DISTORTION PROJECT ASSIGNMENT
For the distortion project, we were asked to come up with a design that reflected some element of distortion, be it exaggeration, or some other form of emphasis. I selected a photo of a pregnant woman doing yoga and used a 2nd photo of a basketball to emphasize the fact that often times, being pregnant can be the equivalent of lugging a basketball around with you 24 hours a day. The basketballs look as though they are bouncing both off to the left side and towards the viewer, getting larger in size as they approach the front of the picture, and remaining smaller as they are viewed from a distance. Finally, I altered the picture by applying a grain-like appearance to minimize the fuzziness in the photo quality of the woman in the original photo.
