Shape Task

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I liked the main outline and shape of the image and thought I had adjusted the different parts to fit the overall body well so they were all in the correct proportion. I also like how the different colours give a more natural and realistic feel to the image.

What would you improve if you did it again?I think I could improve on the image by adding a background to it in order to make the animal stand out more and make the image look more interesting. Another way I could achieve this would have be to add an overall shadow to the animal to give some depth and would have also made it stand out more.

Rotoscope

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like that this time I have added in a background but not just made it a block colour but added in some extras to make it look more realistic and also the detailing on the face.

What would you improve if you did it again?I think I could improve on the face more to make it look more realistic by adding in texture on the face and focussing more on the mouth to get more detail there too. I would also improve on the colours and add some gradients instead of each parts being a block colour.

Text Based

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like the fact that none of the images are the same and that I have used a different technique on all of them to see what looks good and what I need to work on and change to achieve an image that shows its full potential. I like how I have incorporated a picture into the text to add diversity into my images and how I have outlined each letter in some of the texts to highlight each part of the words and how I have adjusted the shapes or the texts to make them interesting to look at but have still kept all the images legible. By not just using my name and experimenting with a quote is also something that adds diversity and how I have tried using different shadows and textures in the writing are also things I like about that image.

What would you improve if you did it again?Things I would improve on, on my images would be by making them more different in terms of not only the technique used but also the colours instead of just a plain black. I also think I need to improve the image with the camera in the background as it is hard to tell what it is due to the spacing of the text. Next time I will add some depth to the text by applying shadows to the words to make them bolder and so they’ll stand out more. I would also like to improve on my images by adding more texts with a picture incorporated into them and try different words, pictures, colour and techniques of how to make them stand out more.

Text Based Improved

I have made improvements to the text based images and have now been able to develop more complex ones which have images in the background but also are now able to tell what the images are. Because the one with the union jack in was still hard to see, I made the letters have an outline to make it more readable.

Comic Book

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?In these images I like how they are all similar as they are all in black and white however very different as not only are they 3 different pictures but also that they have all had different filters added to them. I also like how you can still tell they are people and I have chosen the correct features such as ‘Threshold’ to balance out the image so that it is not too dark or too light and you can still make out each individual person and also some of the detail in the image such as the brick wall.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would improve the colours of the images because even though they are all black and white which shows consistency, I think adding different colours to the images would provide variety amongst them and make each images its own but also visually stimulating to look at. I would also change the detail within the images and so if there were some parts of the image which didn’t stand out I could use techniques I know such as rotoscoping to improve them and make the details finer and stand out.

Photography - Emotions

Happy Lonely

Sad Excited

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?What I like about these images is that they are all very different in terms of how the emotion is presented. I like how for loneliness it is an object and not a person to allow variety in my images and also how in one of the images there is more than just one person.

What would you improve if you did it again?Next time I would improve my images by exploring different ways of capturing emotions and have a few of the images less posed and more natural and also try and incorporate more objects into the images instead of people to make them more diverse. I would also make sure that every image was taken in a different place as two of them, the emotions sad and excited were in the same place.

Illustration

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?What I like about this image is how I have made the swing and the tree look 3D and adding depth to them by shading with a darker pencil. I also like how I have blended the colours in the tree together to get a mix of brown and green.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would improve this image by making it have more colours in to be brighter and more eye catching. I would also make the scene bigger as there is not much going on and is not much of a scene and so next time I would expand it and add some depth to it.
