A New and Improved Logo

You may have noticed something different on my photographs on Facebook since Saturday.
Yeah, there is a new logo on it's way! It is still a working progress but I was too excited to show it to everyone so tell me what you think about it.

This is part of a rebrand project that I am working on for my portfolio for the end of this year. I know my logo has changed a lot since 2010 but this is it. No more changing styles, no more changing identities, just no more confusion. Just FC Franco Creations.

Till Later! *F

Here is my new style and new extension logo for photography:

How to use a camera, sis!

Hi again. Here is one of my random shots I took when teaching my sister how to use a SLR camera. She is pretty good in photography, guess it runs in the family. Well, I showed her how shutter speed works and what Aperture does. She nailed it and took beautiful pictures! So here is something random, but loving it.

Urban/Nature follow-up

Experimenting with drawing objects and different mediums I mixed it up with placing it on my photographs and the results was kinda awesome. It was interesting to see how drawings can change into something else instead of it just sitting on the paper. New ideas can come up which can help a lot when designing something new. Try it, I recommend it!

My concept was a rhetorical question that asks the question if the nature in the picture you see is really true? We as humans place plants and nature in places it shouldn't be or we put it to make it look natural, but does it really?

Enjoy the final photographs!

Urban/Nature Photography

This was something new to me. I usually take pictures that I love and what I feel looks good, but for this project I had to challenge myself to start getting creative with composition. Anyway, I didn't understand what was expected of me but what I do know is that I could have taken photographs!!! :-D

So it's all about finding urbanized buildings or scenes that was inspired by or have some kind of relation to nature. Keeping in mind that this project would be integrated with the next drawing project we had to come up with some sort of statement that was communicated through the images. So here is my top 3 photographs that I chose for my final.

Till Later!
