Seanogram: Natural and Organic
















My interest in the materials I've chosen are the colors, shapes and sizes. I'm an individual born in the fall, so I was inspired by the nature fall brings. I've arranged them in this way out of interest in the way my material went together as a whole. Each image was arranged out of randomness. If I like the way they looked through the scanner, I kept it.

Most of my images represent some type of pattern, whether it was in a row or if the materials were the same or different color. None of my images express an idea. I mostly played around with the way they were laid out and the variations of color.

All my images were created separately, although some images have repeated materials from other images. I can see some of them being grouped together, for example, my images that consist of the bark and red flower pedals. If those were grouped together, it would represent similarity through color and repetition. 

Throughout this project, I mainly messed with levels, curves, vibrance, color balance, saturation, filters/textures, shadows/highlights, brightness/contrast, exposure, hue and layers (opacity, fill). I'm not 100% familiar or confident with photoshop, so I did what I knew I could. For the most part I liked how I scanned my material into the computer, so I stayed away from fully trying to change my images.
