Assignment 1

    In the lecture class, we learn about difference between traditional photography and digital photography. Traditional photography involves light reacting with silver halides on film to produce an image. Digital photography involves converting the various wavelengths of light into a code of 0's and 1's, which is then converted by a computer into an image. Traditional photography requires a chemical process to process the film and produce the image, while digital photography requires a computer and the right software to produce the image. Traditional photography produces clearer images that can be blown up with less image degradation, but digital photography is closing that gap. Traditional photographs discolor, fade, and degrade over time, but digital photographs can be preserved with their original image quality forever.

 The tutorial class of this week was a consultation session. We sketch our ideas and show madam. For me, i decided to do a CAT WOMEN.

WEEK 1

    The first class of SEM 2 computer graphic, was taken by Madam Ling. At the first lecture,  Madam Ling briefed us about the course outline. this sem we will be touching a lot of adobe photoshop. I'm excited about that so much because i have heard about photoshop a lot but now is the chance to know deeper. 

TEXTURE 

  Actually we had learn this from the VRC class, so its more easier for me to catch up. But there is slightly different with the vrc because the texture in Computer graphic is you have to feel the texture with your eyes instead of your hand. Other than this there are almost the same. It give into 4 different kind of texture:

1. Actual Texture 
2. Invented Texture
3. Abstract Texture
4. Stimulated texture

  On the lecture class, we had went to the outside to find some texture and paste them on a hard paper place them into a composition creatively like what Picasso have done. 

This is how it looks like.

The next day, we been told to trace them into illustrator. 

The first trace

  It looks terrible...

After few days i found that madam had given us some tutorial link about how to create texture. And i try to log on those website, it really helps a lot !!!! Here is the link:

• Colour

• Size

• Contrast

• Line & Spacing

 These picture are the examples that my group member and I had found from the magazine.

  This is the final with the wall I have took. The wall is took with a window, and Im thinking like transform the window to be like a phone screen. After improved the sketch was a little bit different with the first sketch.

The final Mural sketch 

COLOUR...

  Since Form 4 i knew that there are RGB and CMYK in the colour mode, but i did not know what are the different. Finally i got to know what are they in the lecture this week. CMYK represents the standard coloured inks that printers use to create Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. 

  RGB colour is used for digital communications, like television or websites and CMYK is used for stuff made for print, like brochures. After studied the lecture, we group to a small group again to create our own colour scheme. 

our own colour scheme 

  
  The next day in the tutorial class, madam want us to use the colour scheme that we had created yesterday and colour the shape that we had cut last week. 

Shape composition

  

This is the result

  In illustrator, I learn how to use grid to help us keep the composition balance. It really do help. While using pen tool , i feel like Im getting more familiar to it. I also learn how to use reflect tool in illustrator to reflect those same shape.

Its very satisfied when you seeing your masterpiece come out. Really enjoy the feeling. ^^

LINE is not just a LINE

       

    Poem of our group

  Today Madam Ling taught us about a LINE. She want us to made a poem creatively about Lines and Dots. After the poem , we were be asked by madam to group a group again to draw a drawing with DOTS and form those dots into a creative composition.

  After a long discussion, my group members and I thinking like simple is always the nicer one so we decide to draw dots to form an apple, But at last madam said this is not creative enough. T__T
