We had to make a video in WeVideo based on Utopia. My concept is how we all have to drudge through the rubbish that is everyday life to find our Utopia. I showed the lecturer and was informed of a whole new thing called Glitch Art which I am now facinated in. This video is not the finished project and is only 2.5 minutes long

I bought a Photoshop magazine and it came with tutorials that you could do if you went online and downloaded images. I brought these images into Photoshop and using the cut tool , selection tool and the blur tool and a noise filter I was able to recreate the image

I drew an image of a milk carton and duplicated it in Photoshop, I then added an image of an udder that I cut out along with the plaster from previous images. I felt this really portrayed the dairy industry and our cruelty towards this animal for their milk that we are not even supposed to be drinking.

Going back to what I said earlier about Iron Fist. This was one such image I found on Google. Unfortunately the Print Screen button is broken on my computer so I could not screen print the actual programme scenes as I watched.

I found it very difficult to cut the line drawing I had scanned in -from my art pad- out in Photoshop. It is a very tricky line to be working with. The magic selection tool wont select it all the mask tools dont work with it , and when you select as much as you can to change it from black to white is another story as the paintbucket tool will only fill small pixel size portions. Very tedious work. This is the best I could get so far, and even when I thought it was white and dragged it into a new Photoshop document to place in my poster it turned back to black again. Still working on it :)

I found when I placed the name of the exhibition Peann Le Par which is Irish for Pen to Paper on the tyre in Photoshop it was not easily readable so I moved it around to see where it would fit aesthetically

You must be careful what fonts you use when you want to portray an image . I didnt think this one suited my name as much. It was a bit gladiator. Maybe for another exhibition !

I was watching Marvels Iron Fist one day and I noticed the colours for some of the scenes were very vibrant . I put it down to the set director trying to create certain moods for certain scenes . I remembered a You Tube video I previously watched where I was shown if I turn a picture into mosaic tiles then I would have colour swatches to work with.When I then went researcing the Iron Fist st design I came across this write up(below) where they talk about the new type camera format they use on the set.. HDR .

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hollywood cinematographer Manuel Billeter hovers over a TV monitor a few feet away from the set of Netflix's upcoming Iron Fist series, looking for small objects in the shot that might catch the camera's eye.

After a take, he sends someone over to repainta metal flap hanging off the side of a wall. Seconds before, protagonist Daniel Rand (played by Finn Jones) jumped over the wall to hide from villains.

While the flap wouldn't need a touch up on most sets, the Iron Fist crew is filming with new high-dynamic range technology. Without the fix, it would have glistened on screen just likeif you were standing in front of it in real life, potentially distracting from the action.

Netflix is one of the first entertainment companies to incorporate HDR both on set and in the cutting room.

The HDR format allows viewers at home to see shows with richer, brighter colors at a significantly larger contrast than what's possible in high definition or 4K. The lightest pixels in HDR are 40 times brighter than standard definition.

Throughout most of the fall, Netflix has been filming Iron Fist in New York City -- marking the fourth and final installment of its Marvel series (following Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage). Together, the collection makes up "The Defenders," similar to "The Avengers" of film.

The latest series, due out in March 2017, follows a young man with a mythical fist capable of enormous strength.

Working with HDR

"I didn't know too much about HDR before working on Iron Fist, and it's been a learning curve," said Billeter, director of photography for Iron Fist.

"We've had to look at how Iron Fist will appear in the living rooms of consumers with HDR TV monitors," he said. "For those who don't own one, nothing changes. But the post-production process has been more intensive as we figure out a way to make it look the best in both worlds."

While few consumers currently use HDR-capable TVs, the technology is widely expected to hit the mainstream in the next few years.

With this in mind, Billeter has had to change the way he envisions scenes on set, considering everything from cityscapes peeking through windows to the clouds in the sky.

"HDR displays everything much brighter than regular standard resolution monitors, and sometimes objects in scenes need to be toned down because they are too harsh," Billeter added. "If you have a car light in a scene with HDR, it really feels like there is a car light in your living room. It's that bright."

For Iron Fist, shot mostly outside at night, these types of car and street lights were the biggest challenges.

