rendering and shizz

-save new image, different to working file
-menu, merge layers, fabric and dds
-trash fabric

dodging-lighter-black lollipop
burning-darker-belissimo hands

always have block colour on bottom - skin colour for range/figure drawing, on a new layer, inverse selection of dds space
edit - fill
after, merge layers

you can then cut and separate front and back using cut and paste onto different layers.

control and hover - shows you what layer you are on.

give it a drop shadow - layer, layer style, drop shadow

i type all of this, but i dont really know what it means.

range boards

-make DDS main focus of boards
-amy is kinda weird
-plain singlets on top
-first board with all 5 skirts

ORGANISING ELEMENTS
-all elements apply to graphic design (line, shape, direction, size, colour, texture)
-determine visual character
-text, graphics, etc

GROUNDING
-something to pull it all together e.g. a line

COLOUR
-a mid-grey background can do wonders for legibility
-no blue, preferably, its a funny colour
-consider colour of text
-never use blue for text, EVER


boards need to have one common redeeming feature, they need to be consistent
6 boards, visual diary, fabric feelers

each board: DDS, range drawing, description, style number and name

take me out tonighttttt

so have been really slack with blogging - but i have to say that uni takes up a crap load of my time.
have been crazy with assignements, the latest one being concept boards for "architectonic".

3 things i have learnt from this assignment:

1. you have to be extremely proactive, find out what you have to do, its not like school where you are fed the information - DAMN!

2. Time is the key. Be extremely organised with time, which is not my strong suit, but i guess I'll have to work on it if i want to be in fashion!

3. I'm not as bad at photoshop as i originally thought - it's not that hard to pick up. I just dont want to have to learn to use anything else. photoshop is enough!

Will post some pictures of my boards when i have my usb handy.

p.s. near death experience last night. scary.
