Transportation Poster Project
For this project, we had to pick a social issue and take fifteen pictures of things relating to it. Then, we had to create a poster in photoshop to display these pictures. I had a lot of difficulty doing this project due to having to rush to take all of my pictures following my SD card corrupting all of them. However, I am satisfied with the end result of the poster and I learned a lot in the process.
For this picture, I photographed the tires of my mother’s care. I really like the angle that I took this picture as I think that it adds interest. This is one of the better pictures of this project because while I could have taken a picture of the car straight on, I chose a different angle.
I took a picture of a fire truck at a fire station for this photograph. I like how bright the red in the photo is and the way it is framed. I had to take this picture really fast because I stopped at the firestation and the firefighters were there while I took the picture.
For this photo, I took a picture of my mom walking to get the mail. I love this picture because her feet are in stopped motion and because of the beautiful flowers that make up the background.
For this picture, I took a photo of the Uber app on my iPhone. Uber has become a very popular mode of transportation in recent years, almost taking over the cab industry. Uber is an app on smartphones that allows someone to ask a driver to pick them up at any location.
This picture on the poster is of a someone’s boat parked outside of their house. This is not one of my favorite pictures due to the angle it was taken and the lighting. I took this picture around five in the afternoon so there was a bit of a glare on the picture because of the angle of the sun.
I took the picture of this motorcycle in an alley behind an office building. I really like this picture because it looks quite different to a normal motorcycle in that it has bright colors and looks kind of retro.
This photo is of a mail truck that is stopped. I took this right as the mailman was driving away so is not one of my best pictures.
This photo is of a metro bus parked while people were boarding it. Although the metro is not a very popular mode of transportation in our community, it is still an integral part of society and is very popular in more metropolitan areas around us.
This photo of a taxi logo is one of my favorites of this project also. It is kind of rare to see taxis in our neighborhood so I was very lucky to find one. After asking the driver if I could take a picture of his car, I quickly snapped the picture and it just so happened that it came out exactly how I wanted. Normally, I would spend a bit of time on each picture and take a bunch of them from all different angles but I immediately liked how this one turned out.
This photograph is of a bicycle I rode all of the time when I was a child. I took the picture at this angle from above to create interest, rather than just taking the picture of the whole bike from the side.
For this picture, I took a photo of a school bus in motion, just after it had picked up students from an elementary school. At one time or another in their life, most people have rode the school bus and it is a major part of the school experience. Because the bus was moving, I put the camera on a high shutter speed in order for it not to be blurry.
I took this picture from the back of a pickup truck filled with building supplies like wood and metal. I had to zoom in significantly in this picture because of the lighting at this time of day. I would have tried to retake a picture of a different pickup truck but I did not have time because of the issue with my SD card.
For this picture, I photographed a tractor in the mud. I like this because normally, when you think of transportation a tractor does not come to mind. However, it is an underrated form of transportation that is used on farms by farmers.
The photo of the retro trailer is my absolute favorite. I love all of the stickers on the back and how it reminds be of the 1960s and 1970s. I was so excited when I saw this trailer parked on the side of the road as I was not expecting to find something so creative.
The last picture is of a kid riding his skateboard. I asked him if I could take a picture of him doing a trick and I snapped the picture right as he landed. I really like this photo because he is still partially in the air and the skateboard is at an interesting angle.
Overall, although I had significant difficulty with this project because of the technology I used, I am happy with the outcome. I like the colors that I used on the poster as well as the font and I think that they complement the pictures nicely.
