Shape Task

Shape Task

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like the panda shapes because it is an obvious animal to shape around and looks good quality, even though it was an easy animal to shape around. With a panda, the shaping is obvious I probably would have been able to do the shapes myself instead of going over it. Although I feel as though my panda was a much more bigger success then the owl I did. The owl is good because it has all the face features and shapes and the background than an owls environment would live in. the owl features are better than the panda as pandas don’t have many features that are obvious so it was hard for me to add anything else to what I had already done.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would put more features into the owls face and put an body onto the panda. This is because it would look more detailed and higher skilled. I would have also added a background to the panda to make It look more realistic. I also think that the owl should have had more faded colours and more features around the eye area.

Rotoscope

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?The reason I choose to do this image for roto- scoping is because Barak Obama has many different features in his face and I figured that I could easily do a replica of his face with the different shapes and wrinkles etc. that was on his face. Also I fitted in a background in the back to make the image more obvious to the viewer that it is the president of the United States. As the president had a darker skin to work with I found this easier to match up the skin tone with his skin tone by using the colour overlay. The best areas that I think I did well in were around the eyes and around the mouth. This is because the lips look like they have a lot of features put into them i.e. the shade and colour of the lips and the lines around the mouth when he smiles are obvious to be wrinkles which are darker because of the shade in the wrinkle. Also the yes underneath have a slight bag so have been made to look dimmer. He also had wrinkles above his eyes on his eyelids because of age and I think hat they very realistic and extremely similar to Obamas real image. What would you improve if you did it again?I would have taken more time to add many more features into his face for example, more wrinkles around his eyes or the different colour to one side of his face as they other ide is slightly in the shade making it l0ook like a darker skin tone. I also would have added the small freckles that Obama has on his cheeks that are very faded in the real image.

Film Quotes

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like the way in which the exposure really make the cowboys stand out. Also how the text fits in with the background. I feel as though cowboys in a dessert surrounded by a lot of brown and heat brown would suit best for the text and it would fit well into the image. Lao I like how the cowboys have been taken as an image rom down below looking up towards them making them look bigger then the actually are, extremely exaggerated. I also like how there white shirts stand out from the rest of there body clothes. One last thing I like about this image is that everything is not clear and makes it look exaggerated, sturdy and exciting. Also intriguing to the viewer as f he they ant to see the face more clearer and the background. The features I like about the text is that there are big gaps between them and make them look easier to read as it isn't quite clear with the background fitting in so well with the text.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would improve the colour of the background and the cowboys make it less darker and showing more features off in the facial expressions. Also I would improve the exposure as I thing the image look extremely dark and has not got much light added into the image. One last thing that I would improve is the text size making it look bigger, by font size 18 instead f 14.

Text Based

Text Based

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?i like the different types of texts that I have created in Photoshop using different font sizes, colours and many other different effects. My favourite one is the second slide with the sunset background because I think that one looks the best and most effective. There was also the effect of having the letters further apart and closer between the gap of the words, which I really liked. When writing my name I like it to be bold and obvious so I like having a big stroke (stroke is the black line around the words to make it stand out more)- around the outside of my name which is shown n the first slide around the dark writing which I think is the most obvious type of writing that makes my name stand out.

What would you improve if you did it again?i would have done many different other styles if I had more time and I many different effects to give me more knowledge later on if I come to do any designer. Also my work in general. I would have done my name again in the second effect on the second slide as it is my favourite and would boost my grade doing something completely different. I also would have changed Marilyn's background to a more featured background the make the black and white effect look more effective.

