For my final assignment, the overall process took approximately 15 hours total. The project incorporates both appropriation and GIF-making, both of which are skills I have developed throughout the semester in Digital Approaches to Fine Art. Appropriation involves incorporating someone else’s work in your own work order to make a new piece of work, and GIFs are short, forever-repeating frames. I chose to use appropriation by creating a GIF of images from different seasons. My goal was to portray season change by putting together about 40 found pictures of all four seasons.<\/p>\n

The 15 hours put into this project went as follows:<\/p>\n

First, I had to think of an idea for an ambitious project that would properly demonstrate the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual skills which I have developed over time in this course. Coming up with an idea and planning it out took about three hours. Then, I gathered content. The content consisted of images from the Web of trees during different times of the year. I had to be sure to search for large images, as well as a variety of images representing each season.\u00a0Gathering content took four hours.<\/p>\n

I then had to group each image as one of the four seasons. I gave each image the name of a season, as well as the time period within that season. For example, early, mid, or late spring. This took about two hours.<\/p>\n

Uploading all of my images onto Photoshop was the next step. Once I uploaded the photos, I had to specifically order each image chronologically, in order to imitate season change as process. This step took two hours.<\/p>\n

Next, I had to resize, crop, and choose time between each image in the GIF for each individual image. This took an hour and a half.<\/p>\n

Once I completed all the steps to make the GIF, I saved the image for the Web. Completing the final GIF and saving it took approximately two hours.<\/p>\n

Throughout the whole project, I documented the process and the steps I took to completing it. This took half of an hour. To view the completed project, see my previous post, and click on the image.
