Diminishing returns...A farmer grows 200 pumpkins. Buys a new field, and adds an additional 400 pumpkins, so 600 pumpkins. But thats so much work so he hires some other people. 4 people exactly. This should speed up the process...however he must pay salaries. He must figure out how many people he needs, but keep making considerable profits. Optimal input, for the optimal output. An immoral way he could solve this is he could hire some children from a faraway country with lower minimum wage, so he can deploy as many people as possible for the cheapest price.

A colour wheel, made from real life pictures I took


With this wheel we  can see those colour harmonies from before

Self Evaluation

My performance over these weeks has been I would say quite effective. I have attempted every task, and always try new things, however this means my work is often unfinished as I am trying new things. I have gained a lot of knowledge about Photoshop, when previously I had no knowledge. My work is different, but sadly most of my work is not fitting for a poster, having no space for title or the credits, etc. I seem more focused on the image. I did not know much about posters before, but I am now much more knowledgable on the topic, knowing key terms in the industry.

With more time I could finish all my work and at a higher quality, but it will take time.

Final Design And Evaluation



Here is my finished Conan poster. It is good, but it does need work. The hilt is very good, but the blade is too fine to stand out. I first got a picture of Conan's sword. I then zoomed in to 300% (I had attempted on other zooms but this was optimal) and then traced the outlines. I did take some artistic licence as the picture was not perfectly flat, and some details were lost in perspective. I zoomed in so the lines looked their best, other wise the pixels would be very clear. Tis made the process very long and hard, especially without any experience with a graphics tablet.

The black helps give a dark atmosphere and makes the titles and swords colours pop out. This is actually very practical.

Here is the image again, but with less fine lines. It seemed to of done the trick.

The sword as a single asset is very alluring. Fans would be excited by this, and non-fans may be intregued. The image makes the film seem more then just violence, which opens up a larger audience.







My Design Process



This is Sandler Wars. Currently in development.

I first got my characters from Star Wars. I then found images of Adam Sandler, and then I attempted to merge them. For Darth Vader I magic wand'ed the helmet an cut out the front. Then from a layer behind I had Adam Sandler's face. I then sized it and rotated until it was correct. I then attempted to shade the head. I tried a brush, but it was too strong, so I used the eraser instead. I then used the eraser to shade Darth Vader's shoulders and chest to fit in the other characters.

For princess Leia I had to come up with a way around my problems. I got the Adam Sandler head. I then erased Leia's face, and on a layer behind had Sandler's head. I then used the spot healing tool, and perspective tools, and warp tools to make the head fit. I then merged the layers.

I discovered this was a long task, and so am not surprised I have not been able to complete this.

I added Jabba The Hutt. I first got Jabba. I then spot healed his eyes. I then got Adam Sandler's face. I erased his mouth area. I then merged and used the spot healing tool.

I added more monsters

Pulp Fiction: Shots FINISH



This shot starts the scene. We can hear Travolta talking to him. We can see he is not interested and has other things on his mind. His stress is shown by his hand, frown and eyes.

Here is Travolta talking to Marvin. we can clearly see the gun, and it catches your eye, foreshadowing. Travolta's dark suit versus the light outside makes our vision hone in on the centre.

Boom. Our eyes were focused on the centre of the frame, so as Marvin's head explodes it hits the centre of our vision, which makes it feel like a real impact, and almost shocking as it was so fast. like a jumpscare almost.
