Raster Graphics

Raster Graphics use bitmaps made up of megapixels, which are made in a set grid meaning the resolution often gets worse if it is stretched larger or smaller.

Examples of raster graphics are JPEGs, TIFF files and PSDs, which are often large sized files.

1 megapixel is 1,000,000 pixels, so the lower the megapixel the lower the quality the image.

Page 4: Digital graphicss pro forma

Vector Graphics

Vector Graphics are made up of vectors/paths which have a start point, and an end point which are free flowing and are not fixed to a graph. This means the image can be scaled easier without it losing quality. They are good for creating things such as logo’s due to the fact they can be made bigger without the image distorting. Examples of vector graphics are AI and 3DS.

JPEGStands For Joint photographic experts group

Used For A JPEG can be used for uploading images to the internet to websites such as facebook or blogging sites.

Advantage The fact that the file is flexible and can be opened by many different software's such as PowerPoint or word, and can also be used on devises such as phones or tablets, means that more or less anybody can use or view a JPEG and it can be easily downloaded due to the fact you need no specialist software to use it.

Disadvantage A JPEG loses quality every time it is opened, meaning that the more a person views it, the worse the quality of the JPEG gets. This means that after a while, the file will become low quality, and cannot be restored to its original quality.

TIFFStands For Tagged image file format

Used For TIFF can be used to publish files on to a desktop, so that a file can be saved straight on to a desktop of a computer or machine.

Advantage TIFF documents that have more then one page can be saved as a single file document. Doesn’t lose quality due to compression.“Most TIFF file formats are uncompressed and designed to be independent of any particular hardware or software. These characteristics mean that you can resize TIFF images, increasing the number of dots per inch (DPI) without any loss of quality”.http://www.ehow.com/info_10065420_advantages-disadvantages-tif-format.html#ixzz2eUmGVQf4

Disadvantage A TIFF file can take up to 100 megabytes or more of storage space so more then one TIFF images can take up hard disk space quickly, even small files are too big to send by email and some applications. Most web browsers cannot open TIFF files, if you have a browser that can it takes a long time to download or open.

PSDStands

ForPhotoshop Document

Used For PSD can be used to manipulate images and stretch them to different sizes.

Advantage

In Photoshop the file can be made up of many different layers which can be individually edited at any point in time. This means that if you make a mistake and only notice it later on, you can go back to it and change it without disturbing any of the other layers. This means you can edit the layers accordingly to the other layers, E.G. if one layer covers text, you can adjust the layers. Another advantage of PSD is that you can change the opacity of an image, meaning you can fade layers, or make other layers more bold. This means you can have an image which is slightly see through meaning you can put text behind the image so the you can still see the text even when it is behind an image.

Disadvantage

Due to the fact a PSD file is made up of many layers, it means that the file can get very large, and take up a lot of space because of the fact each layer is part of a file its self. It is also only usable in Photoshop, meaning that not everybody can view a PSD, and that if you need to send somebody a PSD, you will have to change the file type accordingly so that the other person can view the file and open it.

AIStands For Adobe illustrator art

Used For AI is used to create logos for companies/businesses, it is also used to represent a company.

Advantage The advantage of AI is that you can use the same image and scale it bigger or smaller with no loss in definition, which means that if someone changes there mind on how big or small they would like the Image you wont have to re-start it all over again.

Disadvantage A disadvantage of AI is the time and talent needed to create it, this means that if you don’t have the time or talent to produce something with AI any mistakes that are small once you enlarge it they will become visible.Another disadvantage of AI is that drawings containing trapping information can only be scaled up to 20 percent larger or smaller.

3DSStands For 3D studio

Used For This is used to make 3D models of objects, meaning you can see an image from any angle. It can also be used to create animations of rendering on a 3D model.A 3DS can also be used to create a moving image in 3D, which can be used for things such as gaming.

Advantage A 3DS is a very powerful file, meaning that you can create great detail on the 3D model.A 3DS is also very flexible meaning it can be used by most software's so that most people can access them, so long as they have at least on form of 3D modelling generator.

