Student Commentary
Briefly define the nature of your concentration project.
For my 2-D Design portfolio, I concentrated on abstracting objects in my everyday environment by looking at them from a different perspective.

Briefly describe the development of your concentration project and the sources of your ideas. You may refer to specific slides as examples.
As seen in slides 1 and 2, I started this portfolio by taking straight-on photographs of objects in my everyday environment. My idea of abstracting the objects began to develop, and I started to look more closely at the objects and to view them from different perspectives than one typically would, resulting in images such as slide 5. I explored the idea of abstraction further by using computer programs to alter my photographs in new ways.

What medium or media did you use?
For my concentration, I used a 35mm camera to take the photographs. If I chose to alter the photographs on the computer, I scanned the photographs and used either Adobe Photoshop or Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8.
