Final summary

The work i put into this section was indeed hard but i did my best and i beleave i managed to come through with all the work in the end

In the future i will attempt to put my time plan in greater detail so i can get the work done by a certain time and then have time at the end of finishing the work so i can go through it again more thoroughly to correct any mistakes and do work i may of missed out on through out then entire project

Poster possable drawings

 These images are the ones i was planning to use for my possible posters which ranges from a dragon to a custom made character as well as the drawing process from light sketching, although these were not my best drawings i choose not to use them because they would not fit in with the message i was trying to send so i decided to use an image from Google which would of given me more verity.

Group discussion

Group discussion 

I felt the group talk helped me decide on improvements to each idea I had and how changing small things can make a world of difference

Some of the idea’s the other group members of the group helped me and gave me ideas to add to my own image

·      Found out how to make my message more clear

·      How to edit the images to better the quality of the final design

·      How to make people’s eyes catch certain parts of the image

Throughout the entire meeting it gave me time to think about my ideas and how to improve them in a lot greater detail because of the time we had left to do so.

Diffrent teachnques

 These set of images are of my development of techniques within using photo shop and being able to just my ideas to match the set target are are brief

Mind Map

The mind map shows one part of the process of final idea's to do with my final poster ideas the moer basic work with more ideas i had on paper which is shown below


-Will be put on once compleated

Print screens and evidence of work

 The Print screens in this let up of images shows the different ways of using photo-shop to manipulate words and move them with ease.

 The basic wording of this lets us move each word up down left or right depending on what we would like the style of writing to look like making it are own.

Placing the words within this image seemed odd but after retyping over already made words looks odd and weird patterns but still clearly seeing the words within the pattern

The first steps of the pattern style i was experimenting in

<< This image shows how i had no other programmes openthat could possabley distract me

Magazine Research

this is just some of the research i had done for my final poster design

Health and Saftey

Doing this online quiz helped to tell me what i could do to help my own health while on a computer such as adjusting my chair to stop any back problems forming aswell as taking reguler brakes so i do not strain my eyes arms or hands with contant clicking on my mouth or touch screen it was suefull to tell me things that i did not already know about computer saftey aswell as showing me how to posistion my screen corectly

Time plan

Time plan:

Research 4 digital artists and analysis:

12/09/11 – I will be studying Todd McFarlane, jack kirby, Takashi murakami

Ideas and concepts:

13/09/11 – I will be doing mainly online research to find image affects backgrounds and character images to put in and form my poster

Present ideas and concepts:

14/09/11 – My current idea’s are mainly on the same base subject but the images within the posters will be completely different although still linked some how

Experimentation: I will be going to try multiple things on Photoshop such as the ripple effect and trying out different effects that will make a image look like it’s a flag swaying in the wind.

14/09/11 – 20/09/11

Final output rendering:  The final image I choose to do was of a large character closer to the front of the poster “superman” then I collared it in from scratch to make sure it was my own including the shades of colour and background used which was of earth with an nuclear explosion

21/09/11 – 27/09/11

Print final output:  The final poster image I did was like a comic book style which most people can relate to, as well as child like colours which would catch a persons eye to bring them to look at the poster in depth

Artist Research

Takashi murakami - A artist inspired by the anime and manga genre of cartoons and artwork which lead to his creations such as miss KO2 and imaginary daughter, the signature creation Mr. dob became an highly popular online pet in the city of japan which was one his greatest creations.

All of his work was deemed amazing by how childish it is considering his age and how similar each of his creations is to one another although they bare no resembles to each other than leaping to a creation that is completely different but still showing a similar genre.

Miss KO2 : this sculpture was inspired by the manga sailor moon mainly by their style of clothing and the way they are drawn/animated and sculpted plus the style of clothing they wear although deemed to sexual for some places the metropolitan museum of art in Boston is one of the few that will openly display these types of images.

Mr DOB has a circular head with two ears; the letter D is inscribed on his left ear and the letter B on the right ear. The face is O-shaped, thus making his name legible.

