Solving your Conceptual Design Problem with Photography

This task was very difficult to try and find ideas for ley alone actual create a piece in photoshop for but the ideas that were thought up were to capture a photo of the moon and turn it into cheese, take a picture of a spaceship and place it into a bottle or to follow the task example and place an apple into a wine glass.

The problem with the first idea was the problem of actually taking a photo of the moon not possible with the tools on hand as for idea number 3 there was no access to any kinds of fruit so it had to be idea number 2 which didn’t really seem conceptual but it was created anyway to show how hard it is to solve my conceptual design problem with photography thanks to my subject area.

To create the ship in a bottle three images where taken one of the bottle, one of the ship, and one of the tweezers now they where not taken with a green screen type background so they had to be manually cut-out by hand and then using the original bottle image as a background a masked bottle image was used to keep the glass see-through so you could see the tweezers and the spaceship inside the bottle.

The simplicity of a ship in a bottle shows how little the ship is in the vastness of the bottle that represents space itself in this example and this shows how little we know about space and this comes from the old ship in a bottle example which was the same but instead all about the sea and how big it is.
