9/7 IMD II – Collecting Visual Artifacts

Use today to continue your search. A good search will add bullets to your inspiration web diagram.

DUE TOMMOROW: 200 artifacts

REMINDER: You will need your sketchbook tomorrow in lab!

HOMEWORK: Read the article learning composition
http://photodoto.com/learning-composition-foreground-middleground-background/

Answer the following questions from the article:

Describe the characteristics of an image photographed with a small aperture

Describe the characteristics of an image photographed with a large aperture

How can you draw interest to a specific part of an image?

How do people often scan a photograph?

What is the rule of thirds and why do we use it to compose an image?

What should you take into consideration with background middle-ground and foreground when composing an image.

Use this information to answer the questions below:

NOTE: Each camera and lens system will vary, dslr bodies also commonly use half and one third steps for exposure

Apertures available on the lens
2.8 4 5.6 8 11 16 22

Shutter speeds available on the camera
1000 - 500 - 250 - 125 - 60 - 30 - 15 - 8 - 4 - 2 - 1 - B


What is the largest aperture available on the lens?

What is the B shutter setting for?

Which aperture setting makes a larger opening inside the lens f/2.8 or f/22

Stopping down from f/8 to f/11 will let more or less light into the lens?

If you camera meters at f/8 @ 1/60 what would the equivalent exposure at f/5.6?

If you camera meters at f/5.6 @ 1/30 what would the equivalent exposure at f/2.8?

If you camera meters at f/4 @ 1/15 what would the equivalent exposure at 1/30?

If you camera meters at f/22 @ 1/2 what would the equivalent exposure at 1/250?

9/3 IMD II - Concept Map

It’s time to start shaping your ideas into an interactive resume.

Create a concept map using inspiration add at least 150 points to the map, this should be from your strongest map, or be a hybrid of all three.

After you’ve completed this task start finding resource images from the points on your concept map. This process should inspire more points to be added as you do your visual research. Try Flickr.com for detail images of just about anything. Create a folder and divide into specific sub folders to organize your visual content. If you are unable to find enough content you might want to think about a different direction on you ires.
