Prin5ng  Process  

•   Be  sure  work  is  being  done  in  CMYK,  if  you  already  know  which  printer  you  are  going  to  be  using  you  can  ask  them  what  color  seCng  they  prefer  or  suggest.  

•  Once  the  work  is  finished  you  will  need  to  save  a  hi-­‐res  PDF  

•  Take  the  pdf  to  the  printer  and  have  them  print  you  a  proof,  if  they  don’t  know  what  that  means,  tell  them  you  just  want  to  print  to  check  the  colors

Prin5ng  Process  cont’d  

•  You  will  most  likely  have  to  pay  for  the  proof,  but  it  should  be  done  on  cheaper  paper,  and  therefore  be  cheaper  

•  Be  sure  they  are  prin5ng  from  the  same  printer  the  final  image  will  be  printed  from  

•  Bring  the  comp  to  class.    •  Check  for  consistency  of  light,  shadow,  color,  etc.

Print  Process  

•  Correct  any  issues  that  are  seen  with  the  image  by  yourself,  the  class,  or  me.  

•  Print  a  new  proof,  check  for  inconsistencies  at  the  store.  If  you  are  happy,  Print  your  final.

Image  Manipula5on  

•  Possibly  the  best  known  aspect  of  digital  art  and  photoshop  is  the  ability  to  manipulate  “normal”  images  to  create  new  mind  blowing  images  

Page 7: Surrealism assignment computer art

•  IM  can  refer  to  anything  as  simple  as  fixing  an  old  photograph  or  crea5ng  a  whole  new  world  

Page 8: Surrealism assignment computer art

•  The  secret  to  great  IM  is  making  sure  that  your  images  are  consistent  in  light,  color,  value,  resolu5on,  grain,  etc.  

Page 9: Surrealism assignment computer art

•  The  best  way  to  get  consistency,  is  to  take  your  own  images.

Image  Manipula5on  

•  Piecing  images  together  in  the  best  possible  way,  will  take  a  lot  of  5me  and  work  to  make  them  look  correct.    

•  Trying  to  take  shortcuts  in  order  to  get  done  faster  never  helps  your  work.  

•  You  always  want  to  strive  for  a  realis5c  sense  of  light  and  space,  even  if  the  subject  is  as  far  from  real  as  you  can  get.

Assignment

Process  

•  Step1-­‐  Research  surrealist  ar5sts,  digital  and  tradi5onal.  Deviant  art  and  Tumblr  are  a  great  place  to  find  digital  surrealists.  Print  5  examples.  Look  at  the  various  ways  you  can  create  surrealism,  and  choose  one  category  (flight,  invisibility,  destruc5on,  etc)  for  yourself.  Using  that  category,  list  10  different  ideas  that  you  think  you’d  be  able  to  create.  Circle  the  three  ideas  you  like  the  best.  Discuss  with  Instructor

Process  

•  Step2-­‐  Draw  3-­‐5  thumbnails  of  your  ideas.      

•  Step3-­‐  Get  any  models  or  props  you  may  need.  Begin  shoo5ng,  be  sure  images  are  at  the  highest  possible  resolu5on    

•  Get  images  approved  before  moving  on  to  next  step.

Process  

•  Step3-­‐  Open  the  images  in  photoshop  and  check  for  inconsistencies  or  problems  in  the  image.  If  you  need  to  reshoot,  do  so  right  away.  Use  photoshop  to  manipulate  the  images  to  create  the  surrealist  idea  you  have.  You  may  use  adjustments  and  filters  as  well  if  it  enhances  your  theme.  Save  a  print  version  (PDF)  and  a  web  version.  Upload  the  web  version  to  blackboard  for  a  grade.  Print  a  color  comp.

Tips  -­‐Crea5ng  for  print  will  entail  using  a  different  color  mode-­‐  CMYK  -­‐Comps  (or  digital  draVs)  are  not  the  final  step,  they  are  the  rough  draV  before  the  final  step  -­‐Always  check  the  file  size  of  images  before  beginning  any  work  -­‐When  shoo5ng  for  surrealism  it’s  best  to  use  a  tripod,  and  shoot  the  landscape  without  any  props  or  people  first.  -­‐Always  clean  the  camera  lens  before  you  work.  -­‐Shoo5ng  the  various  images  on  the  same  day  in  the  same  light  will  save  you  a  lot  of  hassle  later.
