Actions - practice

I used my portrait to create an action. Sadly I can;t save it because I don't own an external drive of any sort, but I'll sttempt to describe it here.

Before:

After:



Steps were:

1. Change levels: I dragged the grey and white arrows to about the middle of the little level diagram thing.

2. change to greyscale

3. change to duotone

4. first colour: stayed at default

5. second colour: Pantone 2965C

6. Changed filter to the diagonal strokes

7. played with settings and levels in filter until it looked good.

Pantone 2965C's colour is generally called Prussian Blue. :)

Long Term Assignment - 12 page booklet

For this assignment, I would like to put my interests in history, language, and travel to work, and centre the theme of this booklet around multiculturalism and countries. I plan to incorporate as much from other cultures as possible, mostly using things such as flags, phrases in other languages, and art consisting of perhaps other countries' traditions and clothing. With this booklet, I'd also like to try and promote acceptance between all people and places. :D

Develop the idea / mood
Using colour, texture, patterns, lines and brushes

2. Determine the mood of colours dark /light, bright/subdue etc.
3. Lines determine sight lines – static dynamic
4. Textures, patterns, brushes help to create rhythm

collect and select notes

Why did I not post these earlier? ~A~

1. Open mind – it means that you do not edit.
2. More is better – more images
3. It may not fit my idea – does not matter.
4. Do not worry about file size.

My Issue

My issue for this assignment is the Reestablishment of Prussia. I don't really have a lot of reason why, other than I want to see Prussia as an existing power on the globe in my lifetime... DON'T SHOOT ME LOL There really isn't much to find on the internet about Prussia... in fact, there's not even much to read about it. It makes me sad that a country with so much history just kind of dissappeared one day after WW2 (February 15, 1947 to be exact), so I want to bring it back. Too bad there's to freakishly little information about the country...

( I had a picture here but it broke... D: )

also my link list doesn't wanna add anything so I'll put the links here for you:

WHOAH BEHIND

OKAY SO YEAH I KNOW I'M BEHIND I'M GONNA GET EVERYTHING UP THIS WEEKEND I SWEAR D:

Whee Questions~~

1) Previous Experience

-I've been using paint since... forever, really. I've also used quite a but of Fireworks and Dreamweaver for other school courses.
- I don't have an previous projects to show. :c

2) Areas of Interest

- I haven't used many programs so I'm not sure which ones I like best. I'm open to learning pretty much anything, though. ^^
- I really want to learn how to colour sketches on the computer, like with Photoshop and such. I'd also like to learn photo retouching.

3) Interests

- I like to draw anime/Japanese animation style art. I stopped drawing from grade 6- grade 9 thoughbecause people were bullying me for it. I only started again at the beginning of this school year, and have already filled two sketchbooks.
- Birds. I have two as pets and I wouldn't give them up for the world. I also enjoy watching wild ones go about their daily buisness. It's quite amusing. ^_^
- Plants/nature. It's just so pretty. :3 I like to take pictures of trees and such to use as backrounds on my cellphone, computer, etc. Namely cherry blossoms, orchids, and maple leaves.
- Asian ball-jointed dolls. They're made of resin and come from either Korea, China, or Japan. I find is relaxing to set up photoshoots or make new clothes for them, however many peopel think they're rather creepy. ^^
- Music. Mostly foriegn. European and Asian pop. For some reason the popular stuff in North America tends to annoy me. :P
- Sports. - Does DDR count...? :/ I'd rather play videogames. None of those shooting games or anything though. I like cute things. Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon...
- Language. It's my goal to be able to speak as many languages as possible. I've taken French and Japanese at school, and at home Im using the internet to learn Swedish, Lithuanian, Old Prussian, and Russian. I'm taking Italian and German next year in school.

WHOO THAT WAS LONGER THAN I MEANT. SORRY. D:
