Pictures from lens

Picture 5

This picture shows the image from the eagles point of view and there is a symmetry splitting the picture in two halves and there are two spotlights on either sides of the eagle. There is also an off set coca cola bottle on the left side of the eagle. Also there is no one showing their faces so the one guy who is facing the eagle and the photographer almost stands out. There is a lot of lighting in the photograph so you can see the players and the the things on the ground specifically. Also, the uniforms are more stand out because of the lighting. There is a lot going on in the view of eagle and it's not as chaotic.

Multimedia Fest 2015 Poster Questions

Why is it good?
The pictures on the poster are well structured and it looks more creative and the information including the font and the style looks really good.

Why is better than the last one?
We didn't know how to make a good poster before and we were struggling to figure out how to frame the pictures, make the writing look good and we didn't know how to make our poster not conjugated.This poster that we made this week, completes all the flaws from our previous poster and it is not as conjugated as before.

What did you do to create it?
We tried to make our background more appealing this time with the gradient. We made our font and writing more appealing and more visible too. We used our tittle in a slanted way too to make it look different. We also blurred the edges using feather radius to make it go in the background. We also used arrows and lines to connect the laptop screen with our images.
