Week 6
In order to create this first image of the series to describe Old Town I had to choose a background picture. For this first picture the object of attratcion is the town sign and by doing so I am displaying location/place in this piece. I chose this picture because it gave the essence of the town. Second City is a landmark known by many and is displayed in this image. I also like the way the shops are set up with the very unique architecture. I decided this sign was significant because I saw many throughout the town making you become aware that you are in Old Town. I decided by desaturating the background that the sign would pop and draw your attention in. 
The second image in the series is to draw attention to a thing of the town. I chose a significant thing in the town the Saint Michaels Church. This church was one of a few churchs that survived the Chicago Fire. I thought by making a collage of the many images I took at the Church would allow this object, the church, to be the main focus of the piece. I decided to choose the entrance of the church as the front piece of the callage in order to label what the object was in this scene. I cropped out the street sign, the building, the entrance, the statue out of other pictures and added them into the background picture of the ramp leading to the entrance. I created a unique placement in order to draw your attention to the church; that is why I put the full picture of the church in the left hand corner, tilted in order to draw your attention to the object. 
The last image of the series is people; I chose this background image because it not only had one of the Old Town Arches in it, but it shows the quaint atmosphere of the town. The people were placed where they are because I felt that the metal off the signs created a bench through the center of the photo. I put the people there because it seemed like the best location to really draw your attention in. These people are positioned in this way because everyone around the town looked to relaxed, talkative, friendly, etc. I also chose to desaturate the people because I thought it would draw even more attention to them.
