Task 2:explore materials, tools and techniques to support craft ideas

Photoshop intro with dan
1st off we got a picture of big ben and cut it out

then we got a picture of the background we will use  

put the big ben in front of the clouds 

 get a wave picture and blur there edges and adda a layer mask and erase to add or subtract  from the image

add the busses and a lage wave then blend the layers using the multilayer and use lasso totake asection of big ben then rotate and use hue /saturation

i reapeated the simailar sort of technique and created this image ~^


today
we  had  took a intro on graphics pads on how they work and how to change the settings.
then we started to create some paint brush settings on photoshop
we started by selecting the shape we want with the lasso tool

then use the gradient tool to get a black filling












after that we used the define brush pre-set

then we went on to the brush/brush pallete setting

then I adjusted the brush and added scatter and colour to produce ^ then repeated
with other colours

i mind mapped to show what I could do for my final piece
i had mind maped different natural disaterds and went into detail on different disater


i took a tutorial to try and improve my skills on Photoshop
so i turned a lion into a graphic statue

 i started with a simple picture of a lion

 i cut out the lions background

 i selected the eyes and used the gradient tool

 I then desaturated the lion

 it looks like this

 i got a rock texture

 then selcted both layers and used multiply

i got a picture of blood and cut it out

then  multiply and here we are turned into a statue

 Thees are some expiroments of the statue texturs that i can use and i think ill use tyhe 2nd because that it stands out more
