Task 2 - Old Photo Restoration

We were assigned to restore the colour and fix an old picture, i decided to do one of my deceased grandmother.

It was an excruciatingly long processes as most of the colours had to be guessed since the original image was in black and white.

I did it by creating solid colour layers with the selected parts as masks, then i made them into an overlay or colour (depending on which looked best)

The final result was the following:

 

Task 2 - Dust Cover

I decided to pick The Handmaid's Tale as a book to do its dust cover.

The cover itself is made in a very minimlistic way as the most striking feature of  the cover are the handmaids at the bottom, which i managed to incorporate to the image, I edited the image so that 3 of the faces are green: these are supposed to represent 3 of the handmaids in the book.

Task 2 - Photo Manipulation

We were assigned to manipulate a photo of our fellow class mates.

I decided to add antlers and recolour his hair, along with a mike tyson face tattoo.

i used the liquefy tool to distort some features and also the clone stamp tool to give him another eye.

Task 2 - Textured Logo Type

We had to select a word and apply an effect to explain the word chosen. For my word i decided to pick 'Injam' which translates to Wood in English.

The process of it is pretty simple, I created a text layer with the selected word, then i added an image of a wooden texture. I created a layer mask so that the wooden texture would be transferred on the word. the i added layer filters so that it would look a bit jagged like wood.

I created 2 which are the following ones:

Task 2 - Sunny Coast

This task was to provide an advert for the Hotel Sunny Coast, which was providing a weekend break special for its consumers,

in order to get to the final result I had various ideas which all had great features, but they all lacked some thing important - the lack of cluster.

This advert was inspired by the rising sun. I took an image of a rising sun and took it to photoshop where i created its paths to export them to illustrator, Once on illustrator i started to write down the required items which were:

• The hotel's name - Sunny Coast Resort
• Weekend break Special
• The contact info (email and telephone number)
• along with 4 stars to show the value of the hotel

We cad to do the poster in a specific colour scheme which was Black, White, and Red. Whereas the other one we where free to chose any colour that we wanted.

Below i have my final posters for the Sunny Cast resort:

 

Task 2 - Bacon Booklet

This aim of this task was for us to use grid lines in illustrator, along with implementing text in a text box so that it would be seamless in the text.

I started out by identifying the grid lines, where the writing space is in this specific booklet,
then i created a maroon coloured background to symbolize the colour of bacon.
Then i added a lighter box so that the text would be more viable on the booklet, then i added the text box and i split it up into 2 columns and 3 rows, so that the text would be spread out evenly.

I continued by adding the pictures and text wrapping them so that the pictures could integrate with the text.

Task 2 - Name Logo

I started out by sketching some ideas for a name logo, the final idea war rather simple and minimalist

the first idea consisted of a symmetrical alignment with my name which included a hexagon for the background and for the letter 'O'

Then I came up with another logo which consisted of the following:

I started out on illustrator by typing out my name one on top of the other, then I tweaked the letter 'R' a bit so that it would show continuation with the other letters, finally I added the fleu-de-lys in the letter 'o' to show that scouting is my passion
