VisualTutorials107 – Assignment Bank

My remote is one of thee most frequently used objects in my room, if it wasn’t for the remote it would be a pain to get up and change the channel as well as turn on and off the t.v. or switch it to DVD. For the Common Everyday Object assignment, we had to take a picture of a common everyday object, and manipulate the colors. Not only did I change the colors to a very light Sepia color I changed the texture to give it more of a rugged look. I accomplish this by using an app on my iPhone called Camera Awesome. However, with this app you cannot upload images and change the colors, you have to take a new picture. I took the picture first and I changed the color of the image to Lone Star. This image was quick and fun and worth 2 stars.

Common Everyday Object

The Assignment
After reading TUJournal’s blog post, I also decided to do a Visual Assignment called Common Everyday Object by Elizabeth Castillo. The directions are:

Take a picture of a common everyday object and manipulate the colors.

For this assignment, I’m going to try to do it in a tutorial form.

The Process
First, I took a photo of my own PC because to me, my PC is an everyday object.
I decided to do my editings on my iPad using an application called PhotoPad.

1. On the application, I opened my photo.

2. Then I made my entire photo black and white so that I could emphasise some colours.

3. I made my keyboard purple because keyboards are not usually purple.

Because I had a lot of time today, I coloured in the keyboards one by one.

4. I also put colour on the screen to look more unusual.

The Story
This assignment was fun to do because I could play around with the colours. I coloured on the photo myself so although it’s not really nice, I think it came good. It would be fun if there was a PC like this in real life too!
If this PC really existed, the owner of this PC will be a person who likes colourful things. The screen is a rainbow coloured screensaver and the keyboard is purple from the first.