Comic Book

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like that my images shows the features still show Kylie’s eyelashes. I also like that you can see the shape of her face by the darker shades contouring her jaw line and complimenting her cheek bones. I also like the fact that it shades the darker side of her lips in the shade expanding the size and exaggerating her lip size. In Marilyn's photo I like that her hair is white so the black and white affect makes I stand out. Also because she has very fair skin (light) most of the photo makes or her little features stand out more and the majority of the photo is white. As Marilyn has a very long face but slighting round is cheeks are sucked in slightly so the shade tones down darker to a grey and makes it stand out more. Underneath her hair there is a shade so this shade has been made black . On Marilyn's photo her jawline is even more exaggerated then Kylie’s. as Marilyn is older her eyelids are more in towards here head which has made a shade underneath her eyebrow which has been made black because of the black and white effect I put on. I also like that Kylie’s hair around d the edges has been exposed and you can see the individual hair which make the image more realistic.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would have done many more examples of much more different people to give a bigger variety of different images that you can change and see the difference. Also I think I would have swapped the effects around instead of Marilyn with the black and white effect kylie because I think it would look better and more effective to the viewer.

Photo Story

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like that my images all have the same person in it playing the same role and also that it only has one person in it. This means it is focused on her the most. I also like that it has text in it that makes it easier to explain the story as it isn't the most obvious to the viewer to look at and wonder what it leads to I also like that it is laid out in a snake sort of way so that the viewer has to follow the story. Finally, I also liked how the final image doesn't’t say what happens and finishes on a cliff hanger leaving the viewer to decide that person faith behind the doors making them think more about the photo-story allowing them o make up there own.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would have improve the image quality and taken more care when taking the photo making sure I got the best lighting. I also would have improved the detail within each image, exaggerating it more and taking the images in different parts of the college instead of the same place. I would have also done some photo shopping to each individual image like adding a black and white effect or putting the threshold onto the image. I would have added more post production if I had the time. I also feel as though I should have made the text orange instead of blue to fit in with the background. I wish I directed I better saying that the should have exaggerated the actions more as it is hard to figure out what the photo-story is about.

Illustration

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?My favourite image I drew on the two sheets of A3 pieces of paper is snoopy, the dog. This is because I feel as though I drew this the best and is clear that the image represents snoopy's image. It is hard to see but on my other piece of A3 paper I drew the word Love in a 3D shape. This is because it looks very effective and much more bolder to viewers. Also the other two shapes I drew were a dogs face which I thought was cute and very easy to draw s it was just made up of shapes. Also the final image I drew was a cross in 3D because it looks more effective , accept I had some trouble drawing it and didn’t go as planned on one of the 3D sides. I feel as though I did my best with snoopy because he looks extremely similar and is most clear to the viewer.

What would you improve if you did it again?I should have drew in a darker pencil to make the images more clear when we scanned them as they do not look clear on the paper. I would improve the cross or draw many more images to add in detail to the page making it look more full. I feel as though wasn’t that adventuress so I know for next time, when there is a similar task to this to add more detail and to challenge myself more.

Narrative Environment

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I liked that I could still add all the features into the mountain and have the colours still look decent and not to filled in. also I found by decreasing the capacity helps you get the features more clear and if you keep it and a middle capacity you can see some of the features through the colours. Also I liked that the blue sky behind the mountain is lighter closer to the mountain and gets gradually darker towards the top of the image. I also like the shading of the mountain behind the green near the bottom of the image.

What would you improve if you did it again?I think that I could have done a slightly lighter shade instead of pitch black behind the green mountain near the bottom of the image. I also think that I should have added in more features myself and included different colours. Like the small river running through the green near the bottom should have been a dark blue to make it clearer that it was a river and not shade as it blends in too much. Also I think the because it is in a V-Shaped valley that’s why I made it so dark because there was no light on the original image reaching the the river, making it look extremely dark. I also should have added more light spots onto the darker part of the mountain in the middle of the image.

Export Format

JPEG

Advantages: an advantage of using JPEG to export in that format is that it has a small file size, the fact that it doesn't ’t take up much storage space. Also that the compression algorithm is “glossy”, which means data is discarded when the file is compressed. Smaller size also means faster and more efficient backups. Most modern devices and software packages support JPEG images, making the format extremely compatible.

Disadvantages: the “lossy” compression algorithm means that you will lose some detail from your photographs. This loss of detail, especially in highly compresses files, will show up in images as “artifacts” and will be quite visible to the eye.

