TUTORIAL

Lecture of the Day | POSTER DESIGN

The fundamental principles of design are: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement, and White Space which are shown below based on the order.

emphasis

balance

contrast

Contrast is how the design comes away from the page and sticks in your memory. 

Contrast creates space and differences between elements in a design. The background needs to be significantly different from the color of your elements so they all can work harmoniously together and are readable.

repetition

 Even with just two strong typefaces or three strong colors, there'll be a repetitive design which is a good aspect because it unifies and strengthens a design. 

For example, if only one element 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, the blue italic-serif becomes a motif and the designer is back in control of  the design.

proportion

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.

movement

Movement is the control in a composition. It leads the reader's eye to know the direction from one to the next element and makes sure the information is properly communicated to your audience. Movement creates the story or the narrative of your work.

White Space

White space (or negative space) is exactly that—the empty page around the elements in your composition. It often simply giving a composition more room to breathe can upgrade it from mediocre to successful.

Tutorial & Practical| DIGITAL IMAGING EXERCISE 02

In this tutorial, it teaches us to learn different ways to recolor pictures from black and white photos. Using all the materials learnt in the past 6 weeks, there are two variations to color black and white photos coming from the easy and advanced level.

EASY LEVEL | EXCERISE 02 PART 1

In this section, coloring the black and white photo is only using two simple steps. All to do is to add another layer, color the "area" using the brush tool and use blending modes ( overlay/ soft light) to produce the given color. 

This is an example of what's being done in the first part of exercise.Thisisthebeforeblendingoptionstoprovidecolorfortheselectedarea.To adjust the brush, press [ or ] for size and hardness that can be located in the menu bar.

This is how my first practical work look like after following the instructions from the tutorial.
