It’s not very original, but I created a table with some tea and a dougnut on it.
Autodesk 3DS
We have started to use a program called Autodesk 3DS, which can be used to create 3D shapes. We began by just creating some simple 3D shapes and then manipulating them to create letters. Hopefully after some more practice, I will be able to create more complex models and add textures.
Alternative poster design
I came up with a different, more minimalist poster design that was inspired by some superhero posters I found on the internet.
My new design is on the left and the images on the right are some of the designs that inspired the new look.
Superhero poster
This is my poster design so far. I am pretty happy with it but it may be subject to change.
Superhero finished
My basic superhero character is now finished, ready to be put into a poster.
Superhero progress
I have started using the pen tool to add shapes of block colour to my superhero sketch.
Superhero concept sketch
I have scanned in my sketch of my superhero. I will now use the pen tool to add layers of block colour so that it looks more like a cartoon drawing.
Superhero Pose
We photographed Christina in a superhero-like pose, made it grayscale and semi-transparent in photoshop and printed it off to use as a template for our superhero designs.

Animated music video
Our latest project was to create a music video for a song of our choice, using the animation features on Photoshop. I based my music video around ‘Still Alive’ from the Portal soundtrack. So far I have added some images and a few of the lyrics, although I have yet to add the music so that I can get the timing right. The images are from the game Portal, which I have then drawn and coloured over to give them a flatter, more cartoon-like texture.
