Pre Zombie Apocalypse

On the picture we can see a little bit of everything (food, cleaning supplies, cat food and litter, medicine), that’s why we assumed it might be a storage room. However, after looking on the picture for some time we realized that there are price tags on the shelves, and this is probably some kind of a store or gas station. Although, after zooming the picture in, it becomes more visible that it is a store, because you can see two people walking between shelves. At first we thought that it’s one shelve and everything there was packed tight. There are many different colors on the picture, and picture seems kind of blurry at first, but when you focus, you are able to see what’s on the picture. You can see a variety of different products, such as different kinds of drinks or cereal. Emotional impact from the picture might be challenging to tell, because we see groceries every day and our feelings about them are hard to understand. It depends how hungry a person is. The picture was taken probably after lunch or maybe before, because there are not many people on the picture and the shelves are mostly full of products. If the photo was taken before lunch then a lot of people would come soon to get something to eat, but if this photo was taken right after the lunch, then the store would probably be quiet for some time. This photo might convey people’s needs, and something that most people need pretty much same things.

Color assignment

My favorite color is royal blue (I found picture on the internet). I like the way how it looks like on silk or satin. On the picture above you can see how it plays with the texture and shadows. Royal blue makes the fabric looks very alive and beautiful. If I would see somebody wearing royal blue, I might stare at them with a delight. This color makes me feel so happy and relaxed.

Triangle, Circle, Square

Here is a photo of my cousins' dog that I took about a year and a half ago.

 

And here is an isolated black and white picture with squares, triangles and circles for the project.
