We were asked to go to the construction department in college and take photos of the students work.

One Shot

In this assignment i was asked to take a photo of a important or found item. other criteria for this task were, there had to be a person or part of a person in it and it had to  cropped to 8 x 8 inches.

This is my final image. I am quite happy with this image although the white balance isn't quite right, if you look at my hand its really pale however I have quite tanned hands and my palm near my thump on this photo is almost white.

Captured a cup evaluation.

Evaluation.

I am happy with the outcome of this assignment  even though I did not finish before the deadline, because of  trouble I had making it look like the cups were meant to be there and not like they were floating around and like some one had placed a sticker of a cup on a photograph. During this assignment I have learnt I need to manage my time better and not spend hours trying to do something thats not even that relevant to this assignment. I am happy with  my final images and that I learnt new Photoshop skills in the process, I like my images because they are different to anyone else's and that it has a sort of comical side to it. I chose to do my images like this and put large cups in the photos to show that Huhtamaki is a big company. 

Capture a cup

Introduction.
In this two day assignment I have to take three photos using disposable cups for a company called Huhtamaki which is one of the worlds largest packaging manufacturers and are a major player in the UK disposable packaging market who sell these cups to high street coffee chains, fast food chains, vending machines and contract caterers.

I have to create image for Huhtamaki to use in a variety of foodservice trade PR and advertising activities following the 'beverage to go' brief, the winner will also win £500 and runners up could win £250 each.


Initial Ideas 

• Take a picture of someone holding the cup acting as-if it warming there hands up. 
• Lego men (toys) climbing into or around the cup.
• Cup in front of a coffee machine with a sallow depth of field.  
• Massive stack of coffee cups all next to each other.
• Replace a building with a coffee cup.
• Put loads of large coffee cups on a landscape.

Research.

I had an idea to place large Paper cups on a landscape and I then found this image on google imagers and it gave me the idea too superimpose paper cups over other items like road cones, bins and bollards.

I then Had the idea of replaceing a building with a paper cup as its more noticable than a road cone or a bin, also if I replace a building next to a building that uses the Huhtamaki products it will show other companys who uses these cups so they know that they can be trusted.
