My mini-projects

In the past few lessons I have been working on some little mini project that I have created for myself and one of these mini projects are taking a Egyptian pyramid and drawing it out three times and trying to draw the pyramid with different textures on it, like for the first pyramid I put different types of graffiti going up the pyramid and then for the second pyramid I made it look like it was build out of cobble stone, and then for the third pyramid I made it look like the pyramid was build out of modern day bricks. Another mini project that I have done is I was trying to contrast the USA flag with the Egyptians flag, so what I did was put both of the flags onto photo shop and I just cut out the USA stars of the USA flag and then I put them onto the Egypt flag and I duplicated the stars about ten times so I could fill in the whole of the white layer on the Egyptians flag. For my third mini project I am going to try and edit some graffiti and try to add different colours and effects onto it. For my forth and final mini project I am going to try and draw a piece of T-kids style of graffiti and I am going to draw in on black card and its going to be drawn in chalk.

Photoshop effects

In today's lesson I have been looking at the different types of effects that I can use on photo shop, I have taken one of my photos to do with my final idea and I have edited it using photo shop. I tried four different effects on this photo, these were glowing edges, plastic wrap, patchwork and ink outlines. The one I was looking at the most was the ink outlines as I can use that for my final idea as I will be able to use it to really bring out the lines and drawing that I will put in my final idea. I also thought about using the glowing edges in my final idea as I am contrasting New York and Egypt so the glowing effect can really bring out the City of New York. All of these affects could help me with my final idea in a way, so I will most likely use all of these affects in my final product to make my final product the best that it can be.
