Graphics

Graphics day 1

Materials

paper

 indesign

 illustrator

 photoshop

Process

On the first day of graphics we learnt about typography. In typography we used different lines such as the ascender line, baseline and the descender line. These lines help make your letters. We then tried to create our own font incorporating the lines.

After that we took out some cameras and tried to find objects around the college that look like letters of the alphabet. We had to try and find as many as we can. 




In the afternoon we took one of our photos and then put into indesign and illustrator to turn it into a magazine cover. We also looked at the different ratios a photo can be split into. The different ratios are the rule of thirds, the golden ratio, the diagonal ratio and the spiral ratio.



We changed the brightness and contrast by using the curve bar. a
And then added text to the photo so that the cover had a title.

Technical skills

The skills that we learnt from graphics is how to edit photos in photoshop without decreasing the quality in the image. This skill is really relevant to photography as I am always on photoshop editing photos.

After looking through his work i figured that some of his photographs could be recreated. not by taking the photo in the exact same place. but by using the same concept of filters and the use of a tripod. this is the photo that inspired me to go out and capture my own long exposures. I like the way that the water looks in this photo. It can come across as looking like clouds or mist. the way Asik has created this is by using something called an neutral density filter which allows the cameras shutter to be open for longer without the photo becoming over exposed. Here is my recreation. the shutter speed for this particular photo was set to 10 seconds which allowed the water to blur and create the misty effect that i wanted to achieve. I  made sure that the orientation of the camera was set to portrait so that i could include the full length of the water ...

Media Jobs Director Floor manager Sound Camera Actors Lighting Camera change Autocue Process The aim of the lesson was to create an advert for a pen company called Bic. We then got split up into groups to brainstorm ideas for the advert. After all four groups came up with their plan we pitched it to the teacher who then decided who's idea was best. Then the teacher picked the best one and we started to develop the idea and start to produce the advert. We were all  given  different jobs so that we could successfully make the advert. The rolls were the actors, director, floor manager, camera, lighting, camera change and  auto cue. My job was to operate one of the 4 cameras.I was positioned diagonally so that I could get side views of the actors. The whole advert lasted 30 seconds. And it took 5-6 times to complete it as it was a live recording so their was no room for mistakes. Technical Skills The technical skills we ...
