Visual Pun's

Today we made some visual pun's on Photoshop, I chose the word "batman" and made this picture.

Digital Pitch - basic design

This is a basic design of the drawn version of my pitch, the next step is to improve it using Illustrator

Today we learn't a bit about the pen tool, we cut out things from the image and then put them back into the photo at different sizes and locations.

This Wednesday with Dave we worked on layers, firstly Dave gave us 4 photos and we had to make a similar image to the one he showed us. After that we were able to make whatever we wanted, I chose to make one with my favorite action movie characters, crashes and so on. The colour photo was made up of lots of natural pictures of the internet such as waves, fire, forests, lightning etc.

Main research: Extra

The main idea I have is for the packet to be different, many of the flaws I noticed with the current cardboard packet can be overcome by using an aluminium packet. I noticed this when I looked at this JB-HI-FI gift card holder I was given over Christmas. It uses a sliding rail type design to slide open and closed and a bump in one of the pieces stop the two parts for moving apart. However this is overcome with a slight bit of force when pushing the two pieces in different directions. This packet holds the card well, is much stronger than cardboard but is also still very light. The case opens easily and also holds in place quiet well. There is also enough room for 14 pieces of gum, and unlike the extra packet it does not have the foil thing in the bottom that has proven to be quiet inconvenient when the pieces stick to it. I will upload photo's of the tin later

Pro’s of an alloy tin
- Water proof
- Durable
- Collectable
- Doesn't break apart/tear/bend
- Holds the same amount
- More user friendly
- Recyclable
- Can be re-used

These are some of the photo's we edited this week with Dave, we used the "clone stamp tool", "spot healing brush" and a little bit of the "history brush tool"
