DRAWING TATTOO

When looking at tattoos, especially tattoos are all created by combining shapes that are similar to knife or sword blades. They look powerful with sharpness and pointed angles. I was quite interesting and decided to create my own one. This tattoo is a combination of 2 animals images : Lion and Cobra. One for power and one for “lightning speed”. I will try to draw it on real body in one day soon.

RED MOON
In my personal opinion, moon represents the sadness and loneliness. The reason I think that is when looking at the moon at night , I just see a single moon between a huge dark sky. It seems to be quite lonely and sad. This is the image that I created in order to show the moon in my mind. Two elements : Loneliness and sadness are both shown. I used red ( the color of sunset scene ) and black to represent “sadness”. The image of standing man near the tree ( all in black color) to represent “loneliness”.

CASUAL INTERESTING MISTAKE

This is the picture that I took in the Terry Fox marathon. The picture is the performance of traditional Vietnamese drums. Because I still kept moving the camera when taking the picture, it blurred ( in vertical rhythm) . However, when I viewed it, I found there is an interesting point :the direction of the blur line is the same to the direction of the drummers’ arm. It make the picture seem to be more exciting and emotional

COMPOSITION

Composition is the plan, placement or arrangement of the elements of art work. The general purpose of composition is selecting and placing appropriate elements within the work in order to communicate ideas and feeling with the viewer. By applying visual elements of Composition, I took a picture and analyses it. Firstly, the picture of the old vendor is taken from her back. In addition , although, the size of the main object( the vendor) is smaller than the total size of the picture( it s not closed), the vendor is focused very much because she is placed at the center of the picture. Secondly, the line of houses or walls around the vendor to make the viewers ’ eyes focus more to the vendor. Thirdly, the area around picture is old houses has emphasizes the word “poverty” of the picture. Finally, the value of lightness is not high in the picture, it shows the time of the very early morning when poor people start their work.

GOODBYE GIRL PICTURE

When I was wondering what topic will be posted for my blog this week, i stopped a few minutes to listen to music. Fortunately and coincidently, when listening to the song “Goodbye girl”, I decided to make a picture to express the its content. The picture shows a man who is sleeping under a night sky with many stars. On the other hand, he is sleeping without worrying or sadness. It a silent and peaceful feeling. Take a look and listen to this song, you will understand the song ‘s emotion.

WEBSITE BANNER

In this week , I have an assignment about creating a complete website in web construction subject. In this website, besides programming, there is also marks for design.

This is the banner and logo that I designed for my own website name : “Job paradise”. The Logo was created simply by using 2 letters J( for Job) and P( for paradise). In the main area, I just used the pictures of business men and women and group them together. The background of the banner is blue and white because this is the color of working uniforms . For that reason, the website will become more closed and friendly to people.
