Visualization Exercise #1: Sizes



So today was our first visualization project.  For this one we had to have the same image printed in six different sizes.  The sizes were 2*3, 4*6, 7*9, 9*13, 11*14, and 16*20.  I went into this one thinking I would really like seeing the larger versions of my print, however I think I took the sizes too literally in that I allowed my pictures to end up skewed.  When editing the photos in photoshop, I noticed that when I changed one dimension to the prompt, the other would not match, so I unchecked the "constrain proportions" option.  Looking back, I would have rather changed the largest size but have it constrain the proportions so the photo did not turn out skewed.  I really did enjoy seeing how the mood of the picture changes when the overall size changes though.  I really like the look of the photo I used large, but since I am rethinking my thesis, I am thinking I will have to do this exercise again with whatever my new thesis is.  
Still bummed that my bands are no longer my thesis :(
Oh well, till next time....
