3. Raster Graphics
• A Raster Graphic is made of Bitmaps
• Bitmaps are made of pixels
• Pixels are what the graphic is made up of
• They record information and have a fixed
resolution, therefore, if resized, can cause
distortion
• Raster Graphics are stored in files, via different
formats
4. Vector Graphics
• These are made up of vectors/paths
• They have a definitive start and end points.
• These have curves, points and angles between
them
• The scaling can be big and small therefore no
definition is lost
5. JPEG
Stands For Joint photographic experts group
Used For JPEGs have a general use as most
photographs use this format. Used on web
formats e.g. Facebook. Raster graphic.
Advantage They can be compressed, therefore they
have a small file size.
They do not take up a lot of memory
Disadvantage During the compression and
decompression they lose quality, therefore
the image is less defined
7. TIFF
Stands For Tagged image file format
Used For Desktop publishing, adobe design
documents. Raster graphic.
Advantage During compression it does not loose
quality, compared to JPEG.
Using TIFF on Photoshop, you can preserve
layers / files
Disadvantage Compared to a JPEG image, TIFF does not
compress nearly as much, therefore, it
uses a very large file.
The software you can use with TIFF, is
limited
8. PSD
Stands For Photoshop document
Used For Image manipulation e.g. front cover for
magazines. Raster graphic.
Advantage You can save many different layers
Supports transparency
Disadvantage Get very big files
Limited to the software you can use
10. AI
Stands For Adobe illustrator art
Used For Logo creation. Vector graphic.
Advantage Can be scaled big and small , therefore no
quality is lost
Disadvantage Like PSD, you are limited to the software
you can use with AI
12. 3DS
Stands For 3D studio
Used For 3D modelling animation and rendering,
moving images. Used in the creation of
animated characters and environments.
Vector graphic.
Advantage 3DS is the industry standard therefore you
are flexible to the different software you
can use
Disadvantage Huge file types, these are harder to store
Complicated to use, you have to be a
professional
Expensive software
16. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
What I liked about my image is that you could actually tell it was a giraffe. The shape
of the body, the colour of the body & spots helped it to look like a giraffe. We used the
shape tool & the free transform tool to try & get the image as close to the original as
possible.
What would you improve if you did it again?
What I would improve on if I did it again is the lacking of features. I would include
features such as the eyes, nose mouth to make it look closer to the real thing. I would
also finish the spots on the image. I would fill in gaps to improve the quality of the
work.
18. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
1) What I like about the first image is that the face looks like her actually face, thanks
to rotoscoping, I could follow the actual shape of her face. I couldn’t do this by just
using shapes. I also like the colours I used, as they contrast against one another,
allowing each feature to stand out.
2) With my second one, I liked how, by using different tools, I made some of the
features more defined. Such as the nose & the colour variations of her hair.
What would you improve if you did it again?
1) If I had to improve this image if I did it again, I would define the image. For example,
I could include the colour variations of her hair, shadow change on her face.
2) I improved upon my first go of rotoscoping on this image by using tools that would
define her features. If I had to improve upon it though, I would change the golden
highlights in her to look more graphic-like.
20. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
1) What I like about this image is how the quote & the colour I used are linked
together (“On Wednesdays, we wear pink” & the colour pink)
2) What I like about this image is that it isn't just text, there is also a graphic
underneath it that I made. Also, I like how I colour-coordinated the colour of the
real food, with the graphic of the food & the the colour of the text. I think this is
really effective.
What would you improve if you did it again?
1) To improve, I could just like my second one, produce a graphic that the text could
be on top of & be linked to e.g. an item of clothing.
2) To improve upon this image, I would make the colours brighter. This would catch
the eye & also make it look better in general.
22. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I liked how The colours used were just different gradients of one another, it created a
classic house style. I also liked the font it used, its very simple.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to do this again, I would change the background writing so it looked more like
a newspaper & also so you could see it said ‘print base media’.

