Digitial Imaging : Final Project

Digital imaging:

In this post i will be showing different types of images that I think that look good and how the picture has been used digitally and created, these images will be edited from start and the colour and effects that have been added into them. I will be explaining why I like these images.


I like this First image because of the way it is designed,
the colour's and effects within the image.
Stratzeh has used the pen tool over the Stratz
text to get that purple line effect. The colour's he has used with this image is that he's gone with a green, yellow, brown and blue. The gradient to split the brown and the blue with the green in the middle.


In this second image I like how he's mixed the colours together with the beige and the purple/ brown on the outside of the triangle, he's copied the triangle and make them 2 separate layers so he can overlay them on top of each other. He's darkened out the edge of this image to lighten up and brighten up the colours in the center. This image is very creative and I like how to colour's match.

In this image he has made the sunset in the center of
the image and with the light lighting up the flower's and the colour shade coming from behind the tree's on the left side. The sunset brings out the flowers more and makes the shading and the positioning more creative.                                                                                                                                                      







In this 4th image he has used the tree's to split off the water and the sky, i like how the colour is added into this image when it splits off. I like how the biggest tree's are placed in the center and gradually get smaller along the big tree's and then bigger at the edges.
 

Strength's & Weaknesses

My challenge is Digital Imaging.

I would like to explore different types of Digital Imaging.

I have chosen this because i would like to learn more about Digital Imaging, mainly with photoshop.

Strength's & Weaknesses

Strength's: Creative Mind, Good Imagination, Steady Hands, Basic Knowledge

Weaknesses: Easily distracted, Never know what to add to an image, usually try out new things and see how things look,

Planning needed for my Arts Challenge:

The planning the stages for my digital images will be to find suitable images to put into photoshop and apply a series of digital effects to so as to create something new.

Good places to find images from that I could use are:
http://www.deviantart.com/

https://www.google.co.uk/


Next, I need to find other images online that have had effects applied like the ones I am wanting to do for my own challenge.

                                           

I will be getting similar images to this one and adding my own effects to it using Adobe Photoshop, i will be getting different types but similar to this one and adding effects to each individual one.

The next stage would be to find information on changing a background and adding effects to that background in PhotoShop.

Places for online tutorials could be:

http://www.photoshoptutorials.ws/

http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/features/illustration/50-best-photoshop-tutorials/

http://www.photoshoplady.com/photoshop-tutorial/category/photo-effect/

Then I will need to follow the instructions on some of these tutorials and apply the changes to my choice of images to make it work, adding colour, flares etc.

 After looking at the finished work we have to share it with others through putting it up on my blog and getting comments from other people in the class.

Then I can read through these comments, and review and evaluate the work I have produced for the challenge and say what went well and what could have been improved..

Unit 1 Part A

What i think my strengths and weaknesses are:

Strengths in Media, i think my main strength is media is digital Imaging, i do a lot of digital imaging at home and i do that the most. I think that Digital imaging is the most enjoyable thing to do and the easiest.                                                                                                             

I think my main weakness is Animation because i dont enjoy doing it, i think some parts of it is a bit complicated like doing the storyboards, especially when you work in groups.

Challenging:

I want to challenge myself to create a complicated background through using Adobe PhotoShop. I will do this, by making the layout, colour's, shapes and a lot more. I want to use tools that i havent used before and get a better knowledge of digital imaging.
