Your
research – what images inspired you? (refer to your
I have done 2 different research in this unit and they are both secondary research and primary research , they are helpful research what as helped me for my final piece for the creatures unit.The creature from harry potter inspired a lot because the textual and the detail showing on the creature helped me for my own creatures. .The stonebraige city farm wasn't that much inspiring for me as I have been to the farm before, but seeing new animal then the previews one help me created my own creature.

What were
your ideas? Refer to your proposal – outline what it was you intended to do.
My idea was to create my own creatures with the montage technique in photoshop .I will chosen 6's animal and 2 background pictures from the harry potter trip for my broad game box cover .I have used new techniques for my montage creature so I can make something different from my previews works.I have done some research on the information so I can add it to my box. If I created the infromation for the box it would of wasted my time doing it myself.I wanted to make something similar kind to the 3 head dog from harry potter what is my favourite montage out of my 3, because it had a differ net personally then the other creatures I have created.I like the horse Montage as it had more effect and more detail then the other montages.I have chosen 2 background because one of them are for the side-broad and the other would be use for background it self . I have used the curves and level to make the background more darken then it actually is.

What
animals at the farm did you focus upon and why? Did the shots you achieved at
the farm match those in your
I have took more picture of the chickens and ducks more then the other animals, as I was active toward the chickens and ducks more as they have very good body usement on my montage work. I didn't need the chickens in my montage, but I did need the ducks as they had better quilty picture then the chicken images.I have took picture of the cow but never used the images for my montage but I did take the picture incase I did need it for my montage or for a back-up plan for my montage.The horese, pig ,ram,duck and goat did achieved very well for my montage. I have took very good picture of the animals on the farm.
i
proposal? What shots did you achieve at Harry Potter World and how were these used in your board game design?
They were good images ,but some of them were too dark for my camera on my phone and I should have took my video camera in stead of using my camera phone.I have took plenty of pictures for the background of the box, but they was hard to choice which of the pictures I could of chosen for my background. I have decided to use the castle more then the others images because it was used well with the curves and levels in Photoshop.It had suited with the montage's cretaure more then it did on a blanket A3 (Photoshop sheet size ) .I did choice two picture because it went well with the creatures. I have also used it as a side broad image for my box .Has their are some boardgames who do have thoses kind of layout for there broad game boxes as the background.
- Photography. What did you
have to take into account, ie, lighting, location, animals and HP world
I have used iSO 100 for the farm animals as it was a cloudy day.I also used the progam setting in the colleges camera, what was on a aperture setting . I have aslo used the white blanace to see which is a better quilty pictures of the animals. The loction was at stonebriage city farm what was a 10-15 mins walk from the college.I have took plenty of images from the farm, but I wish that I've could of took pictures of the rabbits and other animals inside the barn, as it could of made more of a veriety of imgaes for my montage work.The Harry potter world I have use iSO what it have look like it was a 100 or less because some of the quietly of the images wasn't that good. In Each stages of the Harry Potter tour, it had different light and dark air what was quiet difficult to keep playing with the white balance ,as I could of used a better camera then my phone.
- What Photoshop editing
processes did you use to produce your final three creatures?
I have done my three creatures on 2 different Photoshop software.What are called CCS (new version )and CS2(old version) what had different ways of editing and tools,but they are related in some way .I did one of montages creature at home because I didn't had another time to do it in class and I had took my time on editing my Creatures so I can make it into a merit stranded level.I have used the pen tool to cut out parts of the animals, what had felt like I was doing surgery on the animals what felt kind of weird doing the edit on the animal , I have also used the add layer mask what was quite helpful to do my creature.where I can remove some parts of the montage creature and added back on the creature what was kind of fun using the tool . I also been using some of the old techniques like curves and levels what made the animals look they were in a newspaper or creating a piece of art work.I have also used the distort tool toward the stylise tool on the CS2 as the tools are kind of weird way to use them . I have added some lensing flares and lighting tool for the eyes , legs and many more parts of the animals I have done sceenshot of my editing what shows how I created them .

In your
opinion, does your final image meet the assignment brief and your original
proposal?
I like my broad game cover box's design a lot as it is one of my best work I have done so far . The slogan and The title makes it suited with the box what makes shout out towards the audines I am aiming at .I hate doing contact sheet the most as I after type up anations of my images and I did struggle with it a lot .I have kept with my proposal this time then my film noir proposal, because it was more easy doing it after I have done my final piece because I know what I can write up about my work then doing.
