Merging Photoshop PDS Files Into Video

Editing Videos in "Motion" - Primatte RT + Oscillate Tools

I made this video using the program "Motion" to edit a video filmed behind a green screen and make the background a different colour while keeping the objects (in this case the two dancing men) in tact by using the Primatte RT function. 

I then added a rectangular shape as a background and put three circles in front of the background. I made them move by Oscillating them and then exported my edited video to a QuickTime format.

CD Cover Assignment

 For this assignment I decided to create the cover for a new dance genre compilation music CD. I was inspired by the packaging of the So Fresh and Ministry of Sounds CDs. My intended audience for the CD is young party music lovers.

3D Lettering in Photoshop CS5

Using the 3D Repousse function in Photoshop CS5 I created a 3D font and then edited to give it a rounder, more inflated shape and chose a texture resembling that of Weet-Bix. After that I duplicated the text layer, inersed it and added a gradient effect to it to make it seem like a reflection of the original text. Then I created a grey border which I blurred to add a vignette effect.

Vignette Task

 I found a photo of flowers on the internet and created a vignette effect, bringing attention to the flowers by making them lighter in colour.

First IT Assignment: Rubbish Fonts

Denis Zilic - 3886914

Here is my Rubbish Font Assignment :)

My definition of "rubbish" is something that is a hinderance and that is a negative thing. I chose to make a font comprised of cigarettes because I believe smoking to be "rubbish" in the sense that it is harmful to the body and produces wastes in the body.

My intended audience is all font-users and creators in general who are looking for an unusual font.



First I found a photo of cigarettes on the internet.



I then deleted one of the cigarettes using the Magic Wand and Quick Selection tools.



This photo was then the basis for creating the letters.



Through the use of overlapping layers I created the letters of the alphabet.





I tried to maintain consistency in the size, shape and spacing of the letters.

 

The end product :)

Visual Design for Digital Media

Welcome to my new Visual design Blog !!

My name is Denis, I have a high interest in all things to do with technology but I need to brush up on my Photoshop skills and so on.

Previously I've created videos (just for fun though) but I would like to master the art of Photoshopping and Web Design.

To me Visual Design is a great form of expression although I'm more of a perceiver than a creator when it comes to Digital Media but this will serve as a large motivator for me to finally learn the tricks of Visual Design.
