Peer evaluation
Morgan- A I contributed with conceptualization. Also I helped with the angling of the photos and editing.
Frank- A He did a lot of the editing and allowed all of our work to tie in together nicely.
Michael-A He understood and directed which angle of our photo would express our intended message the best.
Peter- A He brought a lot of uniqueness to the idea and altered it in interesting ways.
Process
We came across the idea of religion because it's a concept that is prevalent in our everyday lives. We then decided that we should focus on two specific religions (Catholicism and Muslim). These two religions often collide, so we wanted to show that people are people and shouldn't be judged because of their preference in religion. Peace is represented in the chapel regardless of what our group members believed in.
Synopsis
Each photo has a different meaning and representation of how we view the world in religion. Our photos consist of the cross, which is a worldwide symbol for catholicism, with hands praying cropped on the photo, representing prayer and religion. The other photos are through the vision of a hijab, which represents the muslim religion. That is a combination of 3 photos. We edited all of the photos to be in black and white to show that religion isn't a black and white issue. Religion isn't something that can devalue or add value to an individual. It's a play off of that idea. The final photo of the chapel, representing the neutral views of religion, there is no specific faith that goes into that place. It then shows life and death by the haunting ghost-like figure as well as the contrast of black and white which represents life and death. Also, the creepy organ player in the back playing obvious sound.
Symbolism of the Catholic faith. This photo of the cross was taken in front of the basilica in Rome, one of the most famous basilica's in italy.
Double Entendre, Metaphor, Reduction Form/Symbol
This represents the Muslim's view from their hijab. It shows the progression of this person religiously following their faith in the chapel.
Multi-Frame, POV/Perspective, Framing of the image
This photo is taken in the chapel in order to symbolism peace. The chapel is a place where all religions are welcomed to worship according to their own choosing. It is meant to symbolize harmony amongst religion and represent how all people are equal. We can all find common ground regardless of our differences in life styles/views. Also the presence of the ghost-like figure represents life and death. A chapel is usually a place full of life and we contrasted this notion with the ghost in this photo.
Life and Death, Implied Sound
Final 1
I toyed around with different edits that the class suggested such as black and white, blurring the people to give the effect of being drunk. I decided that it was best to leave the original photo. However, I slightly darkened the photo and the X's in order to make them appear bolder.

Title: Exile
Partner: Michael W
Medium: Photoshop
For our piece, Michael and I wanted to capture an isolated personality with a series of objects and symbols. We chose a semi truck's dashboard to frame these things and tie them all together. Through the religious symbol, family photos, condoms, bills, and beer in combination with this setting we gain insight into the life of our fictional character. We are inside his inner sanctum. We are inside his head.

Perspective
- Cake/Baker (Great concept! Great composition. Best overall)
- Cigarette (Very interesting idea. Not something I would've thought of. Great use of digital tools.)
- Car Kidnapping (Framed well. Great composition. Innovative idea.)
- Stage/Dancer- frame 3 (Frame three was the best overall. It captured the perspective of a dancer or stagehand behind the main dancer. It worked really well and the composition was beautiful.)
- Trippy Peephole- "the mind" (Interesting concept. Creative way of carrying out the photo. I'm surprised it worked.)
- Boyfriend/Flowers (Probably the best conceptually. Definitely stands apart from the others.)
- Sandwich (Very detailed in the way it was carried out. Very thorough. Well done.)
- Soccer Game (It seems like a lot of work went into this piece!)
- Pandini's Employee (Really good conceptually. Great idea!)
- Studying in Library (Framed really well. Bright, vivid colors.)
