Monday-
On monday we used our vectored alphabet to create titles of the Super Symmetry on photoshop for our posters we had to make a variety of titles and arranges so the poster would not look dull and unlikeful. As we were doingthis some of the group who missed taking photos last week went out and took photo’s.

Tuesday-
On tuesday we were carrying on with our research and drawings for our bugs ceramics projest and in the afternoon half the group did some Monoprinting( Thick ink on glass having a image traced into a piece of paper) and the other half of the group was just either drawing or carrying on with their research.

Thursday-
On thursday we did research from books and then we just went into the library and carried on with the research for tuesdays which we do on tuesdays 😛 😉 🙂 😀  this is a image i will probably use for tuesdays leason to help me get different aspects of a insects body to use for different parts of a ceramics piece.

October 4th-8th

Monday:

 On monday afternoon we went outside off college and we had to walk around stockport and take pictures of eithers signs or shop names and the task was to get as many pictures so we could edit them in Illustrator and get 1 of each letter of the alphabet.  The cameras we used were a Cannon. This session of using the camera’s was fun because we just had fun taking pictures of random signs and names.

Example of these pictures from Flickr:

Last week

Monday  27/09/10

Afternoon:   In the afternoon we used Photoshop and illustrator both of which are made by Adobe illustrator is mainly used for drawing to sharpen them we went into file and place to insert a logo of a club we liked to use Live trace so the drawing will not get pixelated when we stretch it. When we did that the picture changed from a Jpeg to a Vector which is just a more mathematical look at the picture. After which we can stretch the image which will not pixelate.

Photoshop:  Photoshop is to make picture be modivied such as on pictures of people you can warp certain areas of the picture to make it look more funny or more clean and sharp. In photoshop we imported the pictures from illustrator to make our poster and on photoshop we added text and different effects towards the poster to make it look more suffisticated. We did this by going to file and place and inserted our poster and started editing such as using the tool move and using the layout section in our panels.

Tuesday 28/09/10

Morning: We manipulated different types of ceramics to cross them with parts of animal parts  Eg: cricket legs holding a pot upwards. We did this all day we mainly were doing this as a brainstorm to get some ideas to actually make the piece of ceramics.

Thursday 30/09/10

Morning: We went into the library  as usual and we went onto the laptops to either look up 5 different Multi media artists or we were printing off our essays we were given when we went to the liverpool tate. We looked for artists on google and we had to write about the artist himself/ herself which is going to be used this week on either tuesday or thursday with Sophie.