Content
I am going to make three YouTubers (Grace Helbig, Mamrie Hart, Hannah Hart) into
graphics for their film Camp Takota. I will use the outfits they usually wear onset. I am
going to rotoscope over the image to get a outline, then I will have to make the
clothing myself. As I want it to look like a graphic, I am going to use white & green only.
I also want the design to look very simplistic & to look like something that would be
made at camp.
Export Format
PNG
Advantages; Compatible with red bubble, transparency & lowered opacity
Disadvantages; larger file size (can slow down computer)
28. Proposal
Deadline
1st October
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3
Prepare the text for t-
shirt(s)
Start& finish first t-shirt &
start second
Complete second & start&
finish third & fourth t-shirt
Schedule
Audience
My niche audience is going to fans of three YouTubers & also fans of the film,
broadening the audience. Their fans are usually young females (16 -21). They’re
alternative (don’t follow the crowd), therefore they should appreciate my quirky
design plan & would enjoy the fact they are part of a niche audience. Not a lot of
people will have this design.
33. Peer Evaluation
•What are the strengths of the final image?
It all has a consistent theme throughout, you’ve
portrayed each person in the film very well and the
house style is consistent. I love the different features
on each character especially the bandana. I like how
you have done a t-shirt for each person, it gives people
a choice who they want on their t-shirt, or to have all
three.
• What could be developed if the image was repeated?
Used a different colour, or different shades.
34. What are the strengths of the final image?
•I really like how all of the images link in with each other
and all have the same colour design as it shows
consistency throughout their work. Just adding some of
the facial features has worked really well and gives them
more character. All the designs have been done really
well and show skill.
What could be developed if the image was repeated?
• Because all of the designs are green it doesn’t give
much choice for the buyer so maybe have different
colours.
Peer Evaluation
35. What are the strengths of the final image?
• I like how they have used 3 images to make one final
image and put them all together this makes a strong
link between the images. The use of only a few facial
images makes it more interesting as you want to see
what expression there pulling etc.
What could be developed if the image was repeated?
• Try to use different skills on a different image and a
wider range of colours to make it more brighter and a
wider variety of skills.
Peer Evaluation
36. Peer Evaluation
• What are the strengths of the final image?
• He has done the majority of the creation
himself using rotoscoping. He has also added
some nice detail to the hair.
• What could be developed if the image was
repeated?
• He could add a little more detail else where
38. Does your final product reflect your
original intentions?
• I believe my final product does reflect my original intentions for my
product
• I worked on top of the same images as seen on my flat plan. I stuck to the
majority of the same image line, but changed a few things (adding extra
hair, changing outfits) to make the overall design look better
• I changed the original font to something more design orientated (logs =
camp fire = camp takota).
• I, instead of using the original faces on the photograph altogether, I used
the outlines of their individual photos. I believe this shows an overall &
coherent theme throughout the three designs.
• During the production of my final image, I also decided to make some
more changes e.g. where the log went. I actually decided to change it into
a log (again linking it to a camp). I thought it made the overall design look
better.
41. Is your product suitable for your
audience?
• My final designs came out the way I wanted to & that was based upon my
first audience proposal
• Although I did have females primarily targeted, but as I used the colour
green (which is deemed a gender neutral colour) males will not be put off
buying my t-shirts if they wanted to. This is also helped by redbubble as
they allow you to decide on the kind of t-shirt you want (girly-fit, regular
etc.)
• Linking to Uses & Gratifications theory, my audience can relate to the
people involved in the film on a personal level. This then makes them
more likely to buy the final product. They also have a choice to whom they
identify the most with (or all of them).

42. What do you like/dislike about the
techniques you have used?
• I have used to main tools whilst producing my
final product
1. Rotoscoping: I used the polygonal lasso tool to
select certain parts of the image I was working
on top of so I could turn it into a graphic &
change the colour. Doing this is time
consuming & sometimes mistakes can be
made easily, but once done correctly, it can
look very effective.