"Lights have almost become like characters in HDR," he said. "Sometimes we have to paint things to bring down the highlights."

The move to embrace HDR follows Netflix's push into 4K several years ago when it was one of the early adopters of the technology.

Behind the scenes, the camera doesn't do anything different to capture scenes in HDR. The technical adjustments are added later during the post-production process. This means it's best suited -- for now -- for companies like Netflix that have longer lead times for production.

"When you don't have to worry about ratings, you can approach it in a slightly slower, more careful and affectionate way," said Iron Fis t showrunner Scott Buck. "You get to tell a story that feels more like a novel, opposed to thinking about what to do today to keep it moving."

Because Netflix puts out its full series at once, ratings don't factor into the development process.

"Series live and die by ratings, but with Netflix, that's not the situation, so it creates a more relaxed atmosphere where everyone is on the same team," Buck said.

While Iron Fist is among the first Marvel series to be filmed with HDR in mind, Netflix has since reformatted both seasons of Daredevil with the technology, as well as Marco Polo and Chef's Table France. To do so, it worked closely with post-production facilities like Deluxe, which has already mastered close to 100 titles in HDR.

Tony D'Amore, a colorist at Deluxe's Encore, said each remastered episode preserves the intent of the original. Instead of bringing out the brightness HDR is known for, D'Amore focused on emphasizing details that weren't picked up in standard definition. For example, viewers can now see the specific color of glass in a scene or the details of brick buildings in the background.

Deluxe is also working with Iron Fist during the post-production stage to adjust colors the team didn't have time to tweak on set.

While Netflix has been mum on plotlines for Iron Fist, Buck teased what to expect from the upcoming series.

"I thought his superpowers weren't that impressive when I first learned about the character -- all he could do was punch really hard," Buck said. "But I realized that... his greatest gift is his martial arts skills -- it's something he learned by training day and night throughout his childhood."

Buck said the mythical aspect of the fist is something that lingers but isn't fully explored in the first season.

"We try to approach Danny Rand as a person to see life through his eyes," Buck said. "As for the fist, it's dealt with in the most realistic way possible."

Rather than treat his strength as a magic power, the team sat down with scientists to discuss how someone could potentially have that type of super strength in the real world.

Building on this, Netlix's Allie Goss, vice president of original series, said Iron Fist will be a character-driven story first and a superhero one second.

"We don't want to downplay abilities, powers or the fact that these characters are derived out of comics and graphic novels -- that is what is so special about them," she said. "But we wanted to explore characters beyond being superheros because that feels so generic, especially considering how deep they tend to be."

We were given a brief to create a poster for an exhibition we are imaginary holding! In real life the summer before I had started putting together an idea for a project. It started off with sketches I did on a bus while the bus was moving by holding the pen to paper and when I realised I could factor in helping the environment somehow I decided to use this to opportunity to make a poster for it. I thought I could help the environment by raising awareness to the big problem of illegal tyre dumping around Ireland.

This is a painting I came up with while practising the pen tool and using the paint bucket tool to fill in the shapes that were made. The only problem I found was that the marching ants seemed to stay there when I press ctrl D- which is meant to get rid of any trace of them in the picture. But I liked the effect they made so left them.

You can change ANY picture you have into an oil painting. When this is open in Photoshop there are different variations and depths of oil and brush strokes that you only have to slide a bar up and down to change.

Pointilise is a painting technique that artists use to paint a picture using different tones dotted next to each other so the viewer can fill in the other dots themselves but the picture is also clear to see. Here is a Photoshop version of that :) Happy days !!

This one is my favourite as you can use it on any image you like and it will turn the colours into pixels so you can make colour swatches in Photoshop.

This one I was delighted to come across because I was able to see how other digital artists would use this effect to make something look new or spiritual.

I came across this airport in a documentry about colour theory. Cathy Pacific hired one of the best colour analyst's in to redecorate their first class lounge. They wanted a space where clients can be comfortable as well as do business as that is what most do when coming through lounges.

I found when you stretch the image in the mosaic option you lose alot of important colours that you might want to work with if you are being specific as it just blends into the over all colours in use, so you need to keep the swatches multiple.
