my first digital art project

-



 Today we were creating Contact Sheet in Photoshop. Typically, a contact sheet was a positive print of the total negatives from a roll or film or a shot, end often each image the same size as the negative itself. The purpose of contact sheet is to be able to quickly scan a series of images to find the keepers or the ones chosen to be enlarged.  Before I used Photoshop to create contact sheet, I realized that unfortunately, I deleted all photos from my phone. It was quite difficult to ignore my stupidity and think how to restore my photos. Likely,I found them on my Cloud.

Our first project in sequential photography was to go outside and find interesting subject and take a photos. My learning partner was Michael and I enjoyed working with him as we have had similar ideas. We decided to stay focus on a person rather then a subject. After a few minutes walking around Art Factory, we found the wooden euro pallet laying on the pavement. Our idea was to tidy up the place and pick up the pallet, take several photo shoots. Later on I downloaded the app called Collage Maker, recommended by our Tutor. I created collage out of six the best photos, then Michael added text . The last step was to think about the title. We looked trough photos and our decision was easy, we called it "My OCD"(Obsessive compulsive Disorder) .  There is a young man on the photos, trying  to enjoy his time on the phone. Suddenly  he noticed a euro pallet lying on the pavement, out of nowhere. He could not stay focused on his phone anymore as his OSD did not let him to enjoy his break. He decided to put the pallet on the safe place and tidy up. After all, on the last picture , he is much more relaxed happy and enjoying time on his phone.

I tried to take a photos from the same position, to keep the background unchanged. Before that, we realised that the sky is beautiful and will be nice to capture it it the photos. I used Samsung mobile phone.

    Good that you have posted your contact sheet and final outcome for the group sequential images. Please make sure you add reflection on the work. What have you learned from this task? What went well and what could be improved?

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

 Finally I was bereave  enough to experiment with the Photoshop to create the tote bag for the school. I  started with the mock up picture which I found on the free mock up website, and I downloaded it on the laptop.  After transferring the picture to the Photoshop I used a clone tool to remove the design which was already there, however a few minutes after I have finished designing the bag I learned how to do it in completely different way. I knew I am doing something wrong as it took me to long .    I used the same free background logo which I created earlier in Procreate . I fit it to the tote bag size and I saved the picture in jpg, choosing "file" and " save as"  on the left top corner . I am happy with the results, the picture is sharp in a good quality.

 In my project I will draw illustrations to a short story for children, therefore this research will help me to find information and answer to the big question: " What's make the great children book illustration? "  There is many factors what I need to consider before I will start drawing: - the age group.  - type an style of illustrations suitable for this age group - the book style - how many illustration I will include in my page. - what to avoid in the illustrations for children To decide in what style I will draw the pictures is also very important. Is that will be more cartoony or scary or is the pictures are relevant to the story. For example soft and gentle illustrations would not be perfect for a story about monsters. Go to the library an look at the real children's book is a good place to find the inspirations.  Is important to decide how many illustrations will be included in the book and what type of illustrations they are. That will affect to overal layo...

project plan schedule

During the meeting with the Tutor ,we have discussed everything regarding to my project. I have introduced my ideas and my first sketches to the book. "The magic of the amulet" is a story written by my friend's daughter. There are three main characters - Abby the little girl who lives on the tropical Island with her friends: Olivia the dolphin and Patrick the crab. I already know how they will look like. I need to think how to draw the Island and mermaids. In my head it will be a magical and colorful,  fantasy World.  My first idea was to draw 4 pictures based on the story and to make front and back cover. The Tutor advice was to create two more pages as the story will be more interesting and easier to read for the children. We talk trough every page and I am convinced now that is good idea to draw two additional pages. I will use Procreate and Flipsnack and I will make a mock book  to be able to see how will my book look in real life. I was so excided with this idea , th...
