Book Stack Assignment:
Stack #1: Missing Art work
When trying to think up the first stack, I knew I wanted it to have something involving mystery and relations to detective casefiles. I very much enjoy watching mystery themed content and thought it would be fun to start the assignment there. With this, I interpret this bookstack as:
We are looking at art pieces and the colour’s, the beauty and emotions they contain. The piece then becomes lost and the trail runs cold, there is nothing anyone can do but close the file for now and list the art piece as a lost masterpiece. However you can also interpret this as an art piece being destroyed and no one can figure out who would do such a thing, what happened? This then lead me to edit the photo to give a basic colour tint and nothing to sever.
Stack #2: To find yourself/ accepting who you are
With the second stack I had to dive mainly into my roommates/close friends books, so I took a different approach to the theme and thought to base it off of her. This stack is trying to show someone on the path to find who they are and that they can accept themselves for what they look like and what their personality is to begin with. Taking someone that comes from a dark place and finally being able to put all the pieces in the right spot so they don’t have to second guess every last decision, that they are now in the light and can hold their head up high without worry. They are a Goddess. When editing the image I wanted a very warm feeling coming from it, so I added a warm layer over the other modifications.
Stack #3: The story of their end
When completing the last 2 bookstacks I knew I wanted this last one to be the classic “with you until the end” I thought to start this story as if it was a person reading a letter that they have just been handed after opening the door. As they have read through the letter and realize whatever point the other person/lover/friend, ect. They went to meet up and have one last day together before ending their story before anyone else could get hurt seeing as the letter was implying that they were something the world would be better without. This bookstack would have to be my favorite, however I’m not completely sure as to why. I wanted the image to give off a dull get still life like feeling, as if it came from a movie with the plot being some non realistic documentary. So instead of giving a sad vibe and putting a cool tone over the image, I set out to try and keep the colour, but just have it muted in some way.
