Lake - Gray Color Psychology


For my forth psychology picture I chose the color gray, because I think it gives the feeling of emptiness and blankness. Usually a lake with be full of life, but since it is such a gloomy day it looks very blah. In this picture I balanced the colors so the picture would look more sharp. I chose this scenery because there is a lot of reflection through out the river and there is a lot of contrast.

Stair Case- Color Psychology


I chose the color Rusty brown has my third Color Psychology picture, because i think it has a very antique and "old times" feeling to it. In this picture I balanced the colors to make it have a darker feel and I also blurred the background and erased the staircase to make the viewers eye focus on the staircase more. I think there's a lot of contrast which leads the eye up the staircase.

Yellow Hydrant - Color Psychology


I chose yellow as one of my colors for my color psychology pictures. I think in this case the color is a sign of warning and safety. I think there are a lot of yellow things in the world that show safety like signs on the road and certain things you are suppose to watch out for while your driving. In this case this hydrants yellow to make sure people notice it in case of a fire. In this picture I changed the picture to be darker and a redder tint to match the hydrant. I also cropped the picture so the focal point was more to the right and I also made the light in the lamp post to be redder.

Color Psychology - Flower


I chose the color orange for my Color Psychology picture, because I think orange is a color that means happiness, relaxation, and warmth. It really reminded me of summer and all the life and happiness that time of the year brings. I also picked this picture, because it is a great representation of pattern in the center of the flower and it has a lot of contrast with the red in the background. In this picture I added a texture to the flowers and I blurred the background so the viewers eyes were more focused on the orange flower.

Repulsive Bridge


I think many people could see this as repulsive because there are old house in the background and its my a graveyard. However, people could see it has attractive because of the beautiful river and scenery in the background.

Repulsive Tree


For my repulsive picture I chose a dead tree in my background, because this tree isn't to beautiful because all the leaves are gone and its drooping, because it is dying. However, I think people could see this tree a different way because it has a lot of cool curves in its branches and it has a sweeter form then a alive tree.

Attractive Cherries


For my second attractive - repulsive picture I chose a cherry tree from my front yard. I think it its one of the most beautiful tress in my yard, because the red cherries have a very vibrant purple red color to them. The branches are also very cool looking because they go in every direction so it gives in a very different look. I think however that the cherry tree is repulsive at the same time, because the cherries are poisonous so many people don't like to be around a tree can harm them. So in away even though this tree may look very beautiful to some it can look repulsive to others.

Attactive Cactus Plant


For my first attractive - repulsive picture I chose a Christmas Cactus plant, because I think they are very beautiful and crazy looking. They also have a very vibrant colors which makes them have a attractive look. However, I also think its repulsive, because people are usually scared to go by a cactus because it has a bunch of thorns and it could cause pain. So in the end its attractive by looks but repulsive my charactertics that protect the plant (thorns).

PEACE


For my motage I chose Peace as my theme. My background I chose, because it is very calming and relaxing, so I thought it was very peaceful and great for my theme. I had two people holding hands, because it shows that people with differences should get along and stop the hate. I chose a grave stone, because it shows that many people have died from war, shooting, etc so if we all came together and had peace it could really change the world. Also the stop sign represents that we should stop all the bad things in the world like racism, and killings because then will have a better world for the future.

FAITH


I chose faith as one of my themes for my montage, because it is a important part of not only my life but a lot of peoples lives as well. chose my background because its very peaceful and calming. I also chose hands praying, because that is a very important symbol in many religions. The flag in the upper right corner represents how people have the choice to pick there religion in America, and not get judged for that choice. The flowers on the bottom represent creation in the world, and the beauty and peace that comes from faith. Finally the cross in the background is more of the gloomy side of faith and the mistakes people can make in there lives. So in all if I could change this motage I would have came up with better pictures, that maybe weren't so cliche, but I still liked my final picture.

Neon Glow

SPACE


There are many reasons why i chose this scenery for my collage. First, I chose the island as my background, because someday i want to either visit Hawaii or Florida. I also love camping, because its really relaxing, so that's why had the fire (the object i chose) and the camper/car in my picture (retro). I chose a chair, hammock, and plane for my negative space, because i like to relax in a hammock and i have always wanted to go in a plane. For my organic I chose a dolphin and a squirrel, because they work with the tropical setting. I chose a lighthouse and a hut, because those are my favorite buildings and i chose a lilac as my radial object, because i love the color purple and its my favorite flower.
