Evaluation.

Computers in Art and Design has been the most exciting and most interesting brief of the year so far. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the digital technology in fashion and now have some knowledge of what it is all about. I feel that this brief has boosted my confidence to experiment with a wide range or medias, traditional and digital. Photoshop was completely new to me and I now feel confident in cleaning up images, and editing them to create different effects.













Another image taken from the CSM styling course I attended. Using the 'magic wand' tool in photoshop I selected an area of the first image creating the second image just to experiment. I then decided to use this method and I repeated what I did, this time using a smaller section of the image. I then created a new layer and selected another area and pasted it over the top, using the paint filler and decreasing the opacity i then added to colour into my new section. I then repeated this a couple of times and simply placed the images on top of one another. Finally i added some font in and changed the effects on some of the words.
I am very pleased with the outcome of this and this illustration I feel, is the best out of all the ones I have produced in this brief, I also feel that this is the one that I experimented with the most and is the most interesting.

Danny Roberts




Danny Roberts also uses both traditional and digital medias. I feel that most of his illustrations are produced by digital media although he creates the basic image first using traditional medias. I think that Danny's work varies from both the ready-to-wear and couture market levels.




Experimenting with the magic wand and copying and pasting, I have created this image taken from the first. I have used different effects on the faces and added colour into certain sections of the image.sting onto a blank background using

Johnny Cheuk






In comparison to Sarah Hankinson, Johnny Cheuk uses much more digital media than he does traditional, his illustrations are very busy and full of colour. I feel the similarity between both illustrators is the mood that is portrayed in their work, their both very youthful and exciting. Johnny mixes his computer work with water based paint and pencils. I think that his illustrations are high street. His illustrations are very detailed and beautiful and I feel that his work is aimed at a very specific audience, young people that are interested in art and graphics.
I would like to experiment with different effects in my own illustrations to make more detailed and interesting work.