Disadvantage 3DS’ are in many cases hard to use, meaning it can take a long time to get used to them, and a very long time to learn everything about them. They are also an incredibly large file to save.

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I liked the fact that the shapes went well with the shape of the body of the seal, and that the colours looked good as I did them a slightly different colour to the rest so that you could see the parts of the body.What would you improve if you did it again?I would add more detail to it if I did it again and spend more time on the facial area of it.

After more practice I went back a did another Rotoscope.

Page 16: Digital graphicss pro forma

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I liked the fact that it has lots of shading on and it looks realistic. The lips and nose and eyes are all in line which is what I like. It also looks like it has been painted.

What would you improve if you did it again?if I was to do this again I would add a background to make it a bit more colourful.

Text Based

Page 18: Digital graphicss pro forma

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I liked the fact that the words I created had the picture of the word created inside it, and that I used 3 different Images to create a clipping mask, and that I also made my text horizontal and used the last letter for the same word.What would you improve if you did it again?I would improve the type of font I used and I would also choose better images for the text.

Page 19: Digital graphicss pro forma

Text Based

After having some practice I had another go at doing it and came up with this.

Page 20: Digital graphicss pro forma

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I liked that I used a different picture for each separate word, I chose pictures that were related to the word. I like the font style it doesn’t give of a childish image.

What would you improve if you did it again?if I could do it again I would change the way the words are I would have them on a different angle.

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I liked the fact that I used a nice font style and old graphic paper as the background.

Digital Flat Plan

This is the image I have chosen to work with.

I have added some effects to outline her face and used polygonal lasso tool to cut out the shapes for her face and created the right colours to match the original picture.

I have added some text from lyrics from her song and then downloaded a font of dafont.com that I liked and inserted a picture into it. This is my final piece.

Peer Evaluation

What are the strengths of the final image?I like how the text at the bottom is presented nicelyWhat could be developed if the image was repeated? You could outline the text so it has more impact

Page 33: Digital graphicss pro forma

I also made this for a babies vest. I started out with just a plain white background and added text to it which is a quote from little Britain, then I created a bottle as I thought it went well with the text and the fact that it is on a babies piece of clothing. I made it so it is suitable for a boy or a girl.

Page 34: Digital graphicss pro forma

Peer Evaluation

What are the strengths of the final image?I like how the design is simple as I think it makes it more effective

What could be developed if the image was repeated? Could make some words bolder and bigger to

make the writing more interesting

Page 35: Digital graphicss pro forma

I also created an Elmo phone case which I created for all types of people so the audience can be any one, I started it with just a picture of Elmo and used the lasso tool to cut out bits so I could make his shape of body and chose brighter colours for him so that it stood out more I then chose the blue background so that is suitable for males and females.

This was my original image that I chose to work on.

Page 36: Digital graphicss pro forma

Peer Evaluation

What are the strengths of the final image?I like the texture of the Elmo image and how it is shaded

What could be developed if the image was repeated? Could make it available in multiple colours

Does your final product reflect your original intentions?

• Compare your planning/digital flat plans/ storyboards to your final product

My final product is what I thought it would be although I could of put more detail into it, it was my first time and thought I did well with it. I made it to suit the right audience and the colours I used worked well, I stuck to the same thing all the way through the process as I had already decided from the start that I would use Katy Perry. In my planning most of my ideas were about using Katy Perry as she is a celebrity so it might get more customers rather then something else and the fact that she has just brought out a new song.

I chose to used the lyrics rather then ‘roar’ as the ones I saw and looked up on red bubble mostly had roar in them they didn’t have lyrics so i wanted to make it different and unusual to the rest of the t-shirts being sold.

Page 39: Digital graphicss pro forma

Is your product suitable for your audience?

My product is suitable for my audience as I made it so that it would be, it is suitable because of the bright vibrant colours that I used to aim it towards a younger generation. I used katy perry as she is a well known celebrity in that target audience and I used the lyrics with intention of that particular audience as it is a popular song.

Page 40: Digital graphicss pro forma

What do you like/dislike about the techniques you have used?

