Warhol

For this project, I took an image, copied it four times into a photoshop document. I turned the threshold on in the picture using the threshold feature under adjustments. Following that, I took some of the natural colors from the original picture and used those to dye each individual frame. The blue comes from his shirt and jeans, and the greens come from his hat and the grass in the background.

Six Images

This project is a series of six images, each telling their own story as a part of the movie, or the movie's themes. I chose to go with all black and white images. All these images are from the actual Rwanda Genocide. Some of them are children, some are families, and all of them all share their own story. Each one tells or shows something that's of worth. All of them really make you stop and think about how The Genocide really affected the people. They show the emotion that goes along with the story.

Movie Poster

For this project, we were supposed to make an original movie poster for Hotel Rwanda. I chose to use images that are pulled from actual scenes in the movie. I centered the poster on one image. This image shows the main character standing in front of his people. I especially liked this one because it showed his leadership throughout the movie.

One word.

Following the viewing of Hotel Rwanda in class, we were given a list of three projects to do as a reflection to the movie. This project is a one word text illustration of the themes in the movie. I chose the word bravery, because no matter what is going on in their lives, the genocides never give up. They never lose hope because if they do, they may lose their life. I think it is immensely brave for someone to not only survive during those times, but to also be a leader when the people need it most. This is portrayed in this movie very well, and I created some images to show the bravery they had to go along with my word.
