 DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGING

💡Week 13💡

Lecture

Starting from Week 11 there will be no lecture where we mainly focus on projects on hand and seek for Mr. Fauzi feedback to improve the work.

📸PROJECT 4: SELF TITLED - DIGITAL POSTER

• Going into following week I received useful suggestions from Mr Fauzi that refreshed my mind and have new ideas. Mr Fauzi suggested as surrealism artwork, the point is to make it realistically unreal, it aims to give a viewer realistic view with imaginative elements. I decided to play with the portrait face and go "faceless"

Reference:

I also watched some tutorial video I find useful on how to make this effect

• using pen tool to crop out the face and add filling to make it less odd looking and realistic

• After cropping out the face, I added pink clouds with the elements I have searched on, with "lighten" as blending mode, the outcome turned out interesting

• next is the moon, from online resource I learnt about you can apply outer glow for your layer - exactly what I needed for the moon effect

• Add adjustment layers to the road landscape: brightness & contrast, curves, color balance

• Lastly, made adjustments to the galaxy background, I felt like the original picture I chose has too many stars making the background might look too packed

hence I found another galaxy picture and decided to blend them together

Final Outcome

Update: Mr. Fauzi pointed that I made a mistake with canva size :") Instead of 1080px:1500px, it should be in 1080px:1920px.

Reflection

This poster particularly took me quite long time to complete as I have to consider a lot of details and it took me most time to blend everything together to make them fit best together, the brightness, color balance and contrast of different layers should be aligned. And I have to also add the shadows, glow to make the objects to appear realistic. Overall it's a long and tedious process but by looking at the outcome it is still satisfying.
