Photo Manipulation

This was originally a photo of a man and his son standing on a race track, I first attempted to use the 'spot healing tool' to edit them out of the photo but because of the size of them on the image it didn't work so I used to clone and stamp tool instead, and the results are below

this is the finished result of getting rid of the two people which left a slight mess in the middle but this wasn't really an issue as I was placing a car there.

this is the car I am going to place in the above image which and I selected the whole car by using the pen tool and then ctrl + right clicking and selecting 'make selection'

this is the car placed on to the first image after i blurred the edges to blend it in to the new photo.

I then played with the colours on the image to alter the car by using the 'hue/saturation' tool. It didn't work well because I had edited the photo previously with other tools.

This was the final image I ended up with.

Kristian Miller

As a designer I pride myself on being an innovative thinker, I have inspirations through my designs but they usually don’t lie with other graphic designers I am creative in my thinking through clothing, music and art I notice everywhere, I am always dipping into other sectors to look for a break through in graphic design. I previously worked for a graphic design company prior to being a university student this made me much more aware to the thought processes put in to design and the creative freedom I had to obtain to better myself. In all of my projects I like to always connect myself personally to it and learn a lot about what I’m working with so I can become very creative and passionate about the project.  my creative path consist of approaching each project in different ways, I always attempt the less likely possibilities which can sometimes work, this helps me keep my ideas new and fresh, by always insuring I have a personal attachment to each project I have developed a trademark of creativeness through my dedication to typography and clean designs, I also believe that with great creativity comes simplicity as I feel art should always be able to leave an instant impression!

“hi my names Kristian miller, I’m here today to talk to you all about the iPhone 4 and why I recommend as a university student that you buy one, now I don’t need to list to you the thousands of apps you can download but if I simply tell you that you can access your course materials through your phone, anywhere! I can tell I would already be making it so much easier for you, not only that you can sync your university calendar to your phone so any important days that you get through blackboard sync instantly to your phone!!

Having icloud or dropbox are also massively handy tools for importing and exporting files to and from a computer, aswell as these amazingly specific apps that can help you through university, since over the last 4 yours there has apple has only released the iphone and udated it 3 times you can be assured that they spend a lot of time perfecting it and making it reliable for each and every customer!! ”

Hattie’s Fashion Frenzee 

Harriet South is a university student studying Fashion at UWE and is hosting her first ever fashion show at ‘The Colston Hall’, she completely works freelance. She is a very creative person with a lot to offer anyone who enjoys exciting and original art! As she is still a student people will really question her experience in the fashion industry but this could possibly be the thing that sets her apart from anyone else and makes her so free spirited is that she doesn’t know a lot about how others work which can help her to create her very own unique style.

Her style of work is very unique she mixes a lot of different styles and expresses her creativeness a lot through colour and cultural styles, Harriet personally doesn’t agree with animal’s being used for fashion so she doesn’t involve any materials that are made by animals, she has upcoming events over the next couple months which will definitely be interesting as she gains experience in exhibitions her work will go from strength to strength.

100 Word Blog Entry

I’m talking about the effect that pop culture has on the young adults of today, I think that the culture of fashion has become that you need to dress a certain way to obtain social acceptance, fashion has been circulating over the past couple of years and it seems whatever celebrities wear becomes accepted and worn by people. Especially over the past year or so, the pop culture fashion has specifically targeted the 80’s era, which through particular artists it was a personal statement from being born late 80’s and raised in the 90’s there attempting to ‘bring 80’s fashion back’.
