·         Introduction to your assignment (explain what your assignment was)
·         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 .

·         What would you do differently next time and what did yo

I would of used a better camera then my phone.To not behind on mt unit  to much  to catch up  with work more faster.I most  remember to take screenshot when I'm doing the work not going backwards and taking screenshots as it was wasting time on my work.

·         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.
