I am a graphic design major, so I decided to make this particular piece very typical of a graphic designer. The irony is: the images used to compose this final piece were not abstract shapes or generated with a program such as Adobe Illustrator. The faces in the background was a single photo of a comic book-like painting, hanging on the wall in Holman Hall on the campus of The College of New Jersey. They were simply copy and pasted behind the blinds. The blinds were in front of a window, also located in Holman Hall. The only editing done to the blinds was the removal of a crooked blind to the far right, to keep the geometric flow more even.
The second image depicts stop signs placed in a simple geometric pattern. Like the first image, this one I wanted to do graphically, as well. This is a great example of how “simple is better”. It is simply a stop sign shape copy and pasted over again but placed in a geometric pattern. It also represents internal graphing, as you can see from the faint grey line. The entire image roughly forms an “x” shape image. The strength of the red sign against the white background was enough to allow me to not add more.
You can see a Georgian-style building, complete with plant-life and bushes in the foreground. This image was composed of three separate images: Green Hall (located on the campus of The College of New Jersey), a clouded sky, and bushes. The sky image was taken at Sourland Mountain Reserve in Hillsborough, New Jersey. Green Hall was kept the same (only the sky of the picture was removed). Finally, the shrubs were placed in front. The shrub in the front was slightly altered color-wise so it could show-up better. A slight blur was added, as well, to add depth to the final piece.
