Peer Critique

Allison’s Digital Typography Picture
            From observing Allison’s Digital Typography Picture, it is of a fuzzy dandelion with the word wish in it. It also has the sky as its background which means that the picture was taken looking up.
            I think that this piece of art is organized very well because the word and the picture fit perfectly together. The way that the colors play a role in this picture are; all light and aerie colors that you would assume to be for this type of picture.           
How I think this photo portrays to the word in it and the audience is that when you blow off all of the fuzzes, you make a wish. So I think that this picture really fits together to serve its purpose.

Antique Photo



Iconic Photo Critique





                                             Lewis W. Hine (America 1874-1940)
                                           Icarus Atop Empire State Building, 1931


Lewis Wickes Hine was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on September 26, 1874. He bought his first camera in 1903 and began to take pictures to help with his teaching. He mostly took these pictures to show poverty and children who worked in sweat shops.

I really liked this photo because it just jumped out at me by having the picture so focused on the man that you don't really see a background right away. As you start to observe the image, you can see that he is very high up in the sky because the skyscrapers are so small.

This photo is significant because it portrays all of the risk that Americans had to take while on the job.
