Polar co-ordinates
Today we completed a tutorial on using polar co-ordinates.
Firstly, we took an image of New York, duplicated it and flipped the duplicate horizontally.
Next, we flattened the image and rotated it by one hundred and eighty degrees.
After this, we went to image, image size and un-ticked constrain proportion. After this, we then made the width the same as the height.
Next we went to filter, distort and chose polar co-ordinates. This create a circular image.
To make the image look better, we then adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the background black.
Consumerism
After watching videos on www.storyofstuff.com I decided create a poster based on the issue of consumerism.
The idea behind the my first poster is asking you what brand do you buy and how it becomes a part of you as you buy more and more of a brand.
After completing a tutorial, I took what I learnt and applied it to my previous poster. I took my brand man and duplicated it nine times and distorted it using polar co-ordinates. I then got an image of Earth so it would look as if the brands are running the world.
This image was about how the brands we buy get thrown out eventually and we may not consider the effects on the environment.
I feel i have created some good posters for consumerism and I think that the first two images are better as the third image I created is a bit unclear.
