Shape Task

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?One thing that I liked about my image was that there are a lot of important features which you can easily add which means the animal is easily identifiable as a elephant which helps young children understand. Another thing I like about this image is that it is very simple and has simple features but still still looks good.

What would you improve if you did it again? One thing I would improve if I did it again would be to focus on certain parts of the animal such as the legs and so the legs look more correct and not distort or oddly shaped.

Rotoscope

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?One thing that I liked about this image was the simple features that the face has and how the simplicity portrays the full facial features. For creating these simple features , I only took parts of the main features to give the impression that it was there and I didn’t have to have the full thing on the Rotoscope. An example of this is the nose where I only drew the outlines to give the impression of it and not the full thing.

What would you improve if you did it again?One thing that I would improve if I did it again would be the skin. The skin colour that I choose was maybe abit pale for the person who I was Rotoscoping and it therefore may not have looked correct. Another thing that I would improve if I did it again is to focus on the Jersey. I would focus on this because there were a lot of creases and shadows in the jersey and I tried to replicate some but not all which made the jersey look abit odd.

Rotoscope

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I like Rotoscoping because it allows me to make a photo of someone look very cartoony and unreal. For Rotoscoping , you just put the main facial features and assets which means the person or item you are Rotoscoping is easily identifiable as them. An example of this is the moustache which Ron burgundy has which allows him to be very recognizable. I made these features by cutting out the a outline of the real moustache and placing onto a cartoon face and then I overlaid it with a brown colour.

What would you improve if you did it again?One thing that I would improve if I did it again is to focus on the details around the eyes and in some other areas. Although these small details aren't necessary to the whole image , they can help a lot to improve the look of images in areas.

Text Based

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?One thing that I liked about Text based is the amount of range and styles you can get by using different tools and features. For example , spacing text apart , making it closer together etc.. One technique which I particularly liked was picture clipping. This involved taking a picture and putting it into the text. This technique can drastically improve the look of the text and anything around it. Due to the diversity of this technique , it can be used in or on almost anything and is very simple to do.

What would you improve if you did it again?One that I would improve if I did it again would be to explore the colour gradients more. This feature I used but not to its full extent and I think I could of got a lot more out of this feature. Another thing I would do if I did it again would be for the picture clipping is to choose a more suitable image. I would do this because due to the nature of the technique , you have to stretch some images and then they look distort and wrong.

Comic Book

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I used the cut-out filter from the filter gallery in Photoshop which allowed me to make my images look very cartoony. I also liked that I could change and vary my images so that I could distinguish my images apart by changing the settings. To distinguish my images apart I used the threshold tool and blending options to make the image look different and to change them about. I used the blending options to lighten or darken the image which creates shadows in places which gives a good effect. The threshold tool also means that I am able to create shadows in areas of the image. For the three images that I did , I changed my effects for each one so that the image would look different.

What would you improve if you did it again?One thing that I would improve if I did it again would be to utilise the blending options more so I could give my images a more distinct look. Another thing that I would do if I did it again would also be also to maybe use a high threshold. This , depending on the image could have created a very good effect which I might have missed. Something else that I would improve if I did it again is image choice. I could of chosen

Illustration

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?One thing that I liked about my image was that I could easily add and take away parts and detail from my image which allowed me to adapt my image into anyway I wanted it to. Another thing that I liked about my image is that it allowed me to draw a range of things which broadens its use quite significant because almost anyone could use this style.

What would you improve if you did it again?One thing I would do if I did it again is to focus on some aspects of the detail more. Having lots of detail in a illustration improves the overall look of it. Another thing that I could of done to improve it is to add colour. Colours can improve the look of the image but in certain cases they can also make the illustration look wrong. I chose not to put colour on for this reason.
