Fantasy Appliance Progress 01

The appliance I have been working on digitalizing is a blender; this is the photo I am using for reference.

    I can't wait to see your digitalized version of these. I think that there is a lot of things that could go along with a blender that would mix well, like a helicopter. I think that this a great image very clean and lots of values of greys to work with.

    Hey Catherine! There are a lot of ways you can go in developing this appliance into something interesting. Maybe something with flowers or nature would be cool, where it is spilling out of the top? The gradient tool will be fun to work with with this piece!

Final Project Progress 02

Image
 I decided to try to approach some kind of a theme to have more of a message or purpose behind my final, and ended up trying all kinds of different directions. The first stab I took at it was a spring themed project; I went outside and took a series of photos (more than I will be showing here) of some of the growth of spring. The original photos I used are the first and the third; the middle image was one of the beginning of "spring" iterations that I found myself abandoning. I chose to abandon this idea because (1) computer issues, but most importantly (2) I really want to push myself to explore a theme or skill that I haven't yet with this class. I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of combining media and textures, so I decided to explore that concept. I started by creating a collage of newspaper  and then layered another (larger) newspaper on top to blend them together. Here are a few of the different blending modes I liked: I decided to use the third picture. I intend on cre...

Fantasy Appliance Progress 04

Image
  In these images, I took the originally outlined base and added gradient fills to the inside. I then added the vectorized water image to a background layer, where I repositioned all of my shapes/objects. (As you can see, I forgot to make the water layer greyscale; I corrected this in the next few steps.) I decided to put the blender in the center of the image to make it appear as though it was sucking water up into the blender from the bottom.  After deciding I wanted to have some kind of substance coming out of the top of the blender, I removed the lid layer and added it to the water. I found that setting it on top made my work look flat; so I set the lid at an angle, and erased half of it to make it appear as though it has been thrown in the water and is sinking. From here I then added another gradient fill to the top portion of the blender and on the handle (playing with transparency); as well as the button in the middle. I additionally added a curved shape to the base of ...

Destroy the Icon Progress 05

Image
 At this point I have created two out of four solid iterations. In working on my third, I used photoshop's stylize filter to create an oil paint and "embossed" look  From here, I used the pattern stamp tool and played around with different patterns (I copied her eye, then took the Afghan symbol from the Afghan flag, and began to play with that.) I liked the Afghan flag look, so I painted the figure of the Afghan girl with this pattern.  I used blending modes to blend the flag into the images, adding another image of the Afghan girl on top of the blended/meshed images, using a crystallized pixelated effect (on the second Afghan girl image) before using another blending mode. **layer one- oil paint & embossed effect, normal blending mode **layer two: painted stamps with linear light blending mode  **layer three: crystallized pixelated effect, difference blending mode And honestly? I think its worth mentioning that hiding layers and seeing the way some layers intera...
