Reflection 19/03/2012

Today in Creative Media I continued working on my second avatar. I started my changing the different colours of my hair and getting the fine bits my using the mask and turning the opacity up and down. I also had to change the brush options by making it soft,hard,small and big. Once I had done the hair I did the texture on the face the same as the first one but then made the colours all dark so she looked sad. Because SAD is what the emotion of my second avatar is. After I did the texture on my face I inserted the barbie body. Once I had masked the barbie body the lesson and thats all i finished working on in todays lesson.

Reflection 14/03/12

Today in creative media I think I finished my first avatar which was really exciting. I made the final touches to my avatar which was like liquifying the face and making sure the masks are all very neat and precise. This was really hard because I wanted all my layers to blend and look all normal and 3D. Today I also used the dodge and burn tools. This was the first time I actually needed to use these tools and I realized the real difference they made. Todays lesson was really good and I'm looking forward to working on my second avatar.

Reflection 13/03/12

Today in creative media I blended the barbie doll with the head of my avatar. I also had to put the same texture which was originally on its face as its body. This took a lot of time and I found it quite hard. I had to use Hue/Saturation and different blending modes. With my avatar I have used the mask tool ALOT! I think I am going to have to hurry up with my avatar, borrow a laptop out on the weekend and start on my second avatar.

Images

 These are the images I think I am going to use for my avatars. I think these ill portray good emotions and are just over all good images. The first emotion will be HAPPY and the second emotion will be WORRIED

Reflection

Today in creative media I worked on making a background. I started by finding a couple of different images that I thought would be suitable to put behind my avatar but still not take the focus off her. I got a moon, a cloudy sky and a galaxy. When I started to bind all these together it all looked really good! But I still have a bit of work to do on it. I have to decide what I am going to put on the bottom half of the background. This was good because I learnt how to use another aspect of photoshop. I also have been working on my lips, face colour/texture, hair and eyes.

Todays Reflection

Today in creative media I continued working on my avatar and did her hair and lips. I learnt the gradiant tool. Which I thought was really really cool! I got to choose which colours I wanted put over my lips and hair andn made the different type of rainbow pattern I wanted.  Once I applyed the gradient tool I put a mask over it so I could rub out the bits I did not want. I then adjusted the opacity so it looked more natural and used a softer brush. Once I had done this Mr. Andrews showed us how to repaint the eyelashes and change the colour and thickness of them. I found this really cool and he also taught us how to make them look more natural. Today I also fixed up a few extra blemishes that I found when I zoomed it a bit.
