather was flipping between showers and sun.  I honestly never noticed how quick the rain seemed to dry until I was looking over these pictures later on.  From 1pm, 2pm and 3pm.




On both Thursday and Friday I was in Glasgow, visiting friends.  The first image was before I left home, and the second two are in Glasgow.  4pm, 5pm and 6pm.




Finally, later on in the evening of the following day, I have the last pictures I took.  Now, these in particular I feel aren't great, as I was with friends and completely forgot to take the picture for 7pm.  So it's too close to the one for 8pm.  7pm, 8pm and 9pm.

Illustration and Photograph Combination (Digital Media)

Image
Digital media allows us to do certain things that would be impossible, unlikely, or incredibly difficult.  It can gift us certain shortcuts.  It can make certain things seem more real or possible.  One of the ideas I was toying with was trying to take a character and insert them into the real world.  The idea was to blend a character and make it seem like they are existing in the real world.  To do this, I would need to find a photograph and then draw an image to fit into it. Thinking back to our theme of environment, whilst I happened to be staring out of a window into a thunderstorm, I realised that I actually really enjoy being in the rain.  So long as it's not cold or windy.  It's probably one of my favourite weathers to stand in.  With that thought in mind, I wanted to draw a character enjoying themselves in the rain.  I starting going through stock images of rainy scenes, to see if any spurred any ideas. I found this image, and w...

My thoughts on Digital Art (Digital Media)

Digital Art is something that I think is ill defined.  Both literally and in the minds of many.  I believe it has as many variations and connotations as 'Art' itself.  For example, if someone records a clip of themselves doing something creative in a video game, it could be considered a digitally created animation.  And therefore, art.  I'm not sure if I like what this could mean.  I've not been shy about admitting my limited knowledge of art and the art world, but I feel a similar problem arose with things like conceptual art.  What is art?  Can anything be art?  What shouldn't be art?  I feel we'll be asking the same questions about digital art very soon, if not already. I believe in my head that digital art is something created using digital tools that has an analogue input behind it, as well as intention.  Maybe that's too specific.  I don't really know.  But if it meets that criteria, I will consider it to be a for...

Orla Kiely (Surface Decoration/Digital Media)

Image
Orla Kiely is am Irish designer, living and working in London.  Born in 1963, she attended the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, before going on to achieve a Masters at the Royal College of Art in London.  Since graduating, she has achieved commercial success and popularity, with many of her designs being mass produced and replicated, and sold to the masses at a reasonable price.  As a result, her designs crop up in day to day life rather often, and most of us will have someone we know who has some household item featuring one of her designs. Kiely's designs are wonderfully simple, featuring easily identifiable and natural shapes that have been simplified into an appealing and clean image.  Her colour choices are (in my opinion) quite bizarre.  I find them quite hard to describe.  They're not overly bright, but are quite saturated despite their darker tones.  The colours used are almost retro, and for me scream 'Seventies'.  I'...
