Assignment #27 Create an Collage

  …

A collage is a composition made by sticking together pieces of paper or photographs to form an artistic image.

In the book by Ethan Bodnar I just got (10/4/10), a freelance illustrator, who's name is Linzie Hunter had the following image:

Her website is [|http://www.linziehunter.co.uk]

Her work reminds me of the Old Navy ads. Perhaps she does them. There are themes to her work, and it's pretty interesting. Looks like something some of you would be great at, so let's try it!

So...pick a theme...like maybe Rock Music. Words or letters from those words would be in your piece. Find fun images, create your own fonts, download crazy ones ad to things you find to make them your own. If you look at the collage above, it actually has the alphabet in it. Pretty cool, huh?

Could this be done on paper? Sure, if you want to! Plenty of magazines on the shelves...newspapers in the library too. ; )

Can't think of a theme? Need more ideas? Here you go:

Pirates Clowns/Circus Shopping Shoes Purses Cowboys/Native Americans Farm Animals

= QUARTER 2... = =Assignment #15 Color & Blend Modes=

Color & Blend Modes

You are going to create three very different versions of a composite image.
 * 1) Find two interesting and colorful images online which you can overlap in your composite. Save them into your Chapter 4 folder. Open them in Photoshop. (Keep these original images in your Chapter 4 folder.)

One image will be my Flower layer and the other will be my Swirl layer. My results are below:
 * 1) Add one image onto the other in some way. Give a suitable name to each layer. Save the composite file as **Color Experiment.psd**. This will be your starting point for each of three versions.
 * 2) Save the file again as **Color Experiment 1.psd**.
 * 3) Apply an artistic filter to one of the layers (Filter > Artistic). You can try other filters instead. Filter > Distort has some cool ones.
 * 4) Apply a color adjustment to the other layer (Image > Adjustments). Try Hue/Saturation, Color Balance, or Variations.
 * 5) Select your top-most layer. In the layers palette, change the blend mode from Normal to something else. Try out a bunch until you find a neat combination.
 * 6) Save your file.
 * 7) Re-open Color Experiment.psd and save it as **Color Experiment 2.psd**. Repeat steps a - d above but with all different settings. You can change the order of the layers if you like. Save your file.
 * 8) Re-open Color Experiment.psd and save it as **Color Experiment 3.psd**. Repeat steps a - d above but with all different settings. You can change the order of the layers if you like. Save your file.
 * 9) Turn in your Chapter 4 folder containing all your Color Experiment .psd files plus your two original images.

The Flower layer on the bottom has the Plastic Wrap filter applied to it. The Swirl layer on top has had a hue increase and a Difference blend mode applied.

The Swirl layer on the bottom has the Cutout filter applied to it. The Flower layer on top has had a hue increase and a Lighten blend mode applied.

The Swirl layer on the bottom has been colorized to a monotone purple. The Flower layer on top has the Ocean Ripple filter and a Linear Light blend mode applied.

= = =Assignment #14 Content Aware Feature= Please watch the following video:

[]
Find a photograph with "flaws" (I have plenty if you don't have one.). Use the Content Aware feature in PS5 to "correct" the photo. Upload it to your page.

=Assignment 13: Displacement Maps= []

[] Choose something you wish to blend together as in this video...

Example: Chuck Norris + The EARTH

=Assignment 12:= Design with TYPE. (See example) For this assignment you will be using TYPE sort of as paint. Create or find a picture or design you would like to "fill". Then use words that coordinate (like a song or poem) as the "paint" in Photoshop. We used to do this as a "physical" cut and paste assignment, but that was when we didn't have enough computers for everyone to be working. As always...if you require assistance, please ask! df

=Assignment 11=

Here's a melting effect I found. In the video, he used a camera, but you can use anything.

From here on you will be required to watermark your work before you load it to your page. This is a good practice, as I want to protect your creative endeavors on the Web! df

=Assignment 9=


 * The purpose of this assignment was to introduce layer basics using Adobe Photoshop. Other attributes learned in this lesson included how to use image size, modes, resolutions, typefaces, transformations, and the color and pattern overlays. Students need to use each letter of their name as a separate layer. You also need to chose a color scheme such as primary, secondary, warm or cool. Images were also used to layer the design instead of color.**

 * <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">From the Bodnar design challenge book, I found a designer/illustrator with some interesting work. His name is Aaron Hogg, aka "Hogboy", who works for the New Zealand-based Co. Ministry of Aesthetics. He's done work for Adidas, RJ Reynolds, and DC Comics to name a few.

<span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Check out this poster he created of his "Dream Job":

<span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> If you look carefully it is all about Graphic Design...I think it might be <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> fun for you to design yourself in a poster such as this in your "Dream Job" <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> or if you choose as a student or in your current job. Think about the <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> things you hear from others, your feelings, or maybe include perceptions <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> of how things "should" be or what others impose upon you or will.

<span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Use the filters on a Photo Booth photo to add yourself in... <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> If you need more assistance please ask. Have fun with this one! <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> I think I should do it...my theme would be teacher and mother and include <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> me jumping through hoops held by various people...ha!

<span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Have some fun with this one! df || * ||

= = = = =Assignment 5:= Here's another fun assignment from "Caffeine for the Creative Mind" book I bought last summer:


 * The Love Bug Returns!**

Kinda interesting that the Volkswagen Bug has been around since the year my mom was born! (1934) It was then reintroduced in 1998 to an new generation of VW lovers.

You've probably familiar with "Herbie" the lovable car in the Disney movie? You've also probably seen some bugs "decked out" with custom paint jobs?

Well this assignment is all about that. You will be redesigning the exterior of your very own BUG! An outline of the car is available at www.wakeupmybrain.com/cftcm/exercises/bug.pdf

You can take a screenshot if you can't pull it into CS5, OR print and scan it in and save it here for all of us! : )

To help you come up with a "plan" for your design...think of a word to depict within the design: Pain Irreverance Confused Athletic Bored Giddy Mystical

Don't forget to save your final product as a jpg and load it to your page!

This assignment was inspired by Richard Wilde.

Assignment 4: Letters Clipping Mask: []

Repetition Poster Using our art supplies, make a poster that illustrates repetition. In Illustrator or Photoshop. Your choice! Guidelines
 * Assignment 3:**

Design it in landscape format: with the 12" edge going left-to-right and the 9" edge going top-to-bottom. You can use any of the available materials to complete your ad: markers, colored pencils, crayons, rulers, compasses, colored paper, scissors, glue. Write the word REPETITION in letters at least two inches high somewhere on your poster, so they can be read across the room. Check your spelling! The rest of your poster must be arranged like this: At least four identical items or shapes repeating in an orderly fashion; this is consistency. An additional item that is nearly identical but different in a distinctive way; this is unity with variety. Here are some ways to make this single item distinct: Make it significantly bigger or smaller, or Make it a very different color, or Flip or turn the item, or Put the item on its own, away from the other, orderly items. Make it colorful. Make it neatly. Take your time.

[] Okay...check this out. We had a lot of fun with this in Photoshop, so let's try it in Illustrator!
 * 2nd ASSIGNMENT CLIPPING MASK! Totally COOL!**

I usually open the tutorial in a window smaller and open Illustrator in another and work along with the tutorial.



Have fun! Mrs. F
