CD cover

This is my final CD cover, I still am not that confident with photoshop so basically used photoshop only as a something to join my pictures together in a logical fashion. This is my actual band the Common Wetland Birds most of the pictures have been taken during a practise. The photo on the back is adapted from my car, the pattern on the front came from a royalty free website and the picture of the bird on the back was adapted from a colouring in children’s book. I mainly adapted the opacity and colours of the pictures the main challenge was lining up the images together as a face.

 

Motion and Greenscreen

This week we experimented with green screen and motion. 

We inserted the video then deleted the background greenscreen using Primate RT in Keyring, we created a rectangle back ground for the video to appear on using the rectangle key, we cut out images, in this case circles to make the image look better and copied the circles using the options key. Finally using using oscillate in behaviors we made the middle circle move from side to side. 
Peace

Problems!

This week we used photoshop in order to create a small movie sequence based on the 'bouncing ball ', which i enjoyed however my internet seems to have upload problems so I will put it up here as soon as possible.

Rubbish letters assignment

RUBBISH LOVE

This was my first major assignment, and I enjoyed it a lot. My own personal view is that nothing is really rubbish; that we should endeavor to recycle everything we use. Hence for this assignment I aimed to create this work as natural as possible.

 I used a background of the grass outside my house and as I live on a farm took photos of all the things I thought would suit. These images that I ended up with ranged from wood to metal to plastic but all hopefully had the rustic look I was going for.  I originally made an entire alphabet by changed my mind as they did not blend too well together, I was highly influenced by some of the artists and messages displayed during the lectures and decided to create one of my own messages during the process of this assignment. I basically only used Photoshop to place all the images together and to copy and convert this image however I changed the opacity, lighted or darkened and changed colors of the letters so as to make the picture more visually appealing and to hopefully create the illusion that it was more ‘alive’.

 To the left is how I changed the brightness and the colors, and below is the ammount of layers that I ended up using.

 

These were some of my favorite letters but unfortunatly it did not fit with the last ones so I decided to use the bricks instead.  

This was my final piece, I like it a lot however I would love to learn how I can change one side of the wheel (or O) to be lighter however I'm sure I will eventually figure it out. =]  

 Peace and love

Week 3

Today we created 3D text by using Photoshop 5.
We used some tools like filters blurs and other things, we used Repousse to create the 3D text, for the mirror image we flipped the first and changed its opacity, and for the outside we made a vinessa (probably spelt wrong). 
This was a great learning experience for me as I have not had much experience with Photoshop and  it is great for me to go over the basics.
