Color “Music Lover,” or your own approved illustration, using the technique(s) reviewed in class. Be sure to include highlights as well as shading. You’re also welcome to add a background or additional elements. Honestly, just have fun with it.
How do you hand it in? Via your “GRD 107 Flickr Pool” of course. Which many of you didn’t even know about until now! -For shame.
HANDING IT IN:
We’ll be learning to color lineart this week. As usual, I’ll walk you through a few techniques for coloring lineart and then let you loose to color on your own. What will you be coloring for your homework? An illustration I provide. However, this announcement is specifically for illustrators. Got a personal illustration you’d like to color for the assignment -instead of the illustration provided? -Good. You can use your own work. All you have to do is bring the image to class so I can approve it. A sketch, pen ‘n ink, original or scan will suffice. Obviously the image has to be black ‘n white.
The snow day off-set things a bit. So here’s a summary of due dates to help you (and me).
Wednesday / 1:30 – 5:05 class
> Homework #5 “SFX Composite” due by: Wednesday, Feb 24
> Homework #6 “Actions file” -Not yet assignment
Thursday / 1:30 – 5:05 class
> Homework #5 “SFX Composite” due by: Completed on Feb 18
> Homework #6 “Actions file” due by: Thursday, Feb 25
Create an “Action” of the “Color Correction” process we reviewed in class. Ultimately you’ll have a single Action that automates the steps. By “steps” I mean a user of this action will be able to:
Keep in mind that the end results produces a color correction process that works on any image, it doesn’t leave any extra Layers, and leaves the markers behind for later use.
The final product should be a “.atn” attachment. As always, email me the results in advance of our next class.
REMINDER:
This exercise is the same as last weeks…only different. Again, utilize the images captured from both groups and create a composite using the Layer Masking techniques reviewed. Additional special effects are welcomed -even encouraged considering your goal is to suspend belief. Once complete you’ll need to…
Relax, collaborate, and try to create something you’d share with someone outside of class.
Take the images and composite them into one document utilizing Layer Masking. Once complete you will have a single image featuring multiple versions of the same individual performing various antics. Now for some tips:
Once complete you should:
Nippon Delivery
Alter a minimum of the truck’s lower half (teal?) to whatever color you like while preserving the markings. Be my guest if you’d like to pimp the rest of the vehicle out (e.g. “new rims,” “chrome accessories,” etc). Also feel free to alter the background.
Blouse
Alter it from it’s current “mustard” color to PANTONE Solid Coated 5565 C.
Sage Top
-You guessed it. Alter the top to whatever color or pattern you see fit -while obviously deviating from the current “mustard” color. Only alter the top. Nothing else.
Once complete, email me a .jpg in advance of the next class.
This assignment, your first real one, has two options. Select one from below. The goal is to apply the tools and/or features we discussed in class in a creative way.
Option #1
Select one of the images from the “class 02_homework” folder within the “workarea,” alter it using the tools and/or features we experimented with in class, and email me the results based on the “hand-in” specifications below.
Option #2
Take a picture of yourself with a digital camera, alter it using the tools and/or features we experimented with in class, and email me the results based on the “hand-in” specifications below.
Hand-In Specifications
You’ll be emailing me your results -just like the last assignment. But first, you’ll need to resize the image. First insure the image is 72 dpi and set its largest dimension, whether width or height, to 800 pixels. File format? Make sure it’s a .jpg please. Here’s a brief outline:
That’s it. Questions? Add them to the “comments” area here. Otherwise, go have fun now.
