In Siggraph this year, scientists Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir present technology called "Seam Carving for content aware image resizing" , which translates to something like "resizing of images in terms context ". What makes this wonder? to adapt to different media images display without having to croped or scale, keeping the important elements of the image unchanged.

Low Carb Granola Recipe Diabetic



Another job for the Art Direction Workshop. That cost more than all, however simple it seems {to the whole class, not just me. And the prof Tejeda}.

The project consists of ... setting a table. Worry the "collection" of items to be on this, the table itself, lighting, draping cloth and available {}, location, floor work, composition and color gamut.

In the nebula {how there were several corrections, all unsuccessful}, I chose to do something woolly and cute, nothing more. Almost a facility. So I took the table and treated her like a piece of art like a painting, and put it on the wall.
This is the result.







Project in conjunction with Carolina Garcia.

Ps: it is difficult to stick the jump from 2D to 3D!
