Typography; part 2!

More typography y'all!

We were asked to make it better, by following the pros and cons the teacher gave me.
I chose to write a new word; Elixir - I love that word! Which sort of plays itself out, as I love Harry Potter above all else! (Aaaand LOTR of course! Oh! And Game of thrones! I think I could keep this up all day, so to sum it up pretty quickly; I'm nerdy as f, and I love it!)

Typography!

This time around, we were to make typography, by using ourselves or something we found outside.

My group ended up making the entire alphabet out of ourselves, and well - I think we did pretty good!

I made the word; "Pluviophile" out of some of the photographies in black & white, made some adjustments, aaand here it is :)

And for those of you, whom don't know what Pluviophile means, it's written underneath the headline, on the photoline :)

Ballerinas just took a creepy turn

So here's a video, made in premiere pro - or, it's the stop motion from the past post - I put some creepy ass old music to it inn premiere pro! But the stop motion itself is made in photoshop.

Creepy, right?  

The tiny ballerinas are here!

Here they are! I love them! They are more than a 100 years old, and made of porcelain.
My mum got them from my grandmother, who got them from her mother and so on and on and on...

Of course I made them dance in the stop motion, just look at them! I chose to show you three versions of this one, cause again, I couldn't decide, and I loved them all.

I wanted it to look old, and perhaps a little creepy - yet cute.

Evil witch and tiny ballerinas

I bet it's pretty easy to see what the task was this time; make stop motion/gifs. The theme was "rolling" like in something has to go round & round. 

I chose to portait the evil witch from Snow white, as I see her; rolling poison apple in her hands, looking forward to see snow white take the deadly bite...yeah I know, evil thoughts. 

Anyway, I chose to place the witch in more in the dark, since the apple is what I wanted to focus on. 

It's the rolling part of the stop motion. 

I chose to show you a slightly green toned and a really heavy green toned version, because I couldn't choose, and well, I loved both.

The one with just the hands are not cut out from the bigger picture. I took them all seperatly!

I'll upload stop motions of some tiny ballerinas soon, cause they didn't fit in this post...

I forgot the snow thingy....

So this post was supposted to be posted like....three weeks ago... xP
I just completely forgot about it in all the chaos of tests and homework and projects and so on and on - But! Today I remembered it, and now I'n posting it!

What was it supposted be to about? you may ask. Well, we had to go out in the cold ass norwegian weather and take pictures with our phones. Theme; snow.

Aaaand this is what I landed on.
Basically I just took a lot of different pictures of snow and cold stuff.
Of course I put a lot of thought into placement and what I focused on and what I left blurry.

Faking old photographies

So this time, it is all about photoshop! I won't say I'm a master - not at all!- but I've gotten a lot better - A LOT!- since my first try! And for some reason, I found this task not only easy and simple to understand and do, I managed to do it four times! I believe I'm making some real progress here!

The task goes like this; take oen of your own photographies and follow a "recipe" to make it look like it's from the 1800th century - back when the objects that were photographed had to stay still for the massive amount of 15 minutes, give or take.

Aaaand this is what I ended up with;
