DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY & IMAGING - WEEK 13

 WEEK 13 (26/6/2023)

For this week there are no lectures and tutorial because Mr Fauzi wants us to focus on our Project 4: Self-Titled. I started creating my poster by using the elements I provided.

Elements

I went online to search for some pictures and some photos that I've taken in the past to use for my poster.

  

This is a photo I took at home using my phone. I set up a big background cloth for my photoshoot and find perfect lighting so it looks like a professional photoshoot. 

Me

Work-in-progress  

Firstly, I cut out my picture from the background by using the magic wand tool.

Then I imported the starry night sky and waterfall into the poster.

Figure 1.2 Starry Sky and Waterfall

I went to the adjustment layer to change the hue of the starry sky to a more blueish tone because the previous colour doesn't match with the elements. Then, I used the clone tool to morph the waterfall into my dress because I think it looked more interesting that way.

I also added some more elements into the poster. I added butterfly wings at my back so it'll make me look like a water fairy because of my waterfall dress. I also added deers and add a little glow effect on them by using the screen blend mode tool because I wanted to make them look like mystical creatures. I also added more fog to the waterfall.

Then I added a rainbow and some hot air balloons at the background because I thought it looked a bit plain and I wanted to make this poster look like a fantasy fairytale.

"Wings of Enchantment" Final Poster

WINGS OF ENCHANTMENT

This artwork is related to an imaginary fantasy world where I’m a fairy and there are natural elements incorporated into it with a meaning behind them. For instance, the waterfall symbolises the process of letting go negative thoughts and the hot air balloon symbolises freedom and taking the risk and opportunity that life has to offer.The message that wanted to be conveyed is that there is wonder around us and to never forget to embrace one’s imagination and creativity.
