PROJECT 1 PART 1A: Physical Collage














  • Task：
PROJECT 1A: COLLAGE DESIGN ELEMENTS

1. Choose and identify your collage's design elements to be cut out and compose it into your own concept & story.
2. Pre compositing your collage's design elements into a composition.
  • Process：
According to this tutorial by Mr. Fauzi Yusoff, we need to use actual materials to do this project...
In other words, using materials that can be seen in daily life such as magazines and plastic bags as materials for this design project and in short, we can't use pictures found on the Internet and then print them out as materials.（I even specifically asked Mr. Fauzi Yusof, and he told me that any daily necessities can be used as materials, and size of the design is also optional.
For example, the following ↓）


Then in the second week of class, Mr. Fauzi Yusoff temporarily changed the classroom...
I used the materials available at the time to collage a version of ↑, at that time, I didn’t have time to show Mr. Fauzi Yusoff, so I left get out of class.
Of course, I also think that this collage is not ideal.

In the next 3 weeks, I continued to collect real-life everyday items (food or beverage packaging) as materials, so...
the following↓ is the material I collected.

So, I came up with three designs and three concepts & stories.
  1. PRE-COMPOSITION #1
    My own concept & story:
    This collage can be combined into a concept of future competition, with Messi as theprotagonist, using enhanced foods to maintain top performance on the field. Lay'spotato chips provide instant bursts of power, chocolate wafers enhance endurance, andmint qum improves concentration. Messi meets the challenges of the world's topplayers through these technological foods and continues to dominate the arena.
  2. PRE-COMPOSITION #2
    My own concept & story:
    In the future, green tea, honey and pear are combined into a rejuvenating health drink.This drink helps humans resist environmental changes, symbolizes the combination otnature and technology, and is a symbol of health in the future society.
  3. PRE-COMPOSITION #3
    My own concept & story:
    In the future city,7-Eleven becomes the center for athletes to get energy. Theprotagonist survives through competition, relying on natural forces (such as sunflowersand technological props. The cartoon bear symbolizes pure technology and helpspeople cope with challenges.

EXERCISE
Working with layers.
Adjustment Layers & Filters.
  • Process：
  1. WEEK 3 -PEN TOOLEXERCISE(BEST COMPOSITION)

    DESCRIPTION:

    I used the color balance tool and layer mask to test the effect on the top of all layers. It was a small test of my skills.

  2. WEEK 4 (ADJUSTMENT LAYERS & FILTERS )

    DESCRIPTION:

    For this, I first added a level effect. In this effect, I adjusted the preset to "Dark Midtones" and adjusted the middle value to "0.75". Leave the rest unchanged, then enabled the layer mask and applied shadows on it, and then added the color level. I added a Hue/Saturation effect to the layer. The Hue is 0, the Saturation is "-14", and the Lightness is "-21". The default custom range is the whole image. Then I enable the layer mask and apply a shadow underneath. Then I add the previous two effects. I added a photo filter, the filter is Sepia, the color is "#ac7a33", the density is 75% while retaining the brightness. Finally, I added a curve effect on all layers and set the parameters as follows ↓ This is what I exported after the picture.
