Summary about idea

I wanted to combine my photos of cats and buildings that are around my area because I have plenty of access to those.

#1 Cat double exposure - Since I had good practice using double exposure I thought this is a good chance to design my own with pictures of my own cat and I think double exposure has a lot of potential for visually appealing silhouettes and imaginative elements.

#2 Cat on top of building - I thought of this only after seeing the reference. I find it very fun to look at and it would be interesting to see what my take on it would look. I also see this as a chance to practice blending things into an environment.

#3 Cat latched on building – I thought this was a fun way to manipulate images and also another good chance to blend 2 images together.

Description

Two giant cats curious about the world. They enjoy jumping from building to building and are surprisingly light-weight despite their size. Although they might seem intimidating, they harbour no ill will and are only interested in exploring the world. You might be lucky to catch a glimpse of them for they do not stay around for a long time.

It emphases on thinking iconic, simple but also unique. The six core pillars are shapes, building a recognizable silhouette, color defines personality. Emphasis directs the viewer to a focal point, and contrast pairs opposing elements to make the visual pop. Finally harmony blends everything cohesively so the characters fit their world, while expressions and poses instantly communicate their attitude and energy. Chiaroscuro Lecture is about how chiaroscuro use light and shadow to create a 3D illusion on a flat surface, increasing dramatic tension. An extreme form is tenebrism, which spotlights key details like faces or hands against a close to all black setting to create a bright foal point. In visual narrative, this helps separate positive space from the negative space. Overall manipulatin...