In 1993 he created Mr DOB as an alter ego, a sort of self-portrait, Murakami drew on elements of a character called Doraemon – a cat-like robot from manga – Japanese comic books – and anime, or animation. Sonic the Hedgehog – a character from video games and anime – was another influence

Personally I found his work extremely interesting and inspiring mainly because I enjoyed looking at the vast amount of colours and strange images he had to offer on his website and his work in the art gallery’s although his work is deemed childish I believe that it’s more like he hasn’t let go of his child like imagination with is what we should all still have to this day.

Jack Kirby – This image shows five of the most powerful and popular heroes in marvel history as the group called avengers.

The position the artist placed each character in shows their signature pose as well as if they are ready to go to war, and to fight for what they believe in and what they feel is fight which to other could seem like the wrong sort of thing to do

The way they are standing and what there standing on also shows that the way they are is like a statue to forever remember them for what they have done and to give inspiration to any other heroes in the world super or other wise not to the everyday community

Each colour is particularly chosen by a certain hero or because of the properties of what they are wearing.

The position also shows that Thor seems like the leader of the group due to him standing out the most and standing (floating) behind the rest of the group but still looking more like a leader than the rest.

In all the colours that are chosen she to normally be red yellow and blue due to the fact that there all bright vibrant colours to signifies their status as hero as villains wear darker of shaded colour

The background shows a typical city which the heroes protect and to have it towering above them makes them seem more like normal people and no matter how small they seem they will always win.

My personal option of this image: I believe he was trying to show how united people can be to aid one and other in a single cause in any situation although in this particular picture it’s about coming together to fight evil and rid the world of it

Todd McFarlane – Has designed comics such as venom, spawn and Spiderman. Most of these covers appear as dark and evil although most of the comics are based on heroes with a small amount of villain comics.

The image I choose was Spiderman in the black suite and venom, the use of limited colour in this image was chosen to portray what I believed to be the darker side of any hero and how that evil can take on a life of its own.

The stance of spider-man signifies a troubled mind as if he’s got something to think about that can’t be shaken off which the brings venom faded into the sky which is a part of him.

The impact of this image shows me that this image or poster could show darker things to outcome in the current series, comics or movies.

The pose of the main character also shows that he is giving up and that he can’t bare the burden anymore, the rain signifies depression and grief which also brings your eyes directly onto the main character instead of what’s in the background which also makes you focus on the brooding stance he has and wonder why he’s like that.

The relasonship  between the two characters in this image seem to be rivals as well as enemy’s  which indicates a big battle may take place of something surprising like a partnership may from.

The pose of the second character seems to almost taunting the other character in an attempt to get a reaction but also keeping to looking dark and scary  the fact that its faded could also mean it could be what the main character in imagine and fear. 

My personal option of this artist was that he showed an story behind this image through the stance of the character.                              

Howard Purcell: His most impressive work was his series of green lanturn comic book covers where he had the opportunity to experiment with a vast amount of styles and color structures while creating these master pieaces.
Most of his work was done with more darker colors due to the comic book paper which nearly always turned most colors dark, the colors normally used were the colors of green and veriouse shades which would show off the main characters essance.
each of his drawings and images are always drawn in a heroic pose aswell as actions poses symotenusly which seemed like a great chanalage for him to do in each and every comic.Well, what worked pretty well for this guy is that although, most of his work was dark (colour wise) the rest of the image stands out because he has used brighter colours, this makes a good combination. The title also really stands out as it is black, with a yellow-green outline, however what also makes it stand out is the pattern/effect it has to make it stand out. He's used a lot of block colour
which isn't really seen alot. People tend to shade more for the shadow effect
However, the's used strong block colours, which make the drawing seem like it has more importance
Other than that: Lots of detail. Lots of contrasting colours. Different shades of different colour. It's very roughly drawn, there are no soft lines, everything is very defined, as if drawn for a reason

Wordle Experimentation

During this process we were experimenting with an online programme called wordle which let us type into words to do with a certain subject of are choosing in my case it was what we all need by repeating the word it would make the word on the final page bigger than the words that you only put in once.

After trying out different words I noticed the randomize tool under the image which changed the color of some words, the position and the background color to give off different views of the same wording , luckily in this case the word fair-trade was put into green which is ironic because of what the word means.
