In this assignment we had to bring in 4- 5 Items and take pictures of them to turn into popart, we would then put them into photoshop and adjust the lighting a curves to brighten the picture up. After that we created 4 diffrent tiles on a document that were all diffrent colors. After that we adjusted the Hue/ Saturation on the objects to give them a diffrent color and make them look popart like. (shown below)
· The images that Inspired me where the ones that people had made using anime and video game characters and putting them into a pop art style.(2 examples shown)
The time period Pop art started to be popular and was part of an international Phenomenon in various cites was in the mid 1950's and onward. It was most commonly used for posters and art to be exhibted for example the campbell soup by Andy Warhol,or the Marilyn Monroe also by Andy Warhol. Pop art was also used for comic strips in magizines and comics.
i I did research on some artist like Andy Warhol, and James Rosenquist. Andy Warhol was an American pop artist known for his prints of consumer goods, Photogrphed disasters and celebrite., and James Rosenquist was an American Pop artist who painted feature fragments of face, cars, consumer iteams and other iteams in weird juxtaposition.

The props I used were a Gameboy SP, Pokeball, Arcade box, and a Space invader toy. I took around about 4-5 shots of each object and chose which one looked better out of them. After that I putt them into photoshop and editing them to look like popart.The planning wasn't that bad I didn't have to rely on anyone to bring things in for me, The planning that I had to do was bring my props in book a camera out for the correct day and have the soft box adjusted to be the correct height.
My photography looked like how I planned it out and I was impressed with how it turned out. We used a softbox light for the lighting, A seemless background(white card) for the background and a birdseye view tripod. The location was the classroom next to ours E130. The apperture was f/3.5 and the ISO was 100.
The techniques I used where using diffrent layers to have the diffrent tiles (shown below)
After that I did the levels and curves on the photos taken, after that I adjusted the Hue/Saturation (Ctrl+U) which made them have the popart style(Shown below)
Did your photography effectively meet the requirements of your proposal and the brief? Are they fit for purpose?
The requirements was to crete 4-5 popart images on Photoshop using Items you have brought in from home. I believe that I did everyhting requred to make it look like popart and I'm impressed with how it all turned out.
What would you do differently next time and what did you learn from this assignment?
I think I would experiment more if had more time to find diffrent settings and maybe change the colors more so they is more variation between each piece.
