This first image is a vibrant close up of leaves. there are three Doritos hiding amongst them. The red and orange leaves also contrast with the blue sky.
This picture shows the Doritos on a perspective of the inside of the tree, which shows much more sky. Thee long sloping branch makes the viewer use their depth perception, and think about the scale.
This picture is of a bare tree being covered by a few of the chip leaves. I used less of the folded chips and more intact ones to look more like crisp leaves. The background has much less nature than the others: the top a a building and a treetop behind it.
The image features both Dorito leaves, and the few last real leaves clinging to the tree. There is a faint glow to the overall image and the background is bisected, half a tree and half a black wall.
The scene pictured: simply candy in the grass was initially not as strong of an image, but after the grass was put into black and white, the candy was no longer overwhelmed and could stand out. The candy looks highlighted in a sea of black and white static, and almost looks like a plant.
This next image is of leaves with a few chips being hidden on the edge of the tree. The leaves as a whole are framed to be out of context to the tree. They contrast with the dark green tree behind it, leaving very little sky to be seen.
In this image we painted an egg, and put eyes on it, to make the shell stand out more when it was stabbed with the fork. I colored everything except for the inside of the egg to make the shell stand out more.
This is one of my stronger pictures in terms of lighting and texture. it is a spinach leaf surrounded by taffy. There are large shadows created by a strong light from the right side, and is on a coarse background.
This image is of Starburst candy being cut to represent a type of meat or spam. The picture is slightly edited, and the candy is brushed with water to appear more glistening. The background of the wrapped candy, ready to be cut, and the curling of the one being cut turned out well.
This picture, of an Otamatone being stuffed and surrounded by candy, gives a feeling of gluttony and overwhelmment. The shadows work to make this picture more interesting, with a strong light coming from one side.
This picture is meant to be more gloomy and pessimistic, with a green lighting and medicine in the top of the frame. Instead of pills in the bottle, I replaced it with bright and colorful candy. I had the bottle upside down to cause the candy to be bouncing and spreading along the picture.
This image is of an outlet with candy stuck and resting on it. It has been edited and darkened to bring out the concrete background and the scuffs on the outlet cover. The bright candy contrasts with the darkness surrounding it.
This picture is black and white, but the candy and the knife is colored. Through the coloring, you can see the true brown and pink color of the knife's reflection along with the pink of the Starburst. The candy is also colored in the center to give a raw meat look
This was an attempt to paint and give an egg an almost alien look. The texture of the brush strokes worked well, and the eyes served to give the egg a little more irregular of a shape than its original perfect oval.
The last picture captures just a few pieces of candy over a drain between a pile of rocks. The withering leaves and pieces of what looks like trash give off a somewhat unpleasant appearance, yet you can see a general downward curve through the hundreds of rocks.
