Midnight Moment: Jason Akira Somma, Times_Square_Analog_Portrait
June 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019
every night from 11:57pm-midnight
Jason Akira Somma is a filmmaker and choreographer who investigates how we experience, process, and participate in the cultural systems that surround us. Times_Square_Analog_Portrait is a conceptual portrait of one of the most distinctive aspects of the neighborhood: the spectacular electronic billboards that display advertisements — and the Midnight Moment program itself. The work is part of Somma’s series of institutional portraits designed to reflect the environment of the presenting institution or platform. Somma created Times_Square_Analog_Portrait from footage of the electronic billboards, video feedback enlivened with hand-operated camera movements, and signal manipulation using electromagnetic and light frequency information he recorded in Times Square on custom analog devices.

NUMBER THREE IN A SERIES OF 1-2-3.
AN UNUSUAL OPTION. This is a portrait setting with a stylized frame theme, in poster format.
This poster idea allows for an extra dimension in framing, an outer border with a message area. I've used a generic message here just to give you a general layout. The real thing would likely be more personal and special.
Poster format suggests a poster size print. Certainly possible (for a wall), but it could just as well be a print in desk-top dimensions. Screen-saver? Party banner? Cake frosting? Greeting card?
The poster format's image area itself was the #2 of three options in this framing series. A glass theme was established early-on in options #1 and #2 by the illusion effect of a faux cut glass inner border. That continues to set the display stage for this #3 version as well. The poster format print is at its best mounted in custom beveled glass, completing the classy glassy context. A jewel-like end product and a fine personal gift.
Mark is showcasing the work of a number of South African based freelance graphic designers and illustrators over the coming weeks.Self portrait poster series on the theme of xenophobia, based on the words of Mexican director, and screenplay writer, Guillermo Del Torro, was created by Sindiso Nyoni, a Zimbabwean designer/ illustrator. Sindiso describes his work as uniquely African street style with an international, cosmopolitan feel.
In my picture I met the project goals by utilizing contrast and emphasis to execute a portrait design. The red of her dress against the green of the grass helps to emphasize her against the grass while also providing contrasting colors to make her stand out against the grass furthering the principles of contrast and emphasis.
While taking this photo, I had my sister lie down in the grass and I posed her how I liked. I then proceeded to stand up and face the camera down on her so it was flat and she was in the middle. Next I edited the photo in photoshop to display more contrast amongst her and the grass and to possibly provide a sense of rhythm through the photo.
I think I did well on providing a sense of emphasis and contrast between the red and green throughout the photo.
I wish I could have made the line more even so that it was a lot less choppy as well as making the spacing of her even so that the lines were the same width and length of the grass strips.
