LO1: Research and develop design ideas


I had a cloud layer and then I added a “noise”
Then I burnt the image for a darker effect.
Then I played around with the Contrast, Hue and Saturation to give it a freshly dyed Blonde Hair Look and that was my Final Product

With this I played around with the Clouds and made a Lava/Fire effect which I feel to be very successful.
This Was a True Play around with nearly all the Photoshop element s that I know although I can’t remember the order How I did this I am very proud of this piece.
  This is probably the least Favourite of my work but the only main thing I like about this is the Background Blue and white swirl Behind the Tree like Figures. If there were a Dark Background then this would remind me of the Game   SLENDER   where there Trees are deceiving

SLENDER Game “Trees”



Chistian Sánchez – Colombia
This image actually reminds me of an interesting era of my life. Being a Gamer I play a lot of PS3 or PC games which can become anything between the Most Common FPS “Call of Duty” to the Famous First person Sandbox “Minecraft”.  But this particular Image reminds me of a Game Called Aliens Vs. Predator where the Movie Based Androids or Artificial intelligence from the ALIEN Movie Series. This also makes Me Feel a sense of FREEDOM, Free Falling and free flowing. this work also reminds me the work of an artist called Salvador Dali where the sense of unrealism and Background (Themed story) that has a lot to offer. as seen in the picture below: 



This image makes me think of a Light in the darkness scene were the being (angel) holding new life in a Bleeding, Damned World. With what appears to be floating Marble Blocks Engraved with Symbols of possible Old Scriptures of a previous Time. And the Rocky Lava effect that almost appears to have Figures of Dead bodies and War animals like dead horses. And if you look carefully to the Marble Cube That I’ve Put an Arrow to it has a Skull Like Figure Blended into the rock best seen in larger image.




This image Reminds me of the Film “Prometheus” Where the beings look very similar. As you can see in the Image below The Beings mainly from the Face look Human But without the Pupils make the being look ghostly or non-Human or if you want to stretch the meaning a little bit more a being from another World. I do like this image in a sense because of how other worldly it seems. The Background on the image on the left seems plain there doesn't seem of be a lot of colour, Where as the image on the right is got a massive amount of detail and colour in the background ad foreground.

Mel Gama – Brazil
This image has a slightly gothic feel to it, from the land to the sky and what appears to be a portal of some sort, to another world maybe? Where you can see a desert which is Dead and unforgiving and then the light from the portal looks Nearly Heavenly compared to the dusk, barren landscape that is held behind it. The Woman that is in the picture looks like she’s not expecting what is to come through this gateway of light and she looks slightly nervous like she’s being forced or dared to but not through her own will , could there be others? This picture can hold endless Noticeable factors that inspire the imagination but there is only a few that can be listed in a short space of time. The lighting in this picture is incredible and interesting and a Mayan saying comes to mind…
“Out of the darkness comes light”

  1. Hi Bradley. I seem to be having a problem viewing your Blog. However I'm adding some comments based on what I saw in the last session. You need to update your Revolution Art research and upload that onto this Blog. In one image we discussed how the lines on the figures were contoured - it would be good to add a comment on that and how these lines connect the characters, create form.
    Why was a liquid effect chosen in one image? We discussed free flowing and the inference of freedom. The background is a cloudy effect which adds interest and is abstract. Some figure elements are confusing - is this deliberate? Consider finding links with art movements such as Surrealism, we discussed briefly the work of Salvador Dali.
    Comment on your other 3 images and start to complete your NCFE logbook.
