2. File Formats

3. Raster Graphics
Raster is made up of bitmaps- these are made
up of millions of pixels/coloured pixels.
Resizing pictures used by bitmaps can distort.
TIFF is an example of a flexible bitmap image
format supported by virtually all paint, image-
editing, and page-layout applications.

4. Vector Graphics
Vectors are made up of paths, strokes or vectors.
Vectors are good when you want to enlarge an
image as well as make the image smaller as the
image is defined by start to end.
Good for logos for turn them from:
-business cards
To:
-billboards

5. JPEG
Stands For Joint photographic expert group
Used For Photographs and web formats- for
facebook and mobile phone cameras.
Advantage Can be shared and used on the internet,
such as social networking sites
-twitter
-facebook
-instagram
-tumblr
Disadvantage Loses quality every time you edit due to
compression and recompression.

6. TIFF
Stands For Tagged image file format
Used For Desktop publishing- popular with graphic designers.
TIFF is used for publishing because supports both
embedded paths and alpha channels which can be
used to create transparent backgrounds for images in
a page layout application.
Advantage Can save multi-page documents
Doesn’t lose any quality due to compression
TIFF documents have a maximum file size of 4 GB
when using a newer version of photoshop
Disadvantage Don’t use TIFFs for web images-
Produces big files.
If you open the file in another application, only the
flattened image is visible.

7. PSD
Stands For Photoshop Document
Used For Image manipulation.
Front cover images for magazines
Advantage Saves layers and page formatting
information.
Supports transparency.
This is similar to (PSB) which is a larger
document.
Preserves many photoshop features and
maintains image appearance.
Document is faster to open.
Disadvantage Limited software use
Cant send it to someone who doesn’t have
the right software, such as photoshop.

8. AI
Stands For Adobe illustration art
Used For Logo creations- good to represent a
company
Advantage Can be scaled big or small and has no loss
in definition. It can be used on business
cards or billboards.
Disadvantage Limited software, cant use it/open it on
any other software than its own.

9. 3DS
Stands For 3D studio
Used For 3d modelling, animation and rendering
Creation of 3D characters
Used in moving image
Advantage Industry standard format
Used in moving image
Cartoon
Video games
Disadvantage Holds huge files
Because its only used for a moving image
its not good to use for a standard image
you would use PSD instead for that.

11. Shape Task

12. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the way the shapes are used and how you can tell that it is a penguin. I also like
the colours used to make it look a bit different.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would probably change the shapes so that they don’t overlap and add a little more
detail because it looks quite boring.

13. Rotoscope

14. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I really like the effects used on this image because it all looks quite life-like. I how detailed the image looks and
the little things like her nose ring and teeth. I also like the way it doesn’t look perfect and you can see some
minor imperfections. I like how similar this looks to the original image, I think that you can really tell that its
her.
What would you improve if you did it again
If I could do it again I might try work on them imperfections even though I don’t really mind them, but just to
see what it would look like if it was more perfect.

15. Text Based

16. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the way the text goes well with the image and
the font used for it as well as the colour.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I did it again I would try to make it look more
interesting as it looks quite simple and easy. I
would also make sure the grammar is correct
because it is missing capital letters

17. Logo Creation

18. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the use of rotascoping on this image I think it
was done nice and carefully and the colours chosen
work well.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could have done it again I maybe would have
chosen a different place for the text above that says
‘print based’ and perhaps a different font.

Content
I am planning to design a T-shirt featuring Lumpy space princess, a character from
Adventure time. The imaged will be rotoscoped, and there will be text either
underneath the image or rounded to fit inside the mouth saying ‘OH MY GLOB’ I want
the t-shirt to either be white or a shade of purple.
Export Format
PNG
Advantages; It can save transparency and has lowered opacity
Disadvantages; Larger file sizes than e.g JPEG

24. Proposal
Deadline
1st October
Wedneday Monday Tuesday
• start rotascoping the
image
• decide on a final font
for the text
• try to make a
rotascoped border of
sandwiches
If the design is finished
on Wednesday, start on
one of the other ideas on
photoshop
•Finish off the final
design
•Upload tshirt to
redbubble
Schedule
Audience
The audience will range from children to teenagers

25. Digital Flat Plan

26. Peer Evaluation
What are the strengths of the final image?
• I think that the use of rotascoping looks good and I like how the text inside the
mouth curves round so you can tell the character is shouting it.
What could be developed if the image was
repeated?
• I would maybe try and experiment with different shading because its quite a
simple design

27. Peer Evaluation
• What are the strengths of the final image?
• I like the image because I think that the rotascoping looks good and the way the
teeth and the tongue have been done. I also like the stroke used to give it a nice
outline.
• What could be developed if the image was
repeated?
• I think that the features on the face could be experimented with a bit more, I think
that it could look better if the eyes were open.

