Batch Image Critque

This critique I found myself realizing that there were so many approaches to this project that I had not considered. I think I took the right approach in not narrowing down the facial features, however. In some of the final projects, some people had not realized that by cropping just one photo so tightly, you may not get the information you want in each of the other pictures because of the orientation of the first.
A lot of people described mine as interesting, but there was one comment that I really agreed with.
The colors of the blocks I had chosen could essentially wash some of the photos out. Because of that, next time I may use more opaque and contrasting colors in my final version.

Batch Image Project

Initially, I thought of this project as another challenge for me to abstract the face. However, after a few trials, I realized I did not want to simplify the face into something as boring as line and movement (although this is usually never boring, it was becoming somewhat predictable for me). So, I decided to focus instead on the composition of all of the photographs together. I decided that blocks of color would help bring out the different backgrounds and object orientation of each photo. I also wanted to make them very grainy to help make them somewhat more digitized, as this is something i often struggle with.

I did not run into very many obstacles in this project, other than in the adobe bridge aspect. For whatever reason, I could not seem to create one folder with all of my batch images there. Next time, I will make sure to go slow enough that I remember where I put my folders and name them appropriately. I also wish I had made my slideshow more interactive with my pictures because presentation can either ruin or make a project sometimes.
