Shape Task

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?It was a full body image of a llama so it was easy to place shapes over it to and warp them into the right size and outline, and it portrays the exact shape of it. The llama didn’t have a lot of detail on it, apart from fur which I didn’t include. I added the nose, an eye and the dark inner part of its ears to add some more detail to the face, which made it look a lot more life like.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would make it look more realistic by adding textures, gradients and shadows instead of just having one block colour, this would bring it more to life. I would spend more time refining the shapes to get the exact shape of the llama’s body parts so it doesn’t look as messy, such as the legs and the head. If I had more time I would have maybe made the background more interesting instead of block green, by creating an abstract background using different colours.

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I liked how I could get the precise outline and shapes for the reindeer by using the polygonal lasso tool, which was much easier to do than when I just had to use shapes for the shape task. It was also quicker to do as I didn’t have to spend time warping the shapes. I also liked how I added detail to the reindeer, like the face and the different patches of colour on its body, this made it look more realistic.

What would you improve if you did it again?Some parts look quite messy because some parts of the body didn’t completely get filled with colour, particularly the legs, so I would spend more time improving that area to fill in the gaps. I would also add more detail, such as fur texture, to make it look more real.

Text Based

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I like the texts on the right best where I added the image of the pizza into the writing because it makes it look much more interesting and creative and not like a plain font with block colour. I also liked the text that I warped and added a gradient to because made it look more colourful and less boring which makes it more appealing to look at. Warping the text made it look more interesting than just keeping the normal font shape. I liked how I added the strokes to my texts because it made the words stand out and clearer to read.

What would you improve if you did it again?If I did it again I could experiment with more techniques, such as pattern overlay and drop shadow, and I could try distorting the text in different ways. I would also use more images to create clipping masks with different fonts and sizes
