All Binary - Photoshop Contest [15 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

61.4%

Contest goal:

The binary numeral system is a system which uses only 2 numerical values: 0 and 1. It's mostly used in digital circuits, and is therefore used in current computer systems.

In this contest however, we're going to use the binary system in a different setting... We're going to use the binary system in objects that normally use the more practical decimal system (base 10). For examples: watches, TVs, oven timers, thermometers, speed counters, ... So, convert decimals numbers to their binary equivalent and create a creative, but more confusing object, which consists only of binary numbers. Make sure the original image is included, so the values can be compared, because different countries use different metrics.

To convert decimal to binary, you can use this binary conversion tool.
Don't forget: your binary representation has to be match the decimal values of your original object. (for example, if you use a clock, the '12' has to be replaced with '1100') Images with just 0s and 1s thrown on it will be disqualified.

Good luck!

nasirkhan: I mean "User". BTW. if anyone want offline number conversion , he can use windows default calculator and changing its view from standart to Sceintific. Then type number and click on Bin (binary) option

Feodora: But text doesn't need to be transformed into binaries? Because the contest title says all binary. ( 5 years and 3558 days ago )

nasirkhan: Feodora, description say: "So, convert decimals numbers to their binary equivalent and create a creative, but more confusing object", titile should be "Decimal to Binary"

Fantastic work...for me very soul-ish...very well done author...good luck

DanLundberg says:

Creative incorporation of two different items with numerals into a single image for a more complex entry. The perspective on the inkwell is way off, however. (We should be looking nearly straight down onto it.) I also think the watch should cast more shadow on the fingers. I personally would try to arrange the items/crop the image so that the amount of wood desktop (uninteresting background) showing is minimized.

iquraishi says:

I agree with Danlundberg, the wood desktop is kinda distracting.. the focus should be more on binary stuff.. Good Luck

Mike says:

i think it's a nice concept, maybe the hand is a bit dark, and for the mood you've created maybe the shadow of the hand is also a bit dark good luck

author says:

Thanks for the comments. I may try to crop some wood, but I need distance to make the well work, DL. If I stand at a table with such an arrangement, the well would be at about 18-20". I set up a similar scenario and the container was at about 45 degrees, which is what I shot for with the well. So I have to disagree about the perspective being way off-slightly...maybe. The shadow is an interesting point I should probably soften the hand-to paper shadow, as the watch shadow is fron the original photo. Thanks for the constructive criticism!
Edit: I cropped a bit of wood and softened the hand shadow. I had to move the quill to accomodate the changes. I also reopened in camera raw and warmed the jpeg to give the atmosphere a more candle lit feeling

EDIT AGAIN: Curse you DanLundberg! You were right. The inkwell is history
..and the composition is better too.
