Week 11 (Imaging)

Today we started the class by working on our zines. We showed our character design to Ma’am and she told us to use Illustrator and image trace our drawings and convert them into vectors for our zines.

We showed our zine ideas to ma’am and how we wanted the layout of the zine. Ma’am then told us how to print the pages according to us for the zines. We started making corrections in our zines and then put them in illustrator to make them vectors and try a few colour gradients and options.

Ma’am then taught us a few options in photoshop. Ma’am taught us different options(Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation) in the image menu used to enhance pictures.

  • 1. Open a picture
    2. Click on Image – Adjustment – Brightness/Contrast
    3. Enhance the picture
  • 1. Open a picture
    2. Click on Image – Adjustment – Hue/Saturation
    3. Enhance the picture
  • 1. Open a picture
    2. Click on Image – Adjustment – Hue/Saturation
    3. Choose the Colorize option
    4. Enhance the picture
The colorize option in Hue/Saturation is used to give a tint to the whole picture.
  • Normal Picture
  • Picture enhancement using Selective Option
  • Selective Option can also be used within objects
The Selective Option is available in the Adjustment Option in Images. It is used to enhance a specific colour of choice in the picture, we simply choose a colour to be edited in the picture in selective option and enhance the colour accordingly. This Image had colours like Blue, Green, Yellow, Cyan, White, Magenta, Red and Black and by choosing each colour and making necessary changes can enhance the picture.

Ma’am then taught us how to use Styles. Styles are basically ready-made effects which can be applied to Texts or Objects.

1. Click on Windows – Styles
2. Create an Object/Text
3. Choose the style

Ma’am taught us to apply perspective on Texts. First of all, we need to convert the Text into an object and to do so we simply Rasterise the Layer. Then go on Edit – Transform – Perspective and move the cursor accordingly. Ma’am made multiple copies of a text in perspective which gave it a nice effect, to do so click Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Up/Down arrow.
