Van Gogh in the Kitchen

Daily Create 1271

Do a creative edit in the spirit of Alexey Kondakov. Embed a famous painting in an everyday setting. Have fun!

HT @patlockley

Van Gogh has always been a favorite of mine. With the season – flowers in a vase on my kitchen table is just days away – so this was a way to bring the famous still life into my daily life.

After a session of working on a GIF for the Bovine County Fairy Tale Festival Artists in Residence. So it was a day of Photoshop!. I found a visual of the painting – used the magic wand and cut out the background and pasted it on the photo. To prep the photo I needed to cut out and use Content Aware as the fill to remove the real centerpiece on the table. I used the smudge tool to soften up the wood and copied and pasted some parts to fill in holes. I also SCALED and used Perspective to make the vase fit on the table.

Pretty much it – but it was a good exercise. The submissions by others are well thought out.

Now I want sunflowers on my table!!!

Bride Throwing Cat

@talkytina submitted this daily challenge and it was a hard one to resist.

Bride Throwing Cat

I went for the extra @talkytina points and clipped the #priosoner106 cat. Reminded me of #noir106 cat. Not too cute or fluffy – a mysterious black cat. But in a world where points don’t matter – sometimes it is nice to go the extra and take the challenge.

I used the supplied footage from the directions of TDC – thanks for setting it up in infiniteLooper to the exact spot!

Pulp-o-mizer DS106 Daily Create

If the Daily Create was a magazine…..

Pulp-O-Mizer_Cover_Image (2)

What would a pulp DS106 magazine look like?
Design it! Use any application you want but there is an easy online generator called Pulp-o-mizer.

Not much of a sci-fi or space aficionado, but did like playing with the Pulp-o-mizer app.

During the lull of facilitated ds106 courses and open course – well, being open course and all over the place – or no place at all, Daily creates are a way to keep creating and to spurn the seeds for larger creations.

The idea of a magazine cover as part of a story is interesting. The pulp-o-mizer has it a certain genre to it, but the examples of how typography, photos, background, multiple text areas of emphasis can play into design is helpful and something to practice for future creations.

Thanks to @RonaldL for sharing his passion for this app and how it can get those daily creative juices flowing.
