Week6 POSTER DESIGN

Intro

The principles of design are the rules a designer must follow to create an effective and attractive composition.

The fundamental principles of design are: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement and White Space.


The 7 principles of poster design
1.EMPHASIS
example for principle of design emphasis: poster with violin guitar on stage
The fundamental principles of design are: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement and White Space.
2. Balance and alignment
The fundamental principles of design are: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement and White Space.
3. CONTRAST
example for principle of design contrast: black panther cat design

Contrast creates space and difference between elements in your design. Your background needs

to be significantly different from the color of your elements

so they work harmoniously together and are readable.


4.REPETITION
example for principle of design repetition: vertical numbers and text design
If only one thing on your band poster is in blue italic sans-serif, it can read like an error. If three things are in blue italic sans-serif, you’ve created a motif and are back in control of your design.
5.PROPORTION
example for principle of design proportion: vintage designed poker run poster
Proportion is the visual size and weight of elements in a composition and how they relate to each other. It often helps to approach your design in sections, instead of as a whole
6. PROPORTION
Movement creates the story or the narrative of your work.
7. WHITE SPACE
White space (or negative space) is the only one that specifically deals with what you don’t add. White space is exactly that— the empty page around the elements in your composition.

Week7 Double Exposure 

& Image Blending Mode

What Is Double Exposure Photography?

Turn your head to the right by Dan Mountford

Double exposure photography refers to merging multiple images. The goal is to make them surreal, emotional, or humorous. They usually feature silhouettes.

You don’t need a double exposure camera, as there are a few other ways you can create them.


1. Using the Tilt-Shift Effect

If you want to be extra creative, blur one of your photos instead of the entire image. Or blur everything except for one important detail.

To add this feature, go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift.


2. Create fake reflection

There are many ways you can create reflections. One of them is creating a double-exposure with the help of a separate window photo.


3. Experiment with simple portraits and
details textured

Atmospheric double-exposure image of a female model overlayed with textured raindrops
Combining something plain with something complicated will give you a balanced result. It will also save a lot of simple photos that you might discard.




4. Convert your results to Black & White

Black and white double exposure effect of flowers over a female model

It gives them a unique depth and allows you to experiment with something interesting just like  film photography.


5. Work with silhouette

double-exposure image of a male silhouette and a forest
It would give you a fun and doable challenge. And an opportunity to show very creative sides of yourself.
6. Pick two random photo

A random process doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful. Your results might create a story of their own, one that others will find encouraging.
7. Make simple objects look fascinating
Double-exposure images of a cityscape and starry sky

A silhouette of a dull-looking building could become the outline of a starry sky like the photo below.

This technique will enhance your imagination.


8. Use Shadow
Two images combined in one, using a male shadow and a mountain landscape
You can do anything your heart desires with outlines of this sort. All you have to do is go out, take photos of a few shadows, and turn them into something beautiful

PHOTOSHOP : Blend Modes

Working with blend modes is almost always an experimental process. Because it’s nearly impossible to predict the results, you always seem to end up experimenting with different modes and Fill Opacities until you get the results you’re looking for.

Blend Modes GroupsCommonly Used Blend Modes

A particular blending mode works really well on more difficult subjects like glass, smoke, fire and lightning.

Here’s a quick guide:

  1. Select the Layer 1 (Fire) to be on top of the Background (Musicians)

  2. Go to the Blending Modes option 

  3. Select “Screen”

  4. As a result, all of the pixels on the fire will be selected as Screen blending mode.

Week 9: 

DIGITAL SURREALISM

Realism Versus Surrealism





Surrealism 

Surrealism defies logic. Dreams and the workings of the subconscious mind inspire surrealistic art (French for "super-realism") filled with strange images and bizarre juxtapositions.




Capturing your Dream

1. Sketch It Out 

Take a piece of paper and pen/pencil or a tablet and start to sketch. Draw your vision out roughly. Don't finesse any details yet, but just lay out key points of your vision.



2. Find Reference Images


Gathering reference images will help you greatly in realizing your new idea. Gather images that directly relate to what you have in mind.

5.Reflections
When I see so many creative designs on the Internet, I will sincerely admire the designers.
 I refer to many photos to get my own feelings and works, 
learn the most important function of cutting mask in ps, 
and gradually get familiar with the function of selecting and covering. 
When two unrelated photos are pieced together, I think it is very interesting. After the work is done, 
I will have a sense of accomplishment
