My own advert - Process and results

-

              This blog will be about the process of creating the end advert and I will show the final result. 



When I chose my image online from the research I did previously, I went ahead and started the image advert by going into Pixlr like I did in my practice blog. I followed the same steps as last time with editing and adding text and the logo I created first to the image which I show below in the process .



 I first opened Pixlr and chose Pxlr E


         Once I got in, I clicked file then 'new image' and print. Then I selected the A4 210x297 option, I chose the white background and then I pressed the button 'create'. 




Then I clicked on 'page' , 'page rotation' and 'rotate left' to turn my image sideways 


The next step was to select my image, I did that by clicking 'file' again, then 'open image', selecting the picture I downloaded earlier, and opening it. 

  

Afterward, I added text to the image which I did by going to the sidebar tool and selecting the 'T' sign (Text tool), then selecting where I wanted to add my text and wrote it . I changed the fonts to 'ATOMSFER' and the colour to match the colour palette of the image more. lastly, I adjusted the size of the text to fit at the top left and lower right of the image.





The next step was to create a logo on the website Taylor Brands, I used the name of the logo I created on my practice advert which is ESohos, and then selected one of the several designs that were created.


The last step was to add the logo on the image after I saved it, I opened 'file' again and repeated the same steps from the base picture. Then the logo image opened on a second layer which I selected with the tool 'marquee select' and then 'copy' and pasted it on the base image. I changed the size, colour, and placement.



Later on, I decided I wanted to try the advert with another two different pictures to see which one looked better, I finished all three of them using the same process and program. Here are the results :

Week 3 Further Research - Wassily Kandinsky

-
Image
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist and he is considered one of western art's forefathers of abstraction. He took painting studies in his 30s after completing his studies for law and economics. He was fascinated by colours, colour symbolism, and psychology from a young age and he traveled to the "Vologda region north of Moscow" as a part of an "ethnographic" research group, where the artworks and buildings he found there with shimmering and bright colours on dark backgrounds made him feel like he was moving in a painting, which inspired him in his early work.  His abstract work developed over time through his intense thinking on his artistic experiences, "inner beauty", "fervor of spirit" and "spiritual desire inner necessity" were central aspects of his art.  His interest in abstraction started when one day he went home to find one of his paintings hanging upside down which he stared at for some time. He was al

 This is my process of creating my boards for my final art portfolio project, using Photoshop.  First I created a new document by clicking on 'New File', then 'print', 'A3', and chose the landscape mode. after my page was open I went on 'Unsplash' to find a related background.  Then I clicked on 'File' that's at the top left corner, 'open' and 'on your computer' and chose the image that I downloaded.  After that, I selected the image with the 'rectangular marquee' tool which is the first icon on the left toolbar and then clicked on 'edit', 'copy' and then went to my first page, clicked on 'edit' again and pasted it. Then from the right tool bar I lowered the opacity to 40% which is located at the 'layers' category.  Then I followed the same steps with uploading my concept image and arranged the size and placement by clicking on the 'move' tool and then clicking on 'show trans

Week 5 further research

 In week 5 of planning, I'm doing some more research. Today I'm researching Rem Koolhaas, a Dutch architect who is known for his gravity-defying structures. His innovative and futuristic style has been setting standards for years, he thinks that "Terms like city, street, identity, and architecture are things of the past. The past is too small to live in". One of his famous works is the "De Rotterdam" building, this is a multifunctioning building, (a great work to look up to since my project revolves around multifunctional requirements as well), he describes his work as a "vertical city".                                                                                      The De Rotterdam  This building is located  at  Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam, he designed it in 1998 and it started at the end of 2009 and was finalized at the end of 2013. The stacked buildings of the De Rotterdam are organized in a subtly uneven cluster that resists unifying into