Deadline

Audience

My target audience are targeted towards 4+ because then they should be able to start learning to read at this age so will be able to figure out the story and understand it better. I would say that the gender it more suitable and appealing to females because it is based on a Princess story and most boys would rather read about adventures and more boyish stories. Whereas Cinderella is preferred for girls. The class I would say is suitable for is children into fairy tales. The location my story is set is in a palace and and an mansion. There is also a few more places where it is set, for example, on the road, in a garden and inside the mansion rooms. I also think that the audience I am targeting is drawn into the fact that it is a magical fairy-tale full of joy, kindness and adventure. This would influence parents to buy it for there children as it is suitable and is good for children to grow up with a good heart. Parents will think that it is great for children.

Production Methods

The methods I will use to produce my 12 pages are following the storyline which I have wrote out on my mind map to stick to the story line. Also this will guide me what to create and what I should use in Photoshop to make it. I will use the warping tool to make the shapes a good size. Also I will use the original ideas from Cinderella to adjust my ideas. I will also use the thresholdtool to make the background look more exaggerated. Also the colour tool to get the right colour for the clothing they wear and the buildings etc. I will use ideas from the internet to guide me about what kind of post production I can use and do to my images I will be creating. I will make the background look more realistic and photorealistic. Possibly take the photos for the background myself or use images from the internet by roto-scoping them or something lie that.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

It is quite obvious as to what you are hoping to achieve in regard to the topic; each slide is very informative, as shown by the fact that you have discussed the type of settings that will appear in the story, as well as the conventions of the ‘romance’ genre and the nature of the characters in detail. There is a clear understanding in regard to the pros and cons of the file format you intend to use. The fact that you have provided a clear summary for the events of the story shows that you are confident in what you hope to produce.

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

You have written down in good detail the steps you will be taking to illustrate your story, and the techniques and tools you will be using to help you.It seems that you have a clear idea of who your target audience is, and how you plan on selling this product to your audience.

I like how you’ve bullet-pointed the story to keep it structured, but more detail will be needed for me to now how exactly you’re going to be telling your story, mention the tone of your story, is their going to be any differences from the original story of Cinderella to yours?

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

It seems you’ve made it very apparent that you plan on borrowing themes and other elements from the adaptation of Cinderella from 2014.

Please scan your mind-map into the computer, since I find it really hard to read anything that is written down. Also try to include some more variety in your mood-board, try including more images from other interpretations of Cinderella other than only screenshots from the 2014 film.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

You gave a good detailed explanation on the target audience of the children’s book that was well justified.

You included a variety of methods in which you could use and gave reasons why you would potentially use each method.

Detailed advantages and disadvantages given for the file format chosen to work with.

There could be some more detail on the story-line; the bullet point format is good however the description given for each one isn’t very detailed.

You could give a specific size for the book; for example (“10x12”).

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

You have included a variety of pictures for some of the characters showing what they may look like.

Your mind map is well thought out and consider various ideas and options that cover all of the specific topics in the book.

You could do with showing some more images on your mood board of other characters and objects and not just of Cinderella.

You may want to experiment and research different images of different styles including those of cartoon.

Feedback SummarySum up your feedback.I feel as though I got a lot of useful feedback. I also feel as though there is a lot to change and to improve so I can work on that before giving my work in and improve it. I feel as though a lot of people thought my storyline was well detailed and was planned out successfully and shows that I am rearing to get on with it and planned ahead already.

Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?

I agree that my storyline is well detailed and planned. I also agree that my story line is very similar to the original story of Cinderella and maybe I should alter my story slightly to make it a little different to the original. I also find that my mind ma needs to be more clear so I agree that I need to scan and then put it on the computer to make it look more clear. I should also put some more variety of photos onto my mood board as it is all the same and from the original film, so I should do different varieties and also images from the internet not just the film or the original stories from Cinderella. I also feel as though I did put a lot of detail into the file format part of JPEG, the disadvantages and advantages and showed good knowledge.

Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?

I disagree that my storyline is detailed enough as it only menat to be rough copy and also has enough detail in it anyway because you don’t need to write a lot just they out-line. I also agree that I should add more images and variation onto my mood board as there isn’t a big variety and needs more images from the internet and online istead of straight from the film or the original stories.
