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
