Presentation On Art Chantry

Experiment 3

First I drew some images of paisley patterns.

I then scanned them, and placed them into photoshop. I made the images threshold so that they were black and white (two colours). This screenshot shows me copying part of the pattern which I then used in the next stage.

This is the final placement of my design. I cropped out the drawn designs I wanted to include and placed them into my design to fit together.

As I had edited the designs to be threshold, it made it easier to change the background into pink and the patterns into white.

I then experimented with the colours and decided to include a gradient from white to blue in the pattern.

Experiment 2

This is the original photograph I took for my graphics project, applying the makeup I wanted to fit the theme and to help me later on in the project.

I edited the photograph on photoshop. I kept the colour of her eyes and lips the same, and made the rest of the photo black and white, with no background.

To fit it into the CD cover design, I added a rose which I had already drawn and edited to create a full repeated pattern for the background.

I deleted the waste part of the background by making the the image transparent so that I could see the guideline and know where and what waste needed to be erased.

I then made the opacity 100% and adjusted the placement of the image to complete the experiment.

Experiment 1

I simply drew and coloured a female with a style and image I wanted to give my artist.

I then edited this in photoshop to bring an element of the 'funfair' theme. To do this i made my artist into a cartoon figure and added balloons and cotton candy which are structured with slightly opaque circles.

I then added the image to a CD template and edited it to fit the size, shape and colour scheme of the cover.

Analysed Contact sheet 3

I wanted to include a photo of the artist (Ava Raquel) so I used a friend to model for me. I did her makeup how I wanted it to look and the photographs turned out exactly how I wanted them. Some I eliminated as they weren't to the standard I wanted. After I had experimented with all the photographs, I  had picked one I thought was perfect for the CD cover and the theme. The other photographs at the bottom of the contact sheet were for me to experiment with, especially with the vibrant colours. But the edited versions didn't turn out how I imagined.

Analysed Contact Sheet 2

I had taken these photographs to edit and experiment with and see what I could create. I eliminate the ones I didn't believe were the best of quality to experiment with. I didn't like the designs I had created so I didn't take them further or include them within my final piece.

Analysed Contact Sheet 1

I have crossed out the images I definately don't want to use. I later experimented with the remaining photographs, but only decided to use one of them, which I edited and used within my final piece.