28. Peer Evaluation
• What are the strengths of the final image?
• I like the text used in the mouth and how it matches well with the facial features, I
also like how even though it is quite a plain design it still looks good on a T-shirt. I
think that the rotascoping is done quite well because it really looks like the original
character.
• What could be developed if the image was
repeated?
• I think that some more effort could have been done in to how the arms and fingers
were made. They make the image look a little bit hand drawn and not as well as
the rest of it. I also think that the stroke around the outside looks a bit different at
the bottom, so I would improve that if it could be repeated.

29. T-Shirt Evaluation

30. Does your final product reflect your
original intentions?
• Since the beginning I have kept the original
idea to have the text ‘oh my glob’ somewhere
on the image and that has stayed on my final
product. When it got to the flat plan I had
decided on an image and placed the text
underneath, but whilst on photoshop I
decided to change the image and make it my
own. I also move the text from underneath
and put it inside the mouth.

31. Is your product suitable for your
audience?
• In my proposal I stated that the audience will
be suitable for children to late teens. It will
also be suitable for boys and girls. The reason
why my product is suitable for teens and not
just children (due to it being shown on a
children’s channel) is because the programme
at times can have a slightly more adult
humour. Which is why older people tend to
watch it and would know what my product is
about.

32. What do you like/dislike about the
techniques you have used?
• I like the use of rotascoping on my image. When I originally
finished the image I noticed that the bottom of the image
was quite jagged and didn’t look very good. So I used the
pen tool to create a new path to cover up the bit that I
didn’t like and added a stroke to give it the same outline as
the rest of the image. For all the features I used the shape
tool and warped them to the position that I wanted them. I
applied a clipping mask to the teeth and the tongue to
make them inside the mouth. I don’t really like the shapes
that I used for the arms and fingers. I found it quite hard to
get them in to the shape that I wanted and they don’t look
very good. I also think that the effect used at the bottom
didn’t work as well as I hoped it would because it looks
noticeably odd compared to the rest of the outline.

33. What do you like/dislike about how
your final product looks?
• I like that it noticeably looks like the character
its based on and the little details like the teeth
and the text, I like where the text has been
placed. I don’t think that my product looks
very good overall due to the way the arms and
fingers have been made and the outline at the
bottom, I also think that the eyebrows could
be improved

34. Why did you include the content you
used?
• Images, fonts, effects, colours
• I started off with an image from google of LSP
and just used it for a general outline of how I
wanted it to look like. I found a font that I
liked from dafont.com and warped it to make
it look a bit different. I used
rotascoping, warping and shapes. The colours
I used were black, purple, and yellow and
white
.

35. What style have you employed in your
products?
• The influence of my product is the TV programme
‘Adventure Time’
• Whilst looking on redbubble I saw quite a few
designs for the programme and it gave me the
idea to use LSP and her favourite quote of mine. I
chose to use rotascoping because its quite a
simple image and I don’t think using shapes for
the full thing would look as good. I used shapes
for the hands because they needed to be more
rounded and if I had a better skill at warping they
could have looked good.

36. What were the strengths and weaknesses
of the pre-production and planning
• The planning and research helped me because
at first I was struggling to think of an idea, so
research of my favourite programmes and
taking a look on redbubble to see existing
designs of programmes helped me a lot. I saw
a few designs with LSP on and various
different quotes so I just put the two together.

37. Analyse each of your final print products commenting
on the strengths, weaknesses and aspects you would
do differently if you were to repeat the project
I like how the image is quite simple
The bottom of LSP
doesn’t look the
same as the rest so I
would have
rotascoped it
differently next time
The way I shaped the
arms didn’t work too
well, I think that I
should have added a
stroke to them like
the rest of the image.
I liked the rotascoping on this imagbecause it looks very similar
to the original picture
I think the facial
features don’t
look as well as
they could have
done, especially
the eyes
because close
up they don’t
look very
realistic
I like the effect used
on the tattoos, I
think it works really
well and gives a
genuine outline to
her real tattoos
I think the shading on her face works well
and makes it look more realistic

38. Peer Feedback
• I agree with the feedback about my design, I agree that
there are certain parts that could have been more
concentrated on. I agree with the most about the
arms/hands, that was the part that I was most unhappy
with, I think it definitely could have been improved or a
different technique could have been used. Overall I
think the feedback was good and it will definitely help
me improve my work. The one thing I disagreed with
was the shading. The character LSP is completely
purple, if I changed the colour I don’t think it would
have looked right and caused confusion for people that
know the program.
