WEEK 3 
Recolouring b/w photos in photoshop, brush tools

MR MARTIN

In week 3 mr martin's lecture contained a bit of detail about how or why we could need to recolour certain pictures along with how it could be done 

After lecture was a short tutorial in which mr martin showed us the process of recolouring photoshop 

Recolouring exercise

I couldn't make it to the class that day so i didn't attempt the exercise but i reviewed the recorded lecture and attempted the task given in relation to the exercise

Task 

The task for the week was 
  •  choose a black and white picture of either our own choice or the provided picture by mr martin 
  • recolour it using photoshop 
Process 1 

I chose my own picture for recolouring just because i could explore different ideas 
the picture i chose was 


i chose this because i usually found myself working with portraits a lot and that was what most of my designs and style were based on 

Process 2

After choosing i opened the file in photoshop , and just roughly made a mind map of what i could recolour


Process 3 

After the rough layering out i started with the main colour which was the skin i used different brush tools till i could get a good brush which i thought could easily be used in corners and etc



After covering most of the skin i changed the layer to multiply mode and slightly adjusted the opacity also 


Process 4

I then repeated the process for all layers


I also used some other blending modes such as Overlay and Hard light 

Process 5 

After all the colouring and blending i added one layer of gaussian blur over it and handed for submission 


Final Outcome


Feedback
  • Is already good enough no need to make changes
  • Start practicing next exercise


Intro to Photoshop 2
Double Exposure Effect, Blending mode, Working with mask

 Mr Fauzi

 In this week mr fauzi gave us a lecture on what double exposure means , and why it can be used

Along with where you can use it and why it is a very important but simple thing

 After the lecture we were given a photoshop tutorial on how to create a double exposure effect using

  • Masking layer
  • Blending modes
  • How to use negative spaces
Also a breif on project 1

Task

For the task we were given a set of picture which we had to use to make our own compositions using the different techniques mentioned above

Given pictures












Using these pictures we had to show a creative composition 

Process 1 / composition 1

This composition i used masking layer and repetition , along with the overlay and multiply blending modes
  • planes - design elements
  • mountains- background
  • leaves- Foreground
Process 2 / composition 2


In this composition i used the same blending modes but also some othjer ones like linear burn for the people and i kept the building as my main feature

Process 3/ composition 3


This composition i used a different approach and modes that darken the picture , such vivid light and my main feature was the biggest shark

Feedback and consultation

  • Good composition , use design elements , foreground and backgroudn arrangement
  • But lacks a main feature
  • Continue with second one , most better in the three

After which we provide a proposal to be accepted. at the end of the semester we were to present our projects in an exhibition. My choice of topic was "binaural beats as an aid in drug recovery" related to the sdg of drug abuse and solutions Proposal : So my chosen project was countering the problem of increasing drug relapse in rehab centres due to doctors not having a solution to help their patients in recovery.

  Dayyan Ahmed - 0344670 Design research dissertation  Final Compilation and reflection Instructions Dissertation Turnitin report  Research article for publication  Reflections Out of all the things we learned this semester for me the three key elements would be. First, summarizing text. My way of writing is often very descriptive however in this module we were going the other way and decreasing words which was pretty annoying in the beginning but then I caught up pretty good. Identifying key words and to the point descriptions easily let me decrease my text at the same time keeping the relevant content. Secondly, I think I have been going through this since i started university. Organization , the importance of organizing your work flow is extremely important especially when you have the pressure of four other modules. If I was to follow my old work flow I probably would be dead but i kept my work flow pretty organized this time and ev...

During the comparison i could point out which type of content was above others and a more better approach when running a specific campaign.
