Task 1 (P1, P3, P4, P5)
Carlisle College Computing Logo
The Carlisle College Computing logo was done through adobe software, which
used multiple layers and different tools to have a final image. The actual
image is to integrate the colleges logo with the colleges hardware
manufacturers, so more people recognize them both.
The edit was done through four layers (the bubbles/the border and red
areas/the radeon and amd logo/the Carlisle college logo). The first logo is the
base and wasnt touched, except for the greyscale, then the next three were
opaque, the closer to the top the more opaque and transparent they get. This
way the four layers fit well together and you cant see the edges of each leyer
and erased area.
The tools that were used include the erase tool, the selection tool, the layers
order and layers opacity. The final render was done with minimal compression
and the highest quality per each individual object.

Task 1 (P1, P3, P4, P5)
Grow the game flyer
The game flyer was done through photo editing software, which was done in a unique
style because it was sketched in photoshop. Another transparent layer was added
above the re-organized poster, then drew over it with a custom brush, this then gave it a
unique and artistic style, and not like a standard photo.
The left of the image was selected and flipped horizontally to remove the text box which
was there previously, the style applied earlier was then applied to this half.
Other work which was done on this image was the logos at the bottom were re-organized
and re-sized, and the text was done through text with added in pixels from the standard
brush.
The final image was rendered at a uncompressed size, because its not being used on
the web, and the quality was also render at a very high quality, so the full detail can be
seen. Along with this the color depth was assigned at the standard 256bit.

Task 1 (P1, P3, P4, P5)
Clone Flower, Ships
The cloning task was very difficult because it involved using stamps and
reference points, but it was still achieved, the stamps were used by assigning a
fixed reference point then painting at another location, so you could manipulate
objects and clone them without noticing.
In this image, the twigs and braches were removed and replaced with clouds
and sky, then a small sharpen filter was applied to the sky so you couldnt see
where the edit has taken place. The submarine and the missile were both done
separately in other documents, the copied over this image, after pasting it the
blur tool and smudge tool could manipulate the speed of the missile along with
the size of the submarine.
This image was finished at the same size as the starting image, with the same
resolution and quality, along with this, there wasn't any compression.

Task 1 (P1, P3, P4, P5)
Teeth
The teeth were done through selecting the rea of the color affected area in the image (top
left), and then individually adjusting the gamma and brightness. Along with this, the color
was tinted blue to give them a more natural look.
Apart from that though, the edges of the teeth were blurred slightly with the blur tool, this
was to remove the yellow edges form the old teeth. You can also tell the way that is was
done because the area around the teeth is a higher contrast and a higher brighteness.

Task 1 (P1, P3, P4, P5)
Game Cover
The game cover that was
designed, was grand theft auto 6,
which uses old parts of the grand
theft auto 5 cover, but with a few
adjustments, like the esrb rating,
the description and the images.
The cover was done by outlining a
custom cover above a new layer,
then styling it into a cartoon style,
then a filter was applied for depth
and noise.
The resolution has to be limited to
the box covers resolution and size
though.

Task 1 (P1, P3, P4, P5)
Film Poster
The poster for a new sci-fi film
was done through editing the
original Shawn of the dead
poster, the logo was outlined and
painted over, then a drop shadow
was added.
All of the other props were done
through adding transparency and
a new layer, like the planet and
the vehicles in the bottom right.
Then the sequel text (2) was
done through illustrator with a
custom font, then the same effect
was applied as the logo so it
mached.

The Minecraft style game was made form an edited
screenshot of a current game and then pixilated with a
custom title, this would be used as an ad to publicize the
game and its graphics style.
The image also has an edited space background image to
then show the space aspect to the whole game.

Pass 3, 4, 5, Merit 2 and Distinction 2
The color popping and greyscale was done in
Photoshop, by creating two different layers and then
applying the greyscale to one of them, this way the
background was greyed out and it would add extra
contrast to the rest of the image.
The main character which has the color popping effect,
along with this the color a=was enhanced and the
brightness was increased.
Task 1 (P1, P3, P4, P5)
Other Misc Tasks
The clipping layer fot his logo, was done through making
a background imaged based off the game ad then
applying some text above it, after this the clipping layer
gave it a good final effect.
The Carlisle college logo was done through editing a second layer on top of
the original image, this then gave a good effect of it being drawn or painted
instead of just produced in photoshop.

Task 2 (M2)
The resolution that was used in the majority of the images are above 1200 x 700 at 720p,
this was to ensure that when the images were viewed the full detail is shown and more
content can be seen, this was preferable because if there was a smaller resolution than it
would be too difficult to distinguish different objects or different text.
The color depth was at least 256 throughout the whole assignment, this was to prevent
the use of a low amount of colors, if an images had been done with a lower color depth,
than it wouldnt match the quality of the other items on the display (like the start screen,
interface or taskbar)
The file format that was selected was also quite important because it had to be imported
into the blogger program and the PowerPoint software, in the majority of cases, this file
format was either png or jpg, depending on the scaling requirements to fit on the page.
Compression was used throughout the entire task, because by default abode Photoshop,
adobe fireworks and adobe illustrator use a high-end compression to keep the file size
smaller and therefore having slower loading times, slower loading for images and
resources and more, the compression couldve been better by the reducing the image
quality and color rate while staying above the requirements Ive set above.
