Shaping an Idea

Stage 1

Collect and Select

Use images and words or phrases to determine an idea, theme

Collect – open mind – subconscious

1. Select – edit – three grouping – general ideas
   
2. Revisit – Collect – add to collections
   
3. Verbalize – add words to each collection
   

 

 

Stage 2

Develop the idea / mood

Using colour, texture, patterns, lines and brushes

1. Use three colours to create a colour scheme
   
2. Determine the mood of colours dark /light, bright/subdue etc.
   
3. Lines determine sight lines – static dynamic
   
4. Textures, patterns, brushes help to create rhythm

Profile

1. Previously I have used Picnk on my Facebook account to edit photos but that quickly became very restricting so for the last couple of years I have used Adobe Photoshop. I have also used Windows Movie Maker, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash. In other years I haven't really done any major projects, just some school assignments here and there.
2. I really like Photoshop and other programs similar to that. I'm excited to learn more about other programs but it would also be great to get a few more tricks to use in Photoshop.

3. Other things that I'm interested in or take up a lot of time in my life are soccer, global service, indie music, photography and skiing.
