polaroid

   

     The strongest technical aspect of my work is having the three layer background with different opacity levels and different blending modes. Having Gillette Stadium saturated matches well with Rob Gronkowski; it does not take away from the main focus. Also, having his name vertically and at a lower opacity really brings out the colors in the background. The technical aspect that could be improved on possibly playing around with the background a little more to see if something where to work better.
     The easy part of the activity was picking out which picture to use. I knew that I wanted a picture of a Patriots player in action during a game. When I saw this picture of Rob Gronkowski, I knew it would be a god picture for the polaroid project. The difficult part about this art activity was placing the polaroids in just the right spot. I knew that I wanted both of his arms popping out of the polaroid, but it took me more time to figure out where to put the other nine polaroids.
     I demonstrated the objective in this art activity by making Rob Gronkowski's extended arm come out of the polaroid and by having his arm/hand hold the football come out of the polaroid as well. Also, I had three different backgrounds; the first one is a picture of Gillette Stadium, where Rob Gronkowski plays football, the second one is a black background that has his name vertically on the right side (I used a lower opacity on the black background so you can see the other backgrounds), and the third is the color red that is from his helmet (I used a different blending mode, which made the colors really pop and stand out more). If I could do this art activity again, I might choose a different background or pick a different picture of a different Patriots player to mess around with.