I didn’t like using text with the images in the final product I don’t think it looked professional, I disliked the font that I chose overall as it wasn’t appropriate for my target audience because it was basic and rounded which gives the impression of a childish attitude. I liked using the lasso tool as it was a better way to get specific shapes when using that rather then using the shape button, as the shape button didn’t have the right shapes and sizes for what I needed.

Page 41: Digital graphicss pro forma

What do you like/dislike about how your final product looks?

• I dislike that it has smudges on it as I had forgotten to remove them but on my other two designs I liked the fact that it had colour and was simple but yet looked a bit more professional then the t-shirt, I disliked the fact that in all of them when using the lasso tool I wasn’t so accurate with it so there are rough edges, but it will take time and practice to be able to be perfect at it. In future before I upload my image I would like people to peer assess my work so I can ensure it is at the best quality I can possibly achieve.

Page 42: Digital graphicss pro forma

Why did you include the content you used?

I used the colours as it was aimed towards younger customers and the brighter colours that I used is what that type of customers go for. I used the image as Elmo is a classic and everyone loves him so I thought it was a good idea to create something that everyone will like, I used the Katy Perry image as she is a celebrity and has just brought out a new song so people that like her and her new song, people will want to buy something like that, I used the image of a bottle on my baby vest design as it went well with the text and as it is for a baby.

Page 43: Digital graphicss pro forma

What style have you employed in your products?

I looked at what other people had created on red bubble and it gave me an idea as most of the people that have designed the t-shirts on there didn’t have the text and picture of her from her new video, I chose this because Katy Perry is a celebrity and is a popular choice. I choose an Elmo phone case as when I looked on red bubble there was not much choice out there so I created another one to add to choice for the customers, and I also chose to do a baby vest little Britain one as there wasn’t anything on red bubble about little Britain and It is one of my favourites, so I chose a quote from it that I thought would be funny and go well with that fact that it is on a baby vest.

Page 44: Digital graphicss pro forma

What were the strengths and weaknesses of the pre-production and planning

The strengths of my products was the fact that when I was planning them they all turned out to the way I was hoping and are made correctly for the type of audience as I had planned them to be for certain ages types and I think I achieved that. The weaknesses of my products is that for my last two designs I didn’t plan them I just chose an image and a audience and worked on the images/text.

Page 45: Digital graphicss pro forma

Analyse each of your final print products commenting on the strengths, weaknesses and aspects you would do differently if you were to repeat

the project

My final product for this looks good but it doesn’t look professional, it needed more work on it but I hadn't realised that until I had uploaded it onto red bubble, the main weakness was the smudges on it and it needed more attention to detail, the strengths on this Is that it looks goo on the t-shirt and it suits my audience that I was aiming for. If I was to do it again I would take more time and effort on it.

My final product of this looks good, but I think I could of added more colour and images to it. The weakness in what I have produced is that it looks a bit plain even though it is for a baby it needed it some more colour on it and more images, the strengths of this is that I wanted it to be made as a funny quote and it is and that I made it so it is suitable for a boy and girl by doing a yellow bottle and black text. If I could do this again I would add more images and more colour to it.

My final product looks really good, I like that fact that it looks a bit rough on the edges but it gives it a good effect, the weakness of this is that I could of added some text or a flower or something in Elmo's hand. The strength of this is that it is bright which is what I wanted it to be and that it suits all types of ages so it matched what I was aiming for.

Peer Feedback

T-shirt; I agree with what the person said about the text needed outlining to make a bigger impact, in future I will try this and see what It is like.

I disagree with nothing that the person said, that gave me good constructive feedback which in future I will use.

Baby vest; I agree that I could make words bolder and bigger to make a bigger impact as it is a bit small and you cant really read it from far, in future I will use a bigger font and highlight bits that are eye catching to make it look better.

I disagree with the persons opinion that they think it looks nice because its plain and simple, as I think it needed a bit more colour to it and some more pictures, which is what I will keep in mind for next time.

Phone case; I agree with what the person saying about the style of Elmo and the shading being nice and that I should also make it available in a range of colours.

I disagree with nothing that the person said as the comments they gave me were right and next time I try to do something like this I will be able t take these comments into consideration.
