Practical Skills & Presentation

Proximity & Hierarchy:

To create this, I used Adobe Illustrator. I wanted to make the word 'reflection' different colours and be repeated like it is being reflected multiple times. I also got a random quote online about reflection and I put it on opposite sides. I planned to put bright colours into this poster. To create this, I put a square to cover the canvas then I changed the colour to a bright pink. Then I added the words and made them into different bright colours to make it pop.

Proportion & Balance:

To create this image I got a photo from Google Images and I made sure it had a tall building in the photo. I imported a cat to Photoshop and made it an asymmetrical balance. I also played around with the proportions and made the cat bigger than it usually is to indicate that the cat is powerful. I'll be definitely using

Leaflet Practice:

To create this leaflet, I used the software Adobe InDesign. I imported a custom page size to make this leaflet and reduced the margins. Then I added six pages for the front cover, back cover inside flap and inside spread. I imported images from Pinterest and fit them into proportion for the front and back cover. Then I made the other pages a similar colour to the photos so they don't look blended. Furthermore, I added text for the title of my leaflet and made it a red colour to make it pop. Unfortunately, this leaflet is unfinished another thing is, that I could've added text to the inside spread - that could have gone better. What went well is the images are perfect for this leaflet. This could really be an influence on my FMP because I'll be using a similar colour scheme (black and white with a pop of colour).

Colour for Emphasis:

I created this photo using Adobe Photoshop to highlight a certain object in the picture (the girl in the mirror). I imported an image I found on Pinterest then used the object selection to select the girl in the mirror and adjusted the layer to make it a different colour.

Pecha Kucha:

For this Pecha Kucha, I was explaining my concept for my final major project to the audience. What went well about this is I projected my voice well - and the audience also agreed on this. One thing that could've made this better is I could've added pictures or something for the audience to look at on the "Original Imagery" slide.

FMP Photos:

These are the photos I took for my FMP. I will be using it to create my website and my leaflet.

This is one of my favourite photos because the mirror is perfectly aligned to my liking, and the model's clothes stand out against the dark background.

This is one of my favourite pictures because the model is posed uniquely, making the photo look mysterious due to her expression.

Although I took many photos, not all of them turned out the way I wanted them to. I wanted the camera to focus more on the bracelet than the shoes; I should've told my model to wear different shoes so they wouldn't stand out as much. The picture also came out very blurry. To stop that from happening, I will increase the shutter speed to allow more light into the photo.

To create this image, I added big and bold text and made the word "black" stand out from the other texts to convey a sense of power. Furthermore, I converted the image to black and white to match the style I'm going for and to create a simple yet appealing look.

To create this image, I selected half of the image duplicated that half of the image and made it into a smart object. I then added motion blur to the selected part of the image. After, I went back to the first image and blurred that. Then I added a gradient layer to make it pop.

To create this image, I added noise and blur to give out a vintage look and then I added an adjustment layer to change the colours of the photo. Lastly, I added text and made it bold, bright and neon to show that retro look.

After, I went back to the first image and blurred that. Then I added a gradient layer to make it pop. This went well because It is very vibrant and abstract.

To make this image I adjusted the photo by changing the levels then I added a gradient fill to make it have more of a dark effect to the image and lastly, I added an adjustment preset layer to give a vintage look. This went well because I like how I created the image to be a dark and gloomy atmosphere.
