ReplyDeleteI thought that the picture should have had more focus on either David shooting the ball or the basketball net,this is because if you focus on two different things the attention goes off and the picture becomes less appealing. Also the text didn't go that well together and the text didn't look a bit boring, the combination was not that good either.
DeleteThis is one of those okay pictures. I feel like the picture doesn't have much life and color and then when you look at the text, colour is pretty much all you see. I agree with Jamin, not more then one thing should be in focus, makes the picture confusing and not all that good to look at.
Deleteand advice?

ReplyDeleteI really liked how you guys used a lot of blood on the Hand to get the viewer attracted although I don't think you guys blurred it that good since everything in the background has the same focus as the hand. I think that you should have added a bit more blur to the back ground so that the bloody hand is in focus and it is more appealing to the eye. Without focus on the hand and no blur the picture looks kind of busy and makes it a but less appealing. Also the text was very hard to read so you should have used different and more bold colours. Another things is that the fonts of your text did not go well together which made the viewer not want to read it.
DeleteI really like the shot idea its a great concept that looks amazing and the scenery is just right so the view has an ok concept of whats going on. I just feel like you shouldn't of used that much paint/marker for the blood and you could of increased the blur other wise its a good shot
Deletei thought the pic was good after all but you used lots of paint for the bloody hand that it looked unrealistic
DeleteAbout this shot, I think it was a good shot itself however there are some changes to be made. I think that you could've worked a bit more on the focus since we understand what the picture is telling us but more focus would've made it more eye appealing. Also, making the font larger and bolder would've made it an even better shot since it's hard to understand some words because they're blending in with the background or the font is making it hard to read. Overall its a good shot that easily reminds us which part it was from the book.
DeleteI agree MANJOT WITH THE BLOOD BUT WE USED IT BECAUSE SEAN HAD BLOODY KNUCKLES AND IT WAS DRIPPING
DeleteThe photo was a great one but a bit more blurring and the amount of blood that was used was a bit to much. The text could be bigger and more understandable. I also think that the angle the picture in could be changed.
DeleteI agree wit's was Fiza said if only
DeleteThe text was more bolder it would have been easier to read. If you have only used the paint it would look more realistic
The bloody hand was a bit too much. The idea for the picture comes out perfectly, it's just that I don't think you knew how to actually portray it very well. I also think the text could've been bigger and should've had less colors so most of the attention was to the picture.

ReplyDeleteI feel that your picture could have been edited a bit better as it seems very bland and not very eye catching. For the text, the text part you used was great, its the colors that you used that disrupted the photo. The colors may have looked better if you used a blue or black&grey.
DeleteI think that your photo was okay but for the text it should of been a different color because at first i didn't know it said office.

ReplyDeletewell 4c stands out a lot the amount of fake blood is insane but it works it stands out so much and it works with the text. then there is 6a the shoe is the main concept about this photo. it is so defined due to natural blur also the saturation on the red brings it out even more. last is 6c the coke cans they stand out the most the blurred back ground and saturation makes all the better. i don't know the red stands out because the rest of the photo i dull and it looks like they have used just enough saturation where you can still notice the back ground. and for my final victor or the one which is most clear is 6c it tells the story perfectly the two coke cans and them playing basketball in the back ground sells it. also the quote goes with, it even if the quote was not there it would have still been noticeable where they got this part from. so i am going with 4c,6c,6a and for the second part it is 6c (also my overall favorite)
ReplyDeleteFeedback: picture 1a your picture instantly reminded me about rebound and over all it was a good picture and the editing was good but if you just found the correct angle you would have lead your picture to the next step were it can grab the readers eye and keep it there and if you wouldn't find the correct angle you would've made the colors in your picture pop like the blue sweater but the basketball was really dry and really didn't get as much of the attention, you would've also made the text pop right of your picture for the attention it deserves but overall it was good.
ReplyDeletePicture 2a your picture was also good but really it didn't really remind me of rebound in the first look because it can directly remind you of a parent or a friend but I guess if say that if you had found the correct angle which is really appealing to the reader and the editing could have been a little better and I liked the font that was used.

ReplyDeleteI thought that the meaning came out very well in this photo as it helps remember most of the book although a problem is that their picture in this case was not that appealing to the eye and the text ruined it even more, as it looks very simple and it looks like you just rushed to the text and just stacked it on, you should have took a little more time to do the text and edit the picture so that it looked more appealing.

ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw this picture my eyes were automatically drawn to it because the colour of the leaves were so saturated and focused. This made the picture look very appealing and was a job well done. Although maybe you guys could have changed the colour of the font because it was a bit hard to read. Another thing is that I didn't really recall that much from the book when I looked at this picture.

