LO2 Capturing Images: Capture & digitise from an analogue source

First I used a scanner to acquire a digital image of a Thank You card's design.
I then rotated it in Photoshop and manipulated the image.
The image was cropped, then a photo filter with no luminosity was applied.
The image was then cropped further and the RGB levels were altered.
I then applied the blur tool to some of the letters and leaf designs in the image.

Before saving I embedded my property rights into the image as a form of image protection. Then I embedded a digital watermark as well.

Portfolio Work Raster Pt1.4 - Personal Label

Just thought I'd experiment with the photoshop brushes for a change. :) Really like how you can change the size of the brushes too and how some of them are semi-transparent. Can't wait to get more brushes to play with!

Portfolio Work Raster Pt1.3 - Teddy's t-shirt

Boo...! It's smaller than I would have liked but this is my image (ahem doodle) for the teddy bear's tshirt. It's as cute as I could manage lol. I usually do this technique in Paint Shop Pro but PS behaves differently so I used layers instead and found it was quite easy still to do it. Perhaps even tidier feeling. I'm glad with the way it turned out.

Portfolio Work Raster Pt1.2 - Winter Festival Card

Umm argh? :P I really enjoy doing this stuff but I feel like I'm being slow and falling behind :( Tried to do some at home but my Photoshop is being rubbish and is missing the animation window among other things. I can't create exact ppi's and other stuff either. How hard is it to make 16bit? So I thinks I need a new version of PS!! Also - anyone noticed that none of the Adobe CS3 web suite is installed in the IT Centre? How are we supposed to do work outside of class on Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash or PS? Oh and wanna know something more stupid? - The IT Centre doesn't have Flash plug-ins installed either. If they don't want people looking at flash games and stuff just block the sites!

So here's the start of my Portfolio work - image for a Winter Festival card :DI tried it in greyscale, without any fills and with pastel colours but this looked best using the correct colours. On to the next! :D

Halo nameplate

Just been messing about. I like Halo & RVB so here's a nameplate for me:



The img is (c) to me (I drew it & then altered it in photoshop).
