Congressional Art Project
The intended message of this piece is to show that at the end of the day, our government is made by American citizens and not corporations and companies that want to make a profit. I used this piece because I never used these skills before and I really liked the result of the piece. I used Adobe Photoshop and learned how to make a text portrait and new ways to use the overlay feature. I would add a silhouette of people saluting the flag if I had more time to modify this piece. I liked the freedom I had for choosing what I could do for this project. I found doing the overlay and transparency to be the hardest part of this project. I wouldn't choose something different because this was exactly what I wanted for my piece.

Wow, your idea was great! What shows that our government is made of american citizens in this image? Getting a sunset that is a little less colored (more blue) would have set the graphic off more, it would have made the flag the main point of the graphic.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of putting words on the flag. I suggest that you make the text a little bigger so people can read it. Is the text on the flag the Preamble of the Constitution?
ReplyDeleteI really love how this looks! What is the text in the white of the flag? I would suggest making the sunset colors a little less intense.
ReplyDeletereally good job.what does it say in the white? i suggest you add more lighting so we can see it better.
ReplyDeleteI really like the color matching. How would you improve this if you had more time? May I suggest that you add maybe a little bit of contrasting colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting idea! Why did you decide to have a boarder around the flag? May I suggest that the typography go on top of the overlay rather than below it would make the slogan stand out more. - Period 7
ReplyDeleteI love the text and how it resembles the constitution. Why did you choose to do a sunset? I would suggest making the text legible if your close to it. (Whatever it is, I would suggest making it the preamble over and over, "We the people of the united stats in order to form a more perfect nation..."
ReplyDeletei love the idea of putting writing in the flag it makes it look more patriotic. i think making the flag look like it was waving would make it look a little better.
ReplyDeleteNice, proportionate, and vibrant, good job. Maybe add something a little more signature to you. Are YOU excited about this piece?
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic and definately catches your attention! Why did you choose the background that you chose? If either changed the backgrounds color or you change the flag up somehow, you will be able to see the flag better.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using text within the flag! What does the text say within the flag? I would suggest adding something else to complete the design.
ReplyDeletei like the way you meshed everything. may ask what the words inside say? may i suggest. changin font or bringing out the words better.
ReplyDeleteI like they way you put everything together. What does the words say inside the flag and why did you use that front. I think you should change it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the text in flag idea, however it's pretty hard to read. what made you choose the sunrise background? also may I suggest making the words a little bit easier to read, I think it'd really convey your message a lot better.
ReplyDeletei really like the font you used.why did you use white for the font color?may i suggest you chaqnge it to make it more visable
ReplyDeleteThe text looks good in the picture. I might suggest adding a different background so the text and it don't compete.
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea and the color scheme. Why did you leave the flag smaller than the background? May I suggest that you make the text a bit larger so we can see what it says.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you put this together.
ReplyDeleteWhy did you choice red as your main color.
I would suggest to change your background color.
the idea of this is great. Why would you put the declaration in there if you cant read it? i suggest making it less cluttered.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea, it works really well. Why did you chose to put the declaration in the picture? The declaration is unclear within the picture, may i suggest maybe clearing up the picture some to make it able to read.
ReplyDeleteThe sunset background was a great choice for this piece, it looks great! Which font did you use for the text? I would suggest showing more blue in the flag, there is tons of red.
ReplyDeleteI like the declaration inside of the flag. I would suggest making the USA stand out more by maybe putting a stoke in it. Why did you chose the clouds as the background?
ReplyDeleteI like how the background fits in perfectly with the picture. What does the words inside the flag say ? I suggest to put a stroke on the fonts so it can be more readable.
