9) Cables

Selected the cable and copied it into a new layer. Duplicated this layer a few times, and moved them all using rotate, perspective and move. Changed the hue and lightness on them, made the background black and white. Saved for web and devices, and made blurred slightly.

8) Plasma Globe

Duplicated layer, used magic wand to select just the globe , added a filter to it, reduced the opacity, and added in shapes at the side. reduced their opacity, then saved image for web and devices, and in there I increased the blur then saved as jpeg.

7) Lightning

Duplicated layer 1 and added a filter to it. Used the smudge tool. Added in 2 lens flares. Added in star shapes and on the biggest star added an effect to it. Used eraser to erase the lightning bolt in layer 1 so you could see layer 2 which is underneath it.

6) Powerstation.

For this I used the perspective tool, then resized the canvas to give a panorama effect. (think thats what you call it..? :s ) Used flip horizontal.

Then changed the levels so the brightness was at the right side, and blurred the left side to make this stand out more. Copied and pasted a bit of the image and added it onto the end of the right side then used clone tool to disguise this..!

Got heaps of different versions of this plug/socket ...but i decided to stick with this one as it looks best.

First of all I used burn and dodge tools on the plug and the side of the socket. Then i used the cutout filter. I then imported the layer from a previous attempt, which was the plug and wire, but changed the effect of them. I added in a rectangular box(just the outline) and used an effect to create the outline for the socket.

Also used skew to fix the shape of the image and make it straighter than it was.

For this image I first used the magic wand tool in Photoshop to select the guitar, copied and pasted into a new layer. I then duplicated this layer twice and moved the guitars apart from each other.

For the background i used the Sumi-e filter and then put the opacity down. Copied the background layer and pasted it into a new layer called background1, and then went to the original Background and made it white.

Used hue, saturation and contrast on the guitars, and used the smudge tool on the green guitar.

Im quite pleased with the result.

Portfolio Vector Graphics :: Trace a Bitmap. . .

For this I used 4) "Lightbulb.jpg".

I opened the file in Adobe Illustrator, selected the image then clicked on
Object > Live Trace >Tracing Options

Then selected "Comic Art" preset, and changed the Mode to colour, and the Max Colors to 200. Then clicked on trace and saved the image as .ai file then opened this file in Fireworks and used the sub selection tool to select different ares of the image, which shows it is a vector graphic.
Saved the file again in Fireworks in PNG format. Saved traced image as jpeg also.

Flash 2...

this actually happened, was running on the patio when we had a water fight and i slipped owwwww

TIFF files...

Found a quick way to download the Tiff files for the fashion website we are doing...
instead of clicking on the link and clicking on "Save", click on "open" where it will open in Photoshop and then go to Save for Web and Devices then save it as a jpeg high and reduce the size to whatever is suitable... Much quicker!!!

2)Pylon.

Edited in Photoshop.

Decided to make this brigh and vibrant just to see what effect it would give...
Added in lens flare filter behind the small pylon, which is a cpoy of the big one but then I used the scale tool to resize it. The "rainbow" bit was created by line tool to then joining each section together and filling it with a different colour and renaming each layer to what colour it is. Then I used the "web styles" style to give them the effect they have.

Used "levels" for the sky and the grass.

Traced the lines on the pylon using the "line" tool and then merged the layers together to create 1 layer, which I then added a "tuxedo" style to.

It reminds me of a Skittles advert somehow..... but im quite pleased with it :D

1st storyboard vector graphics

Used Flash to create this.
This animation is based on me and my sister... I didnt have time to spend adding in an extra person so just left it as it is..! The random bit in the middle of the animation is supposed to be scissors... my ace drawing skills...!


Found that if you export the movie while something is selected, it will show the selected bit in the exported file! Note to self.. make sure you de-select things first before exporting them..

Click on image to open the animation.

Raster Graphics 1)- Manipulated

1) Cables.

For this i created 3 layers. There was the background which I made blue, then I added the image on top and duplicated the layer so there was 2 images. For one layer I reduced the *opacity*, and changed the *filter* to "cutout". Then for the layer on top i just selected the wires with the "magic wand" and cropped it to just the wires, and left its colours etc the way they were.

This image ties in with the TEAM ELECTRICITY \m/ topic, and is it colourful aswell so could possibly be used on the website hmm...
