Photoshop

For this piece of artwork I followed the instructions of a work document that would help me to make a Banksy type of artwork like the ones below and the one to the left.

For this artwork of Nicolas Cage (famous actor) I had to first pick a picture that I wanted to make into a Banksy piece then open up Photoshop. Then I had to drag the image in after adding a new layer so it would be the background layer and then a new layer.

Next I picked the gradient tool so it would allow me to change the colour of the picture I have chosen (I changed the colours to yellow and violet) then I added in a text box so I could add in a quote, then I went on Google Images to find a suitable background.

For this artwork of Dave Grohl (lead singer of Foo Fighters) I had to first pick a picture that I wanted to make into a Banksy piece then open up Photoshop. Then I had to drag the image in after adding a new layer so it would be the background layer and then a new layer.

 For this work what I had to do was open up a existing Photoshop file and take out the image that was in the grid so it would be blank. Then I found a image on Google that would be easy to copy off into pixel art form, the ones next to this text are Deadpool, Spiderman and Jake from the Deadpool Movie, Spiderman from anything relating to spiderman and Jake from Adventure Time.

This work was done in Photoshop and is a pop-art varient of the very famous Mona Lisa piece by famous artist Leonardo da Vinci, the original artwork has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about and the most parodied work of art in the world".

The difference that I have made to it are that I changed the colours to make the art look brighter.

Star Wars Assignment

Star Wars Assignment

For when I was starting the Star Wars Assignment I had to conduct some audience research to see what the people that were watching my presentation would want to watch and be entertained by.

The influences that I got were from previous Star Wars films because they would me with my questions that I would ask in the video.

The synopsis of my video was that I would ask someone in my class some questions about their favourite Star Wars films and how they think they will change.

The moodboard is important because it helps people be able to get a understanding of what the work is your doing

The way that I shot my video production was the normal way that it would've been shot with a camera and someone on the other side

For my video that I made I needed to decide if I was going to have a Protagonist or a Antagonist but in the end I decided against it and just had one person sitting behind a table.

When I was making my video I was planing on using a few props to make my work seem more professional, but at the last minute I decided against it because I didn't have much time left to film.

For the legal and ethical considerations portion of my work I didn't have to worry about getting in trouble because I didn't include any music that could be copyrighted.

I had to make sure that nothing could go wrong and nobody could get injured with faulty equipment.

Thanks for reading through my presentation

For when I was starting the Star Wars Assignment I had to conduct some research into what products had made Star Wars the cultural juggernaut that it is now with its action figures, DVD's, Video games and more.This helped me when I found a website that shows how much money Disney and George Lucas have made because of Star Wars.

For this section I had to think of the different audiences that have watched the Star Wars films and in what order they have watched them in. This section also includes what spoofs have been made and how successful they are (the most successful is Spaceballs).

For this section I had to look at how much money the Star Wars franchise has made over the past 30 years and what is the most successful product that has been made. (Merchandising at $32 billion is the most successful, while the main six films made $4.5 billion).

For this section I looked up how the Star Wars films have changed over the past 30 years. With the use of CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) and if it has ruined or hurt the lasting impression that the fans have had.

For this section I had to see what the audience would want to see in my video production, this was a bit hard because I didn't really know what other people would expect from my video and I also had to think about what they would find good about my video.

Hollie's work

 This a mind-map of the types of things that my magazine could include. This type of magazine is aimed at pre-teens to adults because it has something to do with video games most of which will interest the chosen target audience. My e-magazine is based on video games and it features the information below with added details regarding opinions on the gaming industry today and gaming news.

 

These are examples of what my e-magazine could look like, a magazine is used to raise the profile or brand of a game aimed at a specific target audience. The target audience that my magazine will be aimed at is 12-30 year olds (the stereotypical age group for gamers) this is so my magazine can reach the specific audience that it is aimed at.

The reason why I chose to do a game type e-magazine is because it will be able to reach a wide range audience. Another reason why I chose to do this type of magazine is because it will be easier to do compared to many other magazines for example it will be easier to do than a sport type of magazine because I don't know much about sports because it would probably be on a certain topic, however for games I know a lot more than I do for sports so it would be easier and filled with much more information.

The reason why I think the Battlefield cover is really good is because it clearly shows off the cover star in a action pose, with the game title clear and bold. It also shows different games with a description or something about them, it also includes the "biggest new games" (including Crysis 2, Might & Magic Heroes VI, Portal 2 and Deus Ex Human Revolution)

The reason why I picked The Hitman Absolution is because it shows the main character (Agent 47) in a action pose with a bullet flying out of one of his guns, showing that he is in trouble or engaging in a gun battle of some sort.
