Carosel - Graphics

  1. Document what you did in the session on Tuesday and Wednesday (Pictures, Diary entries, Printouts ETC) 
Throughout the two days of doing graphics, we did two different things, but we kinda had a idea of what we was getting ourselves into, as graphics relates to photography. we had to take photos with our cameras for the first day & also learn about & how to create Typography, which is the first time in which i had learnt about this process. for the second day we had continued, what we was doing in the previous day, but by expanding our knowledge & the task in which was set by digitally creating the typography in which we drew up, digitally by learning how to use a scanner & scan in stuff & to also recreate the typography which we drew up on adobe Illustrator once we scanned it in. we also learnt about composition & also the "design cycle process".

Materials - as we did graphics we had to use 3 different types of materials, for the lessons. on Tuesday we had to use camera, to capture photos in which we needed to get for the task in which we was doing, & also pencil & paper to create typography, as that was the main part of our first day of graphics. on Wednesday, we were using computers & scanners as we were using different programs to continue what we was doing yesterday.

Skills/methods - throughout the two days of doing graphics, i have learnt quite a few skills especially in the second day when we was using different programs, as we used illustrator, indesign, & photoshop. it was the first time i had used illustrator during the lesson, & the first time since last year i had used photoshop & indesign, but it was the most i had used them  programs. in my opinion, my skills with them have not improved as i struggled to use them. i found them too complicated.

 Evidence

unit 6 - 3D Digital - final images

This is my experimental attempt at creating a 3D digital image for my 3D projects. This task is the second part of my 3D project; again which co-insides with all the research in which we had done before for/along side our research for our Analogue 3D project. For my research this part, i researched at different types of Digital 3D Photography, this was so i could use as inspiration or try to copy/re-do in some sort of fashion. You can see examples of the ones i researched below. As you can see to my left, i decided to attempt in making a portrait in which my mate Alex took of me for his High Key photoshoot, as we was both doing our high key photoshoots back to back. I used this photo as i like the photo, and a very prominant photo of me, the concept behind making the photo 3D was to expand the view of portraiture itself, and to expand the view of reality; in other words, what i mean is, is that theres more to portraiture, and photography in general than meets the eye. For ...

Kaleidoscope

For this lesson i was set a task of creating a a kaleidoscope image using a DNG file (or the option of using a RAW file is also there) in photoshop. for those that do not know, a Kaleidoscope image is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces, which are tilted to each other in an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of the mirrors, that being the image which is used, are seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to the repeated reflection. it is also dubbed as the kaleidoscope effect. This is the first time i had ever tried to create this process with a photo, plus during the lesson i also learnt what kaleidoscope is and what its definition, and its other known variations, especially as for years before i kept hearing the term kaleidoscope, and i had no idea what it was. For the process of creating the kaleidoscope image, i struggled may times, and did a few slip ups, as the image would not flip the way i want...

Carosel - Art & Design - 19/9/17

For this weeks carosel we got a chance to do some art & design. We did this again over two days & it tested our ability to not exactly draw but to mostly listen to instructions i feel whereas the second part of tuesday's lesson & First part of wednesdays lesson, it gave us a chance to try some printing/press printing, which reminded me of when i did Resistant materials in secondary school in a way, but that could be because of the machine we used to do the prints & also to improve our "structure making skills" which was first part of wednesdays lesson.  List under the following headings: Research & skills - The research & skills we carried out, & learnt, during this weeks carosel, i feel, was how to follow instructions to create tiny bits of art (we did part of this by drawing to music), How to print/print press & how to Create mini structures out of our drawings from the lesson from tuesday. The skills part being i feel how to use th...
