week 7. 20.04.07

NEWS-WORTHY: I think this photo is an ideal representation of the theme 'news-worthy' as it symbolises drought, a topic that is very current in Australian news. To achieve this effect I used the tool artistic and used poster edges.

POPULAR: I chose this photo as a representation of the theme 'popular' as ipods are such a current trend and are extremely popular. To achieve this effect i used the brush strokes tool and used sprayed edges.

GAMES: I chose this photo represents the theme 'games' because it is under the games toolbar on a computer desktop and the fact that card games are always popular. To achieve this effect I went to the artistic tool and clicked on plastic wrap.


AUSTRALIAN: I used a phot of a BBQ to represent the theme of 'Australian'. I chose this photo because BBQ's are a large part of Australian culture. All i did to get this effect was click on the blur tool.



COMMUNICATION: Mobiles are one of the primary forms of communication, which why i beleive it is the perfect representation of the communication theme. I used the artistic tool and the neon effect in order to achieve this image.




FRIENDS: This is a photo of myself and my best friend, thus representing the theme of 'friends'. To create the effect i used the distort tool and diffused glow. I also enhanced the grain effect on it.





CELEBRITY: This picture represent the theme celebrity obviously because it is a celebrity walking the red carpet. To get this effect I used the pixalating tool and crystallised it.

UNIVERSITY LIFE: When i think of university life i think of studying, discussion and group work. Thus, this photo is what i believe clearly indicates the theme of 'university life'.
UNCONVENTIONAL: this photo is an accurate representation of theme 'unconventional'. Normally the groom ornament is fixed next to the bride ornament. This photo clearly defies normal wedding convention in realtion to the cake.

SUMMER: this photo was taken on a family holiday. It involves sand, water, sun, clear blue sky and boats. All of these things are commonly linked with the theme of 'summer'.


NEWS: the news is apart of everyday life. People are constantly being fed news through the television, radio, magazines and especially the newspaper. This photo is an obvious representation of the theme 'news'. It is informative, never the same and probably one of the most commonly read commodities worldwide.


HIGH TECH: This photo clearly resembles the theme of 'high tech'. It is a new zealand satellite in outer space. The technology being developed and used in space is advanced in its ability to serve humans with whether forcasts and further research in realtion to planets etc.




FRIENDS: i think that this photo is a good representation of the theme 'friends' as it was taken at our school formal and is myself with a couple of my closest friends from school. It is a photo that i will always look back on with good memories. It clearly shows that we are freinds.