2. Colour Range: I used the colour range to select
certain parts of the image e.g. a certain shade
of hair. This would select this part of the
image. You would then copy it, create a new
layer & then paste it into said layer. This
technique is less time consuming than
rotoscoping & can be more effective. I say can
because it can grab certain parts of the image
you do now want & this is time consuming to
find & then rub out with the eraser tool.
• I used the two techniques the most as I felt
the most confident with them & also they
work well together.
43. What do you like/dislike about how
your final product looks?
• My final product looks exactly the way I want it
to, but specifically, there are something's I like &
dislike
Likes:
• I like the fact a chose specific features about
each actress to add a personal touch to each
individual design (eyes, bandana, mouth)
• A coherent scheme is found throughout each of
the designs. The font used, logs, colours etc. are
just a few things that run throughout all my
designs.
• I also like the fact it looks like it could have
possibly been made at an actual camp.
Dislikes:
• Mamrie (the woman on the left) does not look
as effective as the other two on the group t-
shirt. It was difficult to rotoscope her, compared
to the other two.
44. Why did you include the content you
used?
• I used these images as they allowed me
to show specific detail of each individual.
• I used the font as it linked to the title of
the film & it is the official font that was
used for the film.
• I used colour range to add definition to
some parts of the design e.g. hair.
• I used the colour green as it connotes
nature, which then again links to the
ideas of a camp being out in nature.
Green is also the official colour used by
the film. I also used black to highlight
specific features and their names to
show specific things about them.
45. What style have you employed in your
products?
• I was influenced by other graphic
design products (shown on right) as I
felt they would look good on a t-
shirt as they're usually not to fussy &
look effective on said product.
• I was also influenced on pre-existing
Camp Takota merchandise (shown
on left), which allowed me to make
my products look as professional as
the official products.
• I think the visual style of my product
is hand-made. I wanted my final
product to have a camp arts and
crafts feel to them as, again, it links
to the movie. I didn’t want my
products to look rough either
though. I believe I got the right
balance.
46. What were the strengths and weaknesses
of the pre-production and planning
Strengths of planning/research
• The research I did before starting to make my product was helpful as it
allowed me to see what kind of products were already out in the market.
This allowed me to see if my niche audience was being catered for.
Weakness’ of planning/research
• I actually felt a little intimidated by some of the products I found e.g. I
didn’t feel like I could create work up to that standard.
Strengths of pre-production
• Pre-production allowed me to see what my product could look like. This
stopped the weakness I felt during the planning & research part of the
task.
Weakness’ of pre-production
• I felt like I couldn’t move away from my initial flat back plan that came
from the pre-production (although I did in the end)
47. Analysis
One block colour
Allows all features
to be on the same
level. The colour
green also links in
with the whole
theme of nature as
it connotes nature
The text is large
Easy to read
Grace & Hannah
(right & middle)
look good.
Mamrie
(left) not up to
the same
standard. I would
spend more time
on Mamrie if I
were to repeat
the project.
Logs
Links to font as
they are also logs
& it connotes a
campfire which
links to title of film.
The image
(if you look at my other
designs) you can tell are linked
together. There is a coherent
theme. I didn’t add too much
detail because I didn’t want it
to look too fiddly

A specific thing about
them.
Colour
I used two different
gradients of green to
show detail in the
hair.
I used black & white
for the unique feature
about them as they
contrast towards one
another & also the
green. I also did her
name in black so it
links to the unique
part of each individual
t-shirt.

51. Peer Feedback
• My peer feedback was good &
I agreed with most of what
was said & was happy that
those that did give me
feedback liked my designs.
• Three of the four people
mentioned the colour I used &
how it doesn’t always look
right & different colours of t-
shirts. The colour is part of the
design & connotes well with
the film, that is why I chose it.
If I was given more time, I
could add more colour
designs.
• I’m also also happy my peers
have noticed the attention to
detail of the characters
personality.