ReplyDeleteI really do like your photo it has really good composition. But it looks edited I noticed the use of centre focus. You have used the brightness a little to much. The person who is running seems to be in complete darkness while the person in the wheel chair is in bright light not only that but the light over the persons wheel chair is noticeably blurred. Which gives away the fact that this photos is edited. But don't worry it is not "too" noticeable not only that I have seen lot of edited photos so I might notice these things. But still keep this in mind you want it to be natural and not like some fake photos that are on Instagram.
DeleteI liked how the text was displayed in the picture because it looks like back and Forth dialouge and it just easy to figure out the picture, the clothing and the basketball shoes also made a huge difference.

Delete@devesh this picture is meant to look this way, it doesn't seem unnatural, there's a focus point in the picture which in this case is david in the wheelchair. since he is the focus point we decided to have to focus point on him since it seemed the right thing to do because the focus looked better there rather than on seans legs or the ground. it looks darker on the edges because we didnt want the focus point to be on something that wasnt supposed to be focused on.

ReplyDeleteI really liked your photo and it was actually amazing although I think that your text ruined them. Thre were too many words and the viewer would become bored just after looking and the picture as the attention goes to all those words which people don't want to read and just ignore.
DeleteI. Liked this photo because the letters we're put at the best spot or area and the David and Sean area were they were sitting was amazing it matched
DeleteThis shot is amazing the way everything is done the word pattern is amazing the blur is very well done and this shots been done so many times but in my opinion yours stands out cause the way everything is done good shot
Deletein my opinion i like all the different fonts that you had used but really, i thought it was jumbled and the photo looked great, with the smokers in the corner and you leave yourself a lot of space to work with for over but really, i think that you guys left yourself to much space for over. The text just ruins a great photo
Deletethis was well composed but i find that ground looks very bad it look like you are sitting in the mud or some thing like that
DeleteI like 3C because the way they put their text and the colors and also it mixes with everything in the picture and their quote really explains what the picture is trying to say and I think it also sort of explains that there is a bad guy (Scott) and a good guy (Sean) in the book!
Deletewe were focused on having a good amount of space so we could write the text on the picture. maybe this picture does have a lot of words, or a lot of space but we wanted to tell a story in that picture with those sentences, we wanted it to relate to rebound so we used what scott and sean said. if we had other sentences, it woulnt show much of what we were aiming for.
Deletewhat we tried to do was to have a bright photo that catches your attention and then incude text to sell the scene. The focus was put onto the cigarette and we tried to find a quote to match that. We purposely left a lot of space so we can add the text. We also left a lot of space because we didnt want too much going on in the picture and to keep the shot very clear and understandable.

ReplyDeletei really enjoyed your picture, your blur at the bottom of the pic was noticeable, but natural and how the different font you used blended so well. But, that has already been done before, and the quote was used many times over in other photos. sure i know what exactly happened in the story because of it but it was not as creative as it could be
Delete4B
ReplyDeletei really like the concept its amazing the words are put amazingly and its just an amazing shot. but i feel like you should of increased the brightness and and try to get the saturation but in the end its an amazing shot
DeleteI really like picture 5c a lot because I found it very appealing to the eye. I could easily figure out what the text by seeing the red hearts which are standing out. I also found that the combination of text that they used was very good. This picture also helps recalls from the text since after seeing the pictures of the girls you remember what they did after they met the girls and what happened before they had met the girls. I also like how the picture directly gives away the meaning and as soon as you see the pictures you realize the event which the picture corresponds to.
ReplyDeletei agree with jamin here, the text (black and whit) goes really well with the photo which is also black and whit, the hearts, being the only things that are not a tint but actually are a deep red, pop out from the rest of the text and the hearts clearly state that the seen must be when they met the girls or the dance

ReplyDeleteI really enjoy looking at this picture as i think it was an amazing shot! I think how the focus is put onto the bloody knuckles really made the picture stand out! the text that surrounds the picture also includes a great pattern of colours. When i look at this picture i just cant take my eyes off of it! This was a very neat picture!
DeleteLike I said in my previous post the amount of blood is too much don't you think. Also it is all over his hand shouldn't it only be on his knuckles. But even is it looks like a blood bath it is appealing to the eye the text plays along with the picture. The colours work it's an overall great photo
DeleteI agree with Devesh there was way to much blood in the photo Sean did have bloody knuckles but its like they dipped his hand in a bucket of fake blood, The photo was still good but it would have been great if there was less blood
DeleteDon't you guys think that the brightness of the blood is what really catches the viewer's attention and then the viewer also focuses on the background of the wheelchair, etc?
DeleteTommy and devesh don't you think that if we would've used less blood the picture wouldn't get the attraction that it is getting and if you look at the picture overall with the kunckles And the blood, the reader can make a connection to something different like a war.

