Evaluation

       For this assignment I've been given 7 weeks to finish this Image Management. In this 7 weeks I've been asked to complete 4 mini tasks and a Fancy Landscape photograph which was meant to be fake landscape. Also, I had to research two photographers which were Seung Woo Back and John Goto. 
       For my first mini task I had to do a Image Within a Image. To complete this task Molly had to take two photos of me. One of them was me standing next to the wall and the other one was me sitting next to the billboard. Then I had to upload my images to a Photoshop. First thing that I did was I dragged the first photo into the second one and then I changed the opacity to 52% so I could see the billboard behind my second photo. Then I had to rotate the image so it fits on to a billboard. After that I zoomed it to delete unwanted bits of my second photo and to do that I used eraser tool. Then I changed the opacity to 100% and zoomed out so I could see if I deleted everything I wanted. After I finished editing it I had to flatter the image and save it. Through this process I screen grabbed everything I did to prove that I did it step by step. 
For my second final mini task I had to create Half In Colour Half In Black And White image. To do this task I had to take a photograph of something colorful and then upload my image to a Photoshop. When I did that I had to create another layer of the same photo so then I had two layers and I could start editing it. To start editing my image I had to click on 'Desaturate' so it changed the image to black and white. Then what I had to do was to click on erase tool so the colour on my photograph started to show up and I had to zoom in very close to see the edges of where I want the colour to show up. When I finished with that I had to save my image.
For my third task I've been asked to do Duplicating. For this I went out and took two photos of Emilie on the bench  One of them was when she was sitting on it and the other one was her standing on this bench. When I uploaded those photographs to Photoshop I then had to choose a lasso tool. When I chose this tool i had to go around one of the images of Emilie. When I finished with the lasso tool I chose erase tool and then clicked on 'Quick mask mode' to see what it looks like and then erase those bits that were still on the photo. After that I moved Emilie form this edited photo to the first one and had to fit her there perfectly. Then I used the blur tool to blur Emilie so it didn't look like I just copied and pasted her onto this firs image.
For my fourth task I had to to Painting onto a Photo. To do that I went out and took a portrait of Molly standing next to the wall. When I uploaded my photo to Photoshop I the clicked on Adjustments and then on Channel Mixer, and then I had to click on Monochrome so it change my photo to black and white. After that I saved it and printed it out on A4 piece of paper. I then used water colour paints to paint the black and white photo. 
For my final task I chad to create a Fancy Landscape. I went out and took photos of a big building, football  pitch, beer factory chimney and logo of shopping center in Burton. First thing that I did on this photo I used a magic lasso tool to go around the big building and then erased unwanted bits of photo then I dragged this building to the football pitch, and I had to change opacity so I could see where I have to delete the building. Then I did the same with a chimney and logo. After that I flattered everything and blurred around those three things that I added to this football pitch. For this assignment I used Cannon 400D camera, computer, memory stick. 
       What I enjoyed the most in this 7 week assignment was Painting Onto a Photo and Duplicating. The reason why I enjoyed them was because Painting onto a photo was very creative task and we have learned the techniques that all the photographers did when the colour photography wasn't even existing. I enjoyed the duplicating because for me this was the most interesting task of all. I like how you can manipulate image and make it look real even if it's not.
       If I did my final fancy landscape again I would add more trees to it so it would look better and probably I would choose some different building or objects to add to it as well or I would take two landscape photographs and combine them together and then maybe that would look better that my final fancy landscape that I have created.
