DTP POSTER/IN DESIGN

In the first Indesign lesson we were taught about basics of this program: how to properly place or edit images. 
To make the text layout dainty we tried guttering, kerning, leading and also drop cap. 

This lesson gave me very much experience and understanding in using this program which can really help me in the future. 

ROCKET/PEAR

For our  creative Adobe studio lesson we were thought how to create a rocket and a pear using Illustrator programme. 

ROCKET

Firstly we were asked to create a rockets shape using just one tool. The shape of the rocket was made from oval by changing and moving it with anchor points.
To create dotted line inside: Window>Appearance>Add New Stroke 
To create new texture as this green square one: Object>Pattern>Make


PEAR


The second task was to create a digital pear using picture. First of all we used pen tool to get the pear overall shape. After this we used mesh tool to add 3D effects to this pear. 
To give colour to a pear we used direct selection tool (A)  and the eye drop tool (I).    

STORYBOARD/FINAL

I decided to do storyboard with InDesign rather than using paper sheet. All the pictures in layout tells the story. I wanted to experiment with InDesign ,to try new things. Also, try my best that it would look much more professional as it can be.

STORY/ STORY WRITING

You can see my story here. "A SAD LOVE STORY"

LIGHT BULB WITH TREE

The first Photoshop lesson. To create this image I used three different separated images: a tree, a light bulb and a light bulb screw.
Firstly, I used a quick selection tool and magic wand to cut the light bulb screw and tree away from original backgrounds.Secondly, I used clone stamps tool to remove any imperfections. The reflection of the tree was created by making layer of leaves double. I needed to flip the image and change opacity of the one layer.
