Craft: For the black hair piece I used the box tool for the background. Then I added the solid green color. Next, I put a gradient on it and added blue and kept the white and back on the gradient. Then, I added a radial shape of the gradient and dragged it until I got the achieved look. Then, using the "place tab" I added all of the images and sized all the boxes to be even. Next I added the shade drop and dotted border from the border section in my tool bar of the top and made the dots white. I added the text box using the text box tool. For the paint I simply embedded the image with the place tab and because the first image had a colored background I couldn't change, I added it to the overall design with the cover page as well. I used a text box for the title and body paragraph which I added dashed (3-4) border to.
Concept: This week I added my black hair spread and my paint spread. The black hair is basically what the title states, talking about black hair as a black woman. I love changing my hair and I always wanted to be in one of those black hair magazines, so I thought it would be cool to have one of my own. The paint spread is basically a piece I created in high school using the paint application on my laptop. It took a very long time to do and I thought it was unique to show what you can create on such a basic and old application.
Composition: The black hair has a dynamic background using color very close to each other on the color wheel and black and white with a gradient. The photos on top have no contrast and actually blend with the background. Yet they sit on top of the background because of the shadow drop and the white dotted border. I hint of white at the bottom make the overall picture a little less overwhelming and the black shapes give contrast and increase the readers attention. The paint has low and high contrast with the light yellow and dark red, the black and white, and the browns. The use of ample white space draws the readers eye to the text and image. It also give the feel as though everything on the page is floating it space which give a nice raw feel. Almost like someone drew it directly on the page.
