unit 3 produce craft work

3.1.1 Time Plan.









3.1.2/3.2.1/3.2.2 Screen Grabs of Work in Progress.



For my idea " Pain is inevitable, Suffering is optional " i took an image of some soldiers running down a desert path from google and pasted it into photoshop.







I then added a different sky that i found on google to the soldier image, the reason being that i wanted to place the African slaves in the sky, but the sky in the soldier image would not stretch to the top of the screen so i had to get a new one. I have the original image of the sky before i manipulated it to fit the soldier image:
To fit it with the soldier image i had to use the eraser tool to get rid of the ground in the original sky image, i then had to erase the parts of the sky that were covering the soldiers heads and fill in the gaps around there head with the paintbrush, i used the eyedrop tool to get the correct color. I later realized, whilst writing this, that i could have just dropped the sky behind the image of the soldiers.

I then got an image of some African slaves from google and put it in the sky, i had to use the blending options for an overlay and put the opacity at 0, i then used the eraser with a low opacity to blend it even more rubbing out the edges i finished of by using different variations to change the color of the image and make it more blue. I have the original image here:

And finally i added the text "Pain is inevitable " at the top in the clouds, i colored it blue and used the blur tool to make it blend more. And for the text " Suffering is optional " i colored it red and made it slightly bigger.




3.3.1/3.3.2/3.3.3 Evaluation: I really enjoyed creating this poster i learned a lot of new skills in photoshop and feel confident that i can produce better work in the future. I had a few problems with creating this image i changed the idea a few times because of feedback from peers, but i feel i made the right decision.
