Image Manipulation

Image manipulation

What do you want the reader to experience?

How do you remember the space?

How can you re-translate the idea behind the image?

Some processes to try: 

Stretching

Overlaying

Magnifying 

(Re-)photographing 

Duplicating 

Rearranging

Erasing 

Redacting 

Montaging 

Distorting 

Recreating 

Borrowing 

Folding 

Fading 

Intervening

Composition elements to consider: 

Line

Colour

Shape

Space

Form

Texture

Value

Visual Tension

Output

Outcome for task: 6 manipulations, these could be 2 of each original, 6 of one etc. Print out your work to an appropriate size and stick it on the studio wall so we can create new relationships between the work. Your work should be 300dpi.

Erasing:

In this first image I erased parts of the image to represent the way that you as the player can build and delete the design of the land.

In this one I erased the other peep in the image to suggest the ease of the player deleting them and controlling them.

Fading:

Using a gradient I made the image look as if it was fading or becoming less visible at the bottom. This represents the way in which reality and the simulation fade away as you play or as you stop playing.

Montaging:

This montage uses a scene from the simulation game and an image from real life. This represents the way in which the simulation game copies reality, and showing the contrast/similarities.

Borrowing:

These images borrow real life imagery that is similar to the scene from the game. The image is placed smaller to simply show the viewer the differences between the simulation and reality.
