In class our tutor divide us into small groups in order to do the work. With my team which is Jiwon, Georgia and me we had to create a mood board about a theme that we agreed in the group. Our theme was something about International.

This is the sheet that we received from Zoya. We decide that I will look at the last two points which are the animated effects and the photography styles.

Photography Styles
For that part I searched on Google photos in general that relates to the word ''International''. I found some interesting photos that can relate to this word.

The world map with the national flags.

Animated Effects

Small, simple animations are engaging and interesting.
Mixing up too many different moving effects, it can cause complete chaos.
Realism is what make animation trendy.

Themes research

THEMES

In the class we discuss about the themes. We gave some ideas and then everyone had to do some research to present it in the next lesson.

The ideas were:

Sensations
Ta - Da!
Tropical Flowers
Internationals
The ''B''s (Because we are groub B)
The Ants (Because ants work hard)
1990's (We all born in 90's)
A1/ 1 /A
Straight Outta 90's
Leicester City Arts Club
CMYK (subtractive colour model)

Afterwards in the next lesson we voted for our 3 favourites themes and almost everyone chose the theme ''Internationals'' as a favourite and so we chose that.

Fonts Research

TYPOGRAPHY - FONTS

Serif Fonts are the most common fonts that many websites uses.
SERIF, SANS SERIF AND SCRIPT.

1. Script Fonts are more calligraphic and typically appear with joined letters.

2. Serif Fonts are denoted by small ''feet'' at the bottom of the the individual characters.

3. Sans Serif Fonts lack the feet at the bottoms of the individual characters. Usually are more blocky in nature and tend to reproduce better at smaller font sizes.

Websites that use the Fonts

The New York Times has been using the Cheltenham since 2003.

The Vogue is using Savoy typeface. This is a typeface for brands focused on a stylish appearance that’s also easy on the eyes.

The Guardian website is using the guardian typeface. An excellent choice for newspapers or magazines, this typeface makes it comfortable for readers to consumer large chunks of information at a time.

Team Roles Research

FINAL SHOW

TEAM ROLES

For our Final Show that it will be held in June my class and I devided into a smaller groups. That means that each one of us will be responsible for two or three different roles. I will be in the team of Social Media and Artist Interviewer.

In SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM we are going to promote the Virtual Gallery through social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+ and etc. Also, we have to collect feedback from visitors.

In ARTIST INTERVIEWER TEAM 1) We have to interview the artists/designers about their work for the Virtual Gallery Space 2) Photograph the artists/designers 3) Feed the information back to the Digital Design team to incorporate into the Virtual Gallery.

BACKSIDE CD 3

CD COVER 3

BACK SIDE

1) I have doubled the image in order to create the mirror illusion, especially in the middle, because I like the pattern that is created in the middle. I decided to use that for the back of my CD cover because I think it will look good for a background of the tracklist.

DOUBLE EXPOSURE EDITING CD COVER 3

DOUBLE EXPOSURE EDITING

Contact Sheet with trees & leaves.

Contact Sheet with the model Irene Kafa.

I chose the DSC_0025.NEF photo from the trees and the IMG_3080.R2 from the portrait ones. I experimented with different photos but these two were the best choice for the double exposure experiment. I wanted to show the similarities between a human face and the pureness of nature so I have put the photo of the tree in the background and then I edited the photo with the human face so it looks like a silhouette. And then I used the branches of the tree as a pattern and I have put them on the face. I used the Brightness & Contrast tool to make the photo black & white so it would look more dramatic.

Here is the PROCESS:

1) First, I chose the two photos that I am going to use for the double exposure. Then I placed them in Photoshop in different pages and I started the editing. I selected the tree that I am going to use as a pattern and then I cropped the photo with the female face and on the same layer by clicking on the Vector mask option I created a silhouette form of the actual photo. Then I opened the Adjustment layer menu and I clicked on the 'Black white' option to make the photo look more dramatic.

2) Then in the same menu I chose the Levels option to put some more light in the photo. I selected the photo of the tree that I am going to use and copied it in a new layer. Then I moved the image of the silhouette that I created earlier in the layer where the photo of the tree is.

3) Then I clicked on the layer with the actual photo. I opened the flyout menu and I chose the Overlay option which helped me to make the photo blend underneath the tree photo. Then I moved a little bit the levels of the contrast and the brightness to give a dramatic look to my final piece.

FINAL PIECE :

Then I uploaded the photo to BeFunky software in order to do a collage. I chose the same photo and I doubled it. And I used the mirror technique to make the front of my CD cover.
