Shape Task

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I liked the simplicity of it. And the fact that it was relatively easy to create with the Photoshop software and looks more or less as it’s supposed to. I like the fact that whilst the design is very rounded and curvy, only core basic shapes were used. I used shape merging which is combining multiple layers of shapes together into one layer so they wouldn’t separate and ruin the image. I also used the line tool to add in extra detail such as creases in the skin. I also used the outline tool to give my animal a defining edge around it. Although my image seems jagged, I have used the warp tool to round and bend some of the image.What would you improve if you did it again?I’d like to improve the amount of detail in my animal. As only the basic features have been added to it such as using the colour range tool to add in the fur and fuzziness on the animal. I would like to do this to give the cartoon a slight more realistic look about it. I would also like to clean it up a bit, making sure the image is smooth, sharp and rounded.

What did you like about your image?I used the colour range

What would you improve if you did it again?I would like to add in a lot more detail and more of my own effects as it doesn’t look much different to the original image.

Text Based

Text Based

Evaluation

What did you like about your images?I liked being able to manipulate text because Photoshop gives you much more freedom to create unlike the likes of Microsoft Word. I liked being able to add a background to the text and personalize it with a picture of your choice. I also liked being able to freely warp and bend text to create shapes with it. I liked putting the “stroke” borders around my text to give it a defining edge.What would you improve if you did it again?I would like to improve my picture on the text so it is more clear as to what the picture is. I would also like to improve the appearance of the bottom text on my first page, adding a different gradient and style to my text for a nicer, neater look.

Comic Book

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I liked how I succeeded in making it simulate a comic book illustration. I liked the detail of the shadows and highlights in my image. I also liked the grain in my image to make it seem old. I also liked how I have used highlights to shine on his face to make it distinguished.What would you improve if you did it again?I would like to give my image some colour as comic books are usually in colour to convey emotion into the image. I also would like to draw with a brush tool around the edge of the face to separate Quentin’s face with the background of the image. I would also improve on the overall look of the image as it looks more like a painting than a sketch/drawing.
