Midterm Assignment

I found a very interesting assignment: Wait, where did the guy come from?
The aassignment was to make a photograph with someone who is not supposed to be there..haha


I looked up the participants work on their blog, and I found some of  them are very unique and creative.
On the blog of Timmmmyboy, the author combines one image of a guy with images of scene of popular film to make the image very interesting.

Other work from Admin combine an image of Darth Vader with a image from scene of Star Trek.

Yaisuri Salamanca conbined the image of her with image of film "Twilight".



At first I saw it, I did not feel any strengeness because it well matched.
It is fun to play with photos to make original picture.


Well I cannot make photograph right now so I am just going to introduce a interesting photo with someone who is not supposed to be in the picture.

Orphan?

Harry Potter is a orphan as his parents passed away when he was a baby.
But I am not sure if the boy behind Harry represent a orphan..but still funny.

In One Piece, a Japanese famous anime, sometimes Pandaman which is not a official charactor of the anime suddently appears!
I found a youtube video that collected all the scenes which the Pandaman appeared.


Because the Pandaman randomly appears on the anime, it is very fun to find the Pandaman.
Although I watched all the episodes, I missed so many Pandaman.

Social Media and Artists

Our group are going to talk about how artists promote themselves using social media.

I want to talk about an popular hair designer in Japan.


Her name is Atsue Nshioka.
She is described as an creative director who influence not only on beauty industry, but also on fashion and culture.
She puts her hairstyle on famous Japanese website, Biglobe.

Generally we can find hairstyle from magazines.
But sometime it is very difficult to follow the procedure by reading directions and looking at image.

However internet allows us to see the how to with video.
Oral explanations and moving image are so much clear and easy to understand compared to book.
See the video from the website.

All her hairstyle are cute, easy, and creative!



She also put her blog address the website, so her fans can communicate with her and they love to ask her question about beauty.
On her blog, she introduce some advice to attain beauty, healthy food, cute clothes and so on.


I think she is successful in promoting her beauty skills using the social media.
