Ads Everywhere!

We have begun to study advertising and the various ways that print ads affect us.

-What techniques do ads use to sell their idea or product?
-How do color, body language, facial expressions and content affect the impact of an image?
-Where and when do we see ads in our everyday lives? How does this affect us?

We walked around for half an hour in Long Island City looking for as many ads as we could find. Below are just a few examples of the images we see just walking around out school.

Portraits

The first topic that we are covering is portraiture. First, we looked at the portraits of Steve McCurry and August Sander, as well as various artists on the photo blog LensCulture. Next, we set out to create our own portraits.
