Extreme Contrast
Robin Rhode
Robin Rhode primarily works in the streets of Johannesburg, he uses walls and sidewalks as the stage for his exuberant, narrative interventions and performances. Captured in serial photographs and stop-motion videos, Rhode’s work explores urban youth culture, socioeconomic inequality, and outgrowths of post-Colonialism. By creating absurd,abstract and impossible situations, like drawing a bicycle on a wall and attempting to ride it, Rhode references slapstick comedy but also by expressing the struggle for equality and dignity with humor, and poeticism.
Horgito, as I've told you before, you need to put your artist research sections into your own words, otherwise you could get disqualified. Just explain what his work is like and how he produces it, what you like about it and how you will use his work to inspire yours. Do this every time.
My approach on Robin Rhode
In this task I had an inspiration from Robin Rhodes on to how he used still images to make a "story". I used chalk and help of a friend (Josh) to make him shoot a (fake) ball drawn on the pavement, scoring to a (fake) goal also drawn on the pavement.

Excellent idea for a shoot and execution of it! Well done! Now, think how you could expand this further. What other settings could you create?
WWW: I like how the photos turned out and I like how they ended up showing what I wanted to show. The only edits I did were some lighting and cropping.
EBI: I wanted to make this into a GIF, but I realised some images weren't positioned correctly so it would end up weird and I didn't like that.

Giuseppe Colarruso
Switzerland-born Italian artist Giuseppe Colarusso has a strange fetish for making everyday objects totally unusable. Each of the objects in Colarusso’s pictures are strange, and more than being useless, they would even cause you problems if applied in everyday life: from Egyptian hieroglyphs on a keyboard to a square rolling-pin, or an ordinary hammer with an electrical plug to a table tennis racket with a whole in the middle.

My approach on Giuseppe Colarruso
In this photoshoot I tried to implement Giuseppe's work as to take an object thats useless and try to make it look useful or the opposite. So what it did was make a plane from legos and make it look like its going through a airplane track (parking lot) all the way to flying.
WWW: I liked how the photos turned out, the editing wasn't that hard and so it turned out quite nicely.
EBI: I could have taken more photos of the plane in the run way and make it into a GIF.

Explain and/or show with Photoshop screenshots how you edited your images. This is the second time you said that you could have made a project into a GIF - why don't you do this for your next project - shoot with the intention of doing that and take care to place all of your objects in the correct place while steadying your camera.
