Project 3 Grids and Mood

This first part of the project was making grids out of one or more photos we had previously taken in project. The first grid shows the color compliments of blue and orange. It originally was a copper structure so I edited the colors of the structure before making it into a grid. The second grid shows cool colors. I used three photos of different round objects and then edited their colors so they were a cool blue and cool cream. The third grid is an extra grid I made out of one photo, but I changed the colors and played with angles and position. The third grid is of another sculpture. I changed the colors to be warm and I played with the angles to make a cool patter. The last grid is monochrome. I messed with the size and angles of the picture to make the grid look like one solid object. Then I edited the color to be copper.  

The second part of this project was to create a certain mood in pictures. The first two pictures after the grids show a gloomy, cold, or dark mood. I achieved this look through changing the color and intensities of the already dark/foggy photo. The last two photos portray a warm, cozy, or happy mood. The already warm colored photos were edited to be warmer to fully achieve the intended mood.

The solid blue in the background and the warm yellow of the tower gives this photo a calm, happy, or content feeling. The photographer probably is trying to achieve this mood to portray how the people in the tower are feeling (content, free, happy, etc.). The photographer might have edited this photo by making the sky a mild blue, and the tower yellower. Warm highly to the sky could have been added along with taking the sharpness and vibrance of the photo down a little to give that calm feeling.
