New Media

In this post, you will see three picture that I captured using my camera. These pictures were taken to be used on a new media platform, specifically a Twitter Post, Facebook Status, and a Website. The sports business I wanted to reflect and focus on is basketball.

This is a photo of my friend Lou hanging on the rim after a huge dunk. I really wanted to get a cool action shot and this is what I was able to get. I think this would work best on a website as a main panel image. Dunks are arguably the most exciting play in basketball so having this as a website main panel image could make the page look quite inviting and interesting. I think this black and white image paired with some bright vibrant writing could be truly eye-popping for viewers on a website.

This is another picture of Lou standing beneath the rim. I really liked this angle and how the Nike shirt really ties in to the basketball approach I took. I was able to mess around with depth of field, which can really make a picture substanially better. I think with the autumn coloring and the emblazioned word, Higher, on Lou's shirt, this picture looks pretty interesting and colorful. I would use this on Facebook, whether it be a post, status, or profile picture. I feel like someone scrolling down the home page would stop to check this out, especially fans of basketball. 

This last picture is of a pair of my shoes, which Lou happened to have been wearing when he dunked in that first picture. These are phenomenal basketball and running shoes known as Ziglites. I think this could draw people in simply because of the contrast between black and purple and the comparative tone between the shoes and the berries. I can see this picture on Twitter, with several hashtags like #Zig, #Reebok, #anklebreakers, and other various phrases. In fact, Victor Cruz of the New York Giants holds contents on Tuesdays to see who has the best shoes. These would work perfectly on that.
