Design Rational - Contact Sheet

In my contact sheet I tried to pick photographs that would best display the six different categories nessary in this assignment. For the resolution I chose a photograph of a bowl of cereal because the difference in resolution was much better than other photographs I tried. My theme through the entire contact sheer was to try and use pictcures that displayed everyday things. Therefore creating a possiblity for different perspectives on them. The picture's resoltion was much clearer with each adjustment.
The format process in changing the color of the picture was rather easy until I needed to to the Duotone. The brightness of the yellow in the rose was much harder for me to decrease than anything else in the picture. I found this section, however, to be one of my favorite to do, because it was interesting to play with the colors of the picture because each color scheme seemed to give it a different kind of mood.
The orientation section was different to do because though what ended up being the entire potrait was the main focus of the square and landscape orientation, once the excess was eliminated, it created a much more "intense" picture. For my framing section, I felt my picture worked really well with the wide angle and even the almost close-up parts. But when put into the close-up section, I didn't feel it worked as well as what I had planned.
The content section was a pictcure of another everyday object. Seeing the difference in representational to the abstract was easily done, but was much harder to do with the almost abstract.
On the purpose section I chose the picture of the barren landscape because I felt that was the best to create a difference when going from a rough content (journalistic perspective) to an artistic perspective. I enjoyed this assignment. Though I found some sections to be much harder than others when trying to pick pictures for each purpose.
