Vector Portrait

The following image is a vector image which I have made using Illustrator CS5. I hope it is clear to tell who the person is as they are a celebrity singer- This illustration features Hayley Williams- singer from Paramore. The reason why I have made this image is becuase it was an experiment and a learning method so that I would be able to gain a better understanding of Illustrator and the different effects and images that can be achieved. The reason why I chose this image is becuase, I am a fan of the band, but also becuase of the clear outlines and tones which are in the image, which makes it easier to be able to structure the piece.

My Magazine, my Images

The following images are all of the different collages which I made using photographs which I took from my local area. The reason why I made these images is because we where set the task of designing our own magazine including the images used in the magazine. The theme behind the images is Urban therefore I edited the different layers on the images when making them as well, this was so that the colours and style would blend together more but also, it means that they fit the theme more. Over all I am happy with the quality of the images which I was able to make, and I did find it easier to make these images now, thanks to the impossible place project. I also tried not to use the same images twice in the collages.

Any and all feedback/ comments welcome and appreciated.

Impossible Place

The following images are examples of photo collages which I have made. This is because we where set a brief of going and taking photographs and being responsible for the quality. Then we had to put them together to make a place that doesn't actually exist, therefore we where also responsible for how the images would go together and making sure we found appropriate images to use. The first example is of a more impossible place because its not something that could exist in reality. Then the next example is also impossible because it doesn't exist, however it could be built making it a more realist view, which is also made from an inside vantage point. The final image is a black and white version of the second image, this was so that i would be able to see the difference of impact based on colour and no colour.

 Any and all feedback welcome and appreciated.

Re-Touching

This post is the first example of work which I am going to post, the reason why it is called "re-touching" is because the first image is the original and then the second image is what it looks like after I have digitally enhanced it. I have also added colour to the edited section, the reason why I have chose brighter colours than what you might normally see is because I was following the style of when images had colour added by hand. I am happy with the quality of the finished section and I decided to keep part of it unedited to show the difference. This is also the first time I have ever tried to do re-touching work, however it was a new method and also very interesting and enjoyable to do.

Any opinions on the outcome will be greatly appreciated, after all nothing is more interesting than a good debate of opinion!