ReplyDeleteAs i was scrolling through the pictures this one also caught my attention. The idea is great, you can automatically tell what scene from the book is being displayed in a picture, but i would say there is too much going on. The words are all over the place and the picture was overly saturated in the back. I think to further improve this picture you should include a focus point and blur out "David" in the background. Also you should decrease the amount of brightness and saturation level. Overall i think this was an amazing shot but it could use some touch ups.
DeleteYour photo instantly reminds me of the book. It's colorful and a great photo. But i think that the use of the laying on text was used way to much in this photo. The over lapping of words and the use of not using a certain color palette makes the picture look out of place. It look out of place because the colors that were used don't have anything in common and it makes the picture look busy. Since the picture look s busy i think that it creates havoc on the picture. If you had used more of a color plan it would've been a much better photo. The picture itself is a great one.
DeleteI liked your shot, the saturation was good and it was clever with David in the background. But the words got me confused, it took me almost a minute to understand because the words start from the bottom on their way up. So when the words confuse people don't want read it . Most people would want easy to understand. It takes a little while to understand, but as soon as you get it the whole sence comes back to. The picture and text show the scene really well.
Deletethe way my group did the words on the legs is that the actual legs would be a template, we blurred the legs and then when did over, we made sure that the text for " cant do that unless you got an extra pair of legs" were to fallow up then down the legs. and the saturation in the background was to emphasize that the background was the important part of the photo and before we did that, the background was pretty dull
DeleteSo im going on record to say the saturation is high because the lighting that day was terrible and it was to grab your attention and i had no power over the wording you will have to talk to ivan
Deletewow thx man, your so supportive

DeleteI really like your photo it is great! David drawing the girls was a clever shot I would have never thought of doing such a shot. Also the quote the the best line in the book. Also really good use of centre focus. Using the brightness option to your advantage.
DeleteThis is such a great photo, and the text just makes it an even better photo. I was instantly reminded about the scene where David had rolled passed the three girls. The use of the text brought out the photo it's more appealing and reminds me more of the text. Overall it is a great photo and the text made it an even better photo.
Deletewhat really helps it the black and white, since center focus inner and outer brightness changed to even darker or lighter, it would still look natural because we only did it slightly, to make sure that only the center was the main point, and we blurred the edges, but we put the words over the blur so it was not as noticable
DeleteI really like this picture because as manjot said, you could figure out the scene when you look at it.
Deletethere are alot of things i like about this photo one of them is that the the quote you used was amazing and also it was blurry

ReplyDeletei really liked this picture and how the shoe was put into focus with the school blurred in the backgroud. Even the pattern of the fonts and colours attracts your attention, but one thing i noticed was how the "nike shoes" as written dont actually match the picture. In the shot, jordans are shown but nike shoes is what the text states. If that one correction was made, the picture would flow with the text perfectly.
DeleteIf you think about it the editing and the text were nice, the picture it self did get some attention but didn't get me interested in the story as much as it would've. I mean to say is that if I or anyone who wasn't read rebound would just think that there's a guy with some expensive shoes. So here's a question what does the shoe represent and how would it get the readers eye and interest in the book?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
Delete@reshmi remember that at the cover of the book David had Jordan's but in the book it says that David had Nikes. The reason is that Nike produces Jordan and it's basically a type of shoe like for example Adidas makes reebok although they have different names and look different because they want to make money by selling shoes which people prefer. And the same with Nike and Converse and Nike and Jordan. That's why some Jordan's still say Nike Jordans. When you link the nike in the text with the Jordan's people automatically understand that Nike and Jordan are the same because they are the same

ReplyDeletethis picture was done very well but the blood on the concrete looks very fake it looks like dried up blood on the ground if you want blood to look real it should have some volume
DeleteI get what your trying to say but imitating real blood is hard. All we had done is put marker on the ground. And went along and is we had used paint it would honestly spread a lot and we don't want him to look like he is bleeding out so we divided to stick with marker.

