Crop and Change

Another simple task I had to do, but its more of an example. This task is for one of my tutors to show that I can do cropping and other various things. I also needed to show the details of each picture, like the file size and name.


File Name: yellowflower.00
Image Size: 2304x3456
File Size: 1.65MB
What I did to it: Nothing, this is the original image.

File Name: yellowflower.04
Image Size: 2304x3456
File Size: 1.52MB
What I did to it: I added a halftone effect to it, along with a motion blur, and some greyscale.

File Name: yellowflower.03
Image Size: 1746x1746
File Size: 896 KB
What I did to it: I cropped it to make it look more appealing and it looks like it stands out, almost something you may see used for a poster perhaps.

ITQ Newsletter

This is a newsletter I had to do as some form of learning on how to layout newsletters appropriately, with the right fonts, sizes, and images. You may have notcied that the text is a bunch of gibberish, which it is, its just random text to fill in the void of the newsletter. I needed to do two pages of it and I found it easy to do despite some errors on fonts and sizes (which are now fixed).

Logos

I had to do some logos of different things around the college, mainly subjects like sports, art & design, hair & beauty etc (eg, the pic above this paragraph). As I was lucky enough to know how to draw most things for over a decade, this task was really fun for me! Here's all the rest of the pics I had done:

You must be asking where I drawn all of these pictures... well, I drew them all in Serif DrawPlus X2. Also, all these pictures were drawn by mouse, and not a tablet pen (which I tend use more for digital artwork).

The software was surprisingly easy to use, despite not using a mouse for digital artwork for quite a number of years now so I'm proud of how it all turned out. I wonder if these'll be put up around the college? Haha, I have my doubts but it could be possible, along with other peoples logos.
