Development of My Digital Graphic

I had chose many swords for my game design and I decided on choosing the one in the last slide. I drew this by hand using a pencil then scanned it by email so I could edit it on Pixlr.com. I then developed it by adding detail and accurate lines getting rid of all the mistakes as you can see in the next slide.

As you can see in the slide before the colour of the swords handle has changed I decided to change this because I believed a darker shade of grey would look more affective I also added more detailed designs into it as you can see I used colours for the paint brush tool and the eraser to get rid of any mistakes.

I had to save my scanned image into my documents then open the file up onto pixlr so I could trace it using a sketchpad which we connected to the computer. I used many tools to make my design such as the pencil tool and with in that I used the sketchy and shady tools as well as a plain one the purpose of this was for it to look more professional. I used different paint brush tools as well to add colour to my sword I did this because my sword is really basic and needed an aspect that stood out.

I used the colours grey to fill my blade in making it represent steel and look more realistic and a darker shade of grey to show the handles of the sword. I used the colours blue and white to add detail to the design. It is a very unique sword which I made up from my imagination I have never seen a design like this before.

ToolsTo create my weapon I had to use a number of tools on pixlr editor. One tool I used was the paint brush I used this to colour in my sword, another tool I used was the crop tool to remove all the bits I didn’t need.I used the zoom tool to zoom into the design so I could colour in the image better. The pencil tool was very beneficial to my design as I used it to outline the weapon and give it edge. I used the colour selector to choose different colours for my weapon.

I think creating a tool on pixlr was a very tricky thing to do, because I was not use to drawing on a sketchpad and using the technique. My final design was in fact the same as one of the first drawings I created. The sword didn’t differ I just chose to add a different colour to it and make it more original. If I had to redo this experience I would make a more detailed design and use more tools than I used before, I would also sketch my designs better so it would be easy to work with on pixlr editor.
