Assignment 3: Humans of UTSA

If you had one wish, what would it be?

I wish that I would get the scholarship I applied for.  It's for a pre-med study abroad program in Spain!

What is the happiest moment of your life?

I would have to say this past weekend.  I went to ACL.  The last day was cancelled due to the rain, but I still got to see my favorite band perform a free show in the parking lot of a homeless shelter.  It was awesome.

What has been your greatest achievement?

Getting my degree in architecture.  It was such a great experience working on all sorts of projects, especially when working with a team. 

What would your super power of choice be?

My super power would be osmosis.  I'd love to be able to touch a book and learn everything in it.

What is an accomplishment your most proud of?

I helped start a quidditch team here at school.  I love that it gives me a way to express my nerdy geeky side in an athletic way. 

Color Critique

Overall Adria's photos show a strong awareness of compositional strategies.  Each photo exhibits a strong sense of color recognition.  The color pop in each is very unique.  The first photo is flooded with color.  The vivid gummy letters create a multitude of color changes because of their transparency.  Your eye travels fluidly throughout the photo.  Adria's fourth photo shows a great interaction of converging lines.  The longer you look at the photo, the more apparent all the varying shades of orange come into view.  The lightbulb adds yet another pop of color to the composition.  Both the orange background and the illuminating lightbulb balance each other out quite nicely.
