graphic assignment

 today on photoshop we had to change yourself into a avatar i used the  cloning tool to add the background and changed the colour of the picture to blue with the replacement colour




liquify the image changed it from normal to funny and makes him look stranger.


before 



after- putting it into black and white the choosing a colour to add a little colour to the picture 

today i worked on photoshop, I picked a photo off google image and then made several layers of different effects such as levels, contrast, exposure, curves, shadows, channel mixture, match colour, colour balance and colour lookup.


It was my first time on photoshop but it was easy to understand how to have different effect.


Unboxed by Non Pratt

This novel is about five teenagers aged thirteen and they promised to return to the school where they had hidden a memory box five years later; after this years passed by there way only four people still left in the group as sadly something happen to their friend Millie which had stomach cancer, the remaining four nervously went to find the box, worried about what their thirteen year old selves might reveal about who they are now, but it brings back a memory when their friend Millie was still alive.
The stand-out character for me is Alix who has no problems with being gay, but is still nervous about revealing the fact to the other three. Well, actually, it's not three: it's four because Zara has brought her boyfriend, Ash, along with her - he has a car and they're going on somewhere later - and this elicits Dean's gloriously inappropriate comment as he looks at Ash: Millie's changed. That probably tells you most of what you need to know about Dean. At first you wonder how such diverse people could ever have melded into a group of friends, but as you see them interact there's a glimpse of the people they were and how the whole was more than the sum of the parts.
Non Pratt is brilliant at bringing teenagers off the page: there are no fancy devices or contrived scenes - they just are and it takes a lot of skill to do that. Pratt has a distinctive voice and it's one that teens recognize. It was obvious in Trouble and Remix and it's great to see it again in her debut book for Barrington Stoke. Why is the publisher important? Well, Barrington Stoke produces books which are dyslexia friendly and they'll also help reluctant readers.

a review from James Surowiecki-


"In the summer of 1976, Kermit Washington was in trouble. He was a power forward in the N.B.A., and had just finished his third season with the L.A. Lakers. He had been a highly touted player coming out of American University, where he averaged twenty points and twenty rebounds a game and was a second-team All-American. But with the Lakers his performance had been less than mediocre. The problem was that Washington didn’t know how to play basketball all that well. He had picked up the game late (in high school, he’d warmed the bench), and never learned the skills necessary to thrive as a big man in the N.B.A. In college, Washington’s size (he was six feet eight) and athleticism had allowed him to dominate other players, who were typically smaller and weaker. But in the pros, where most players were big and strong, Washington’s lack of skill caught up with him. By his third season, his playing time had diminished sharply, and he feared that his career was on the line."





Kate Moross is a designer, illustrator and art director based in London. She has been profiled in Grafik Magazine, dazed and confused, vice magazine and creative review, who selected her for a creative future award in 2007.


At the age twenty six she has achieved a prominent position in the world of designing. She is currently the art director of studio Moross. Her design follow certain pattern such as three sided shapes, illegible typography and she is fond of freeform lettering.
In this art work she uses different range of bight colours that are bold and put into bubble writing, some of the writing is in different font to make some stand out more to the audience, this work is about music artists that she knows are is a fan of, I chose to write about the piece of work is because it is very creative and I find it really interesting on how she uses so much font in bubble writing 

when she was at university she got asked by cadburys to make a
poster as they liked her work so she created this. This art work has two basic colours but they are bold and have a really creative font, I am a big fan of this piece of work as it looks like the actual cover of the bar. This is a very popular piece of work that people might seen before.


In her work she uses colourful writing and drawings, people like her work as it might relate to them in a way and they can be amazed by the way she creates the work that she does, she is a very busy person with the record deal that she created with her earning with her work. Kate always making time to put on her own solo shows and give some "sit-up-in-your-seat" quoted by her portfolio




On her portfolio is has a shop where you can buy her work that she has created this is so people can buy her work that they think that is amazing.




Kate Moross has worked on advertising campaigns for Cadbury, capsule collections for Top Shop, watches for Firetrap and illustrations for Vogue. Her distinctive graphic style plays with bold colours, three-sided shapes, puzzles, illegible typography and freeform lettering













This screenshot is a interview and the answers to the questions, it give brief information about who she is also it gives you what she thinks about herself, how long her career has been going and also how much it has changed since she has signed a record label.

" I am gay and i love colour" quoted by Kate Moross.

In this video she tells people background about her and what she does within her career, the programme she uses which is illustrator. She finds it quick and easy to use when she is created.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQFo5tB8Jys


 
quote said by Kate Moross: " it should blow your mind s little bit". 



use of colour: the use of colours within her work is light, bright, bold colours, the font within these art pieces are in bubble writing but in a different style so it makes it better to make changes to her work so it doesn't look the same and she used different bubble writing that follows the word that she writes in the font.




uses of imagery: the use of imagery is colourful and matches her personality which seeing her work it shows she is a very strong women that cares about what she does and shows passion within her work

The most successful art work is the Cadburys advert poster as it has a lot of views and it is everywhere when Cadbury is advertising the chocolate.





TASK 2



 This is my plan of the designs I've came up with to create a book mark and think of a design that will be good to become the finally one for this assignment.

 

my ideas for the assignment of a bookmark and came up with 3 draft ideas with different materials such as pen, ink and pencil . I have drawn these because the book is about a girl that dies and they make a time capsule to go back to the summer when she was alive and the grave is for the girl that died in this book



BEFORE FEEDBACK 














AFTER









Evaluation-

  • I made my book mark by using paper at first to do my drafts and made a choice on what design i wanted to use with my final piece, i chose to do the time capsule as it was a strong idea for me to use as a bookmark. I used illustrator as i knew how to use most of the tools, and I found it easy to use when creating my design on the computer however is didn't respond very well as it didn't load what i wanted to use maybe ill use photoshop next to as it might make my work stronger, I used the  galaxy as i thought it was applying to use as its a time capsule therefore there going back in time. Within my design i added a 3D effect to make it more effective, but when i put my text on the design you can't really see it properly. The tools i used where shape to to make my capsule and a 3D effect. Use of colour is the background is colourful and the text is black to stand out on the design.
