Article Layout 10:30 am

Above: Article Research on layout and structure placment

Looking at structure of an article. It was interesting to find how it is actually set up when being produced for a magazine, as opposed to doing it all by guesswork with no guides. That was also a great little thing we were taught on photoshop, the ruler guides really enhance a layout.

The Future And Product Size 8:53 am

Article taken from The Metro newspaper 22nd October 2007

The Size Of Computers, Yes we have handheld computers now, but as the article mentions a hand held super computer, super being better than the ones accessible now yes? the cables being one thousandth of the thickness of a human hair.

And This is in the next decade? which is a similar time to the brief title making it 2017 only 3 years in the past, but on the other hand a lot can happen in three years.

Photoshops New Functions 10:57 am

3D LAYERING:

Just finished designing a CD cover to promote my bands ep/album launch.

And Thanks to a handy bit of photography and photoshops awesomeness, i have successfully managed to get a grip with the 3D visual filtering techniques. Daunting at first, but soon became second nature, a very easy and effective process to follow.

Anyway here is an example of some of the work i have been practicing these techniques on:

All About me me me... 2:03 pm

The idea was to have photoshop open and have other things which are of personal interest to me interacting with the software, like in a fun and playful manner.
Successful? i would like to believe so.. Sure, further developments could lead to more enhanced outcomes, although its a rather good start.

it was my 5th initial design and from what i believed, one of the stronger ones.

also when i was photoshopping away i was messing around with some photos from the photography induction last thursday, and came up with a nice little idea which combines my main idea of stacking personal belongings in a balancing act, and an alternative idea i have of using scale to an advantage.

This was the outcome:



Titled: DRUMS ON THE MIND

Using Visual interpretation you may be able to figure out that the image is a visual of my "affection"for drumming. The font placed above the bassdrum is to challenge you with the question " if the font was to be removed, would you still come to a similar conclusion of the visual being my love for drums" ?

My Personal alternative conclusion was it indicating that i have a headache due to a loud banging noise? the common term "my head is thumping/banging like a drum"

Something to consider!

About Me Development 8:44 am

Were i am so far:

I have set the ball rolling with my main idea, at the moment its very raw, but you can notice the comparison to my previous sketch work. As i did say the image is really raw at this moment in time, also i need to photograph my personal positions to start applying them in a stacked form onto the bassdrum.

I am hoping the photoshop work wont be too challenging, but sometimes its an all or nothing experience, you get what you want, or it just looks like a rite horrible turd smeared all over the screen.

Anyway the image is as follows: (lets use our imaginations to see the stack of personal belongings)

Second Life 5:24 pm

I have now got an avatar design, it looks as follows:



ok its not amazing, but a reckon its a hell of a good start. The hat was made by shaping the functions to create a hat form.
The shorts are a library surface pattern which is actually moss, but it looks very simular to camo lol

Will be something to look at making better in the near future (hopefully)

So far i intend to develop this idea further by researching into photography techniques, White/blue/green screening for easier overlay editing of the separate products I will appear to be balancing in the image.
