Assignment: (Only use two colors)
The Assignment for this week revolved around color. In class we talked about different ways to describe color, such as: Hue, Saturation, Value, Primary, Complimentary. We also talked about the color wheel and the difference between warm and cold colors. So this week we had to make our whole comic only using two colors.
Craft: (How did we do it?)
The first step was to make the background layer a normal layer. Then, make a new layer with a really dark color. Next, we had to multiply the photo in order for the color to be seen in the photo. The last step was to make a sandwich of layers, top-photo / middle-color layers / bottom-dark universal color layer. In order to change the colors of all our pictures we first had to make layers for each color we were going to use. Each picture had a different amount of layers because each photo had different areas to color. Then, we could use the brush and eraser tool to color the picture.
Composition: (Arrangement of elements)
In order to effectively accomplish this assignment, we had to use one color as the background and foreground and the other color as a marker for important content. We chose to use purple as the background and foreground color because it was dark and would make the other color pop. The second color we chose was yellow. Yellow worked very well because it is high contrast to purple. By using these two colors effectively, we were able to make the people and important objects stand out from the rest of the photos.
Concept: (What are we trying to say?)
These photographs are meant to convey a steady progression of events leading to a humorous final scene. This final scene is meant to come as a surprise to the audience. The progression of events depict a not to out of the ordinary situation, but once the final scene is viewed, there is a sense of comedy as well as seriousness and a bit of grossness.
craft (how it was made)
ReplyDeleteThis was a group project between Zach and James. They had to create a comic. The both of them had to come together adn brainstorm and have several rough drafts of this comic.They had to take pictures of places and people. They used photoshop and comic life to accomplish this project. They had to photoshop people in different places.
Composition (how it was arranged)
They started with a great title page that captures peoples attention. They had two great color purple and yellow. The colors helped to give importance to certain things in the image. I think they had great organization. They did a great photoshop work and was very clean. The comic was easy to read and had great dialogue.
Concept (what it is about)
The concept of this comic was to have someone waiting, someone with a gift and I think they had a great idea in doing this. They made the comic about a couple who are in a relation ship. The boy is waiting for the girl, then he has a surprise for her. The surpise is not all that great since it's syphilis. The comic is easy to understand.
