The Average of Lily
by Behind Blue Eyes June 9, 2012Visual Assignment 13— Averaging Concepts using Flickr (3 stars). This is a really cool way to make an abstract piece of art. The instructions for this assignment called for using the first 50 images produced on a Flickr search to create an “average” image. The end product reminds me of an abstract watercolor painting! I ... -
Seasonally Friendly?
by Behind Blue Eyes June 9, 2012Visual Assignment 129—Cropped Signs (2 stars). I’m finding these assignments a lot of fun. They really challenge you to look at things differently, creatively. The thinking about it, trolling for an appropriate sign and planning the execution was a little time consuming, but I was thinking about it all day, all week, looking around as ... -

If you’ve got them…
by Behind Blue Eyes June 7, 2012Visual Assignment 24–Troll Quotes (2stars). Okay, true confessions time: I have a celebrity crush on Sam Elliott. Despite the fact he’s more than 30 years my senior AND older than my dad, I find something about him sexy as hell. No Sean Connery for me. Sam Elliott all the way. If I only had him ... -

The First to Admit It (Checking Out)
by Behind Blue Eyes June 7, 2012Visual Assignment 44—Album Cover (2 stars). This was a fun and fairly simple project that I could do on my lunch hour at work. It also gave me a good opportunity to try a few free web-based photo editors. For this project, I used FotoFlexer (www.fotoflexer.com) In keeping with the instructions of the assignment, here’s ... -
Troll Quotes
For this assignment, I found an image of a (fairly) well known figure, Coco Chanel. Then, I added a quote by Marilyn Monroe, one that I find mildly amusing, and attributed the quote to Audrey Hepburn. I knew I wanted to use these three women. Marilyn Monroe has a pretty distinct image, so I decided ... -
Optical [head]llusion
This is an old picture I had that was great for the optical illusion visual assignment. My friend and I were finding ways to make optical illusions one night because we were just bored and thought we’d make funny pictures. I decided that I wanted to cut her head off with some scissors & it ... -
[Wear] is the Error = )
I LOVEÂ mysteries, so I had to do the “where is the error” photo. I wanted to make it easy, just fun at the same time. I know everyone loves shoes, so I found 2 pair of my bright colored shoes and some sandals and did the photo. This probably was the more fun one to ... -
Love.Love.Love.
Love. Ha, isn’t it wonderful. This assignment was inspired by my love for my male friend that means the world to me. When I saw they had a visual assignment that allowed me to show my passionate side I had to do it. The 3 pictures above are just a few pictures of us being ... -
Give me a “D” a “R” an “A” a “W” an “I” and a “T” what does that spell >DRAW IT
This one was probably the easiest. I chose to use the picture of my cheerleading squad because people always drew pictures of us. Sadly, I do not have any of those photos, so creating a drawing from a picture was the next best thing. This is a photo from my senior year of cheer and ... -
Pop Art’N Myself
Growing up, I always wanted to be a pop star. When I seen this particular visual assignment, I knew it was a my chance to pretend I was a pop star. I ALWAYS wanted to be this famous singer and also a ob-gyn on the side (yeah, what a dream). This was very exciting for me ... -
