DDSGN 220 FINAL

PROJECT OUTLINE Benjamin Gamad

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

I would like to develop concept art using photography, 3D graphics, and Photoshop painting techniques. Concept art is used in a variety of media including backgrounds for videos games, art, music, and internet web sites. A few ideas mainly stem from fantasy to sci-fi settings that may incorporate photographs of cosplay models, painted/drawn characters, or rendered 3D models. However the actual focal point will be the landscape setting. Typography, color range and, atmospheric perspective depends on the setting chosen. I hope to convey a strong visual message regardless of the subject that excites people who look at the finished piece.

Goals

I’m interested in becoming a photographer that specializes in cosplay photography as well as photography that incorporates fantasy settings using unique backgrounds that I might design myself.

I would like to learn more about the programs that I have been using.

Create a website showcasing my work

Techniques: Will be using a combination of Matte painting, “photo bashing”, and compositing.

Creative Process Reflection

Being able to create an image using different types of medium has always been fascinating to me. I do not consider myself a painter, but techniques such as photo bashing and photo compositing have opened up a creative way to put things together. Coupled with digital painting, these techniques have given me more opportunities to express my imagination. Although I do not plan on becoming a professional illustrator, honing my creative process will eventually help think of ways to become a better photographer because I will be able to envision what and how to create surreal images. I want to create photos for customers that take them out of their reality and place them somewhere off worldly.
