Legibility and Text Safe Areas

We were asked to download a picture from the internet which we could use as a backdrop to a text message.  I downloaded a picture showing flowers and  effect of flow of water. Then using the photoshop medium ,I wrote a word in the style and font which would appear a part of it and not contradict the background.The layout was in a wave form to complement the mood of the backdrop.I think the text kind of blended with the background and is looking stylish.

Colour Echo

Colour Echo

We first downloaded a picture from the internet to work on it .I downloaded a balloon and working in the photoshop, I deleted the background by selecting the 'magic wand' ' clicking on the backdrop' and then pressing 'delete'.I pressed select and deselect to remove the dotted line.Next using the eyedropper tool, I chose the colour of the backdrop from the colours of the balloon on a separate layer and added text to it.

                                                  

 Using the rectangle tool, I created different horizontal stripes and chose the colors from the balloon.This activity can be used to create a harmony between the image and the palette.It will enhance the overall effect of the design. 

Hue and Saturation

Hue and Saturation -

  We selected a colourful  picture from the internet and and tried to work around the different shades and effects of the color. In  photoshop, using adjustments,  I first changed the hue to +128 by dragging it to the extreme right  and could see the change in the look of the picture.

 Next I changed the saturation  to -81 and again the effect was dramatic. So a variety of colors can be created by changing the hue ,saturation and value of a color as is evident from the activity we did.This is of immense use to create effective images and pictures.

We were asked to download a software called Second life which is a 3D virtual space where you can have an interesting experience.Further we were asked to create an object , for which instructions were given which made it easy.I went to' build' and 'create tool'  and chose an object 'a cylinder' and selected a name for it.I added texture and glow to it.I also manged to change the clothes of the person supposed to be representing me.I could move ,rotate and stretch the object. 

In the second picture ,I stretched it and added a texture to it.Second life is an interesting concept and a great learning tool.