DeleteI like 6c because it really sells that part of the story like you can see that their is a boy in a wheelchair who wants to verse someone with legs at basketball and i really like the way you guys blurred the picture but I don't think there's a lot of attention on the basketball part because the focus is all on the cokes but I don't think the cokes sell anything but if you guys kind of blurred the cokes and focused on the boys playing basketball it would've get more attention from someone who wants to read rebound! So maybe there should've been more focus on the basketball scene than the cokes! But overall I really like the picture and the blurry and also the text looks nice and mixes with the picture!!
Deleteeven though this picture has a basketball shot scene, and that most people wanted to do that as one of their pictures which bores you mr. cheney, i really enjoy looking at this picture because even though it has a basketball scene, thats not in focus, it has the coke cans in focus which i do think is clever because for once the picture isnt only focused on the shooter and the net. i also really like this picture because of where the writing is placed theyre not covering the focused part just on the background where it should be and the colours really go together in this picture. the red, grey and the blue. i like the spacing of the writing. so it covers certain parts and not all of sean and david. they shouldve wrote the title of the book and the author in a corner of the picture. maybe on the left bottom corner with a blue coloured font. i also think this picture brings memories of the book rebound because it has sean and david in the wheelchair both in the picture, they are shooting hoops, the coke cans are focused, and the text is about playing basketball. this picture reminds me of how everything started from the fight to how they are becoming friends throughout the book. i do think this picture is the most vivid so far from what ive seen.
DeleteI think this was a great shot! I think you guys put the focus on the right spot and it was very appealing that the background was blurred and the coke cans were in focus. The red colour of the coke cans itself was very neat since its a very bright shade of red and it catches the viewer's eyes easily. Also, the font was very appealing as well since it just went perfectly with the picture and the colours of the text were used right too. Overall this is a really great shot with really good editing.
Delete@natisha Well if you see the quote it is based around coke. not only this but if you remember the reason there playing basket ball is to work up a thirst So they can enjoy their cokes. Also the cokes was mentioned for half the chapter and was also a main focus for a part of the chapter. And you do have a point we could've done this but the composition would be off not only that but it would be hard to pull off. And then it would become just another plain basketball scene as well. And there would be no reason to have the cokes cause the would to small to notice and if we bring them closer we will lose the background for the basket ball scene.
Delete@katherine if you look very closely we wrote rebound Eric Walters on the coke cans and they were very tiny text and we changed the opacity so it almost looks like it's carved in. This was done so that there was no focus on rebound Eric Walters and mostly focus on the picture and text
Deleteyour photo was great, i liked how you only focus on the coke but not the players, that was very creative on you part, but this book is about sean, basketball player wanna be and David, x-basketball player, i dont think that any basketball seen is appropriate, because so far the story is based around basketball and David
DeleteI really like 6C because the 2 coke cans in the front are very colorful so the picture automatically attracted me to it then I looked at the Blurred Background the kids in the background playing basketball it just makes the complete picture look really appealing. Overall I think the picture looks great
ReplyDeleteWhich ones are the most powerful and vivid? Why do they resonate with you?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I would choose 4C! I think 4C was a very powerful, and vivid picture. The colours really blend in with the text and with the colours overall. The focus point on the bloody knuckles is really brilliant especially how the wheelchair is blurred on in the back! The picture is neither brught nor dull...just perfect! The text and the colours tie in with the picture very well.
I wouldnt say thispicture has a deep connection with me, but it resonates to me because when I look at a karge amount of pictures, this one strikes me! I just wanna keep starring at it, this shot just buys my attention! The quality and the meaning is just so specific. There is no larger message to be persued, as this is just a quite straight up from the book, but the point that connects me to this picture is the attraction level!
i was looking very closely at your photo and then i was wondering where was the author and tittle and then i saw that it was in the coke can, and i think you changed the opacity of it too, that was smart considering that people will now pay more attention to the picture and text
Delete1b was a good shot the only problem is that u cant really see the cigarette and that's what the text was saying. its was about smoking in the font of the school but u cant see the thing that they were trying to show.
ReplyDelete2a was a ok shot. the thing that turned the picture of was the text. the word OFFICE was not the greatest font to put it as. the door was already bright and then they added a text font that made it harder to read.
3a was a great shot they enfranchised the leaves and the blurred shot of Sean and David. the thing that i liked the most was that they used the pose that the title had. but the effect of the leaves where great.
4c was a nice shot the blurred the wheelchair but the hand was to much. its was to much of blood and the blood was to bright. they should have used less blood because i it takes away all the attention to the whole photo rather than the hand
5a was an amazing shot the hand on sean and in the background david tying to get up was good the only thing is the text. the text was to much. it was hard for me as a reader to understand what they were trying to say
5A,5C, 6C and 4C.
ReplyDeleteI think these were the best, most eye appealing and reasonable shots with proper text. They easily brought back the idea of which part it was from the book which itself made it very powerful and vivid. Especially 4C and 5C, they easily reminded the part from the book, even if these pictures didn't have text, they would still be understood. The other pictures were good as well but just need improvement here and there. These 4 shots were very realistic and the saturation and brightness really made these shots interesting.
