Text on Movie Posters

I think this is a good example of text used correctly. The style of the text looks like blood and that is exactly what the movie is trying to portray. It gets the message of the movie across clearly to the viewer. It is also cenetered int he middle and directs the viewers eye at the title and the point of the movie.

I think this is an example of bad text. There is too many different types of text. It does not keep the add flowing. There is white, black, green and orange colored text. It makes the poster confusing and lose its rhythm. I also do no like the horizontal stripes behind it. It makes the poster too scattered.

Scanning

1. When you first scan you place the object you wish to scan on the scanner and close the lid. Then you open up photoshop and go to File (on the toolbar) and click Import then click Scanner. Then the Scanner will open up and you go to New Scan and properties will drop down from an arrow and you can adjust the amount of colors you want in the photo and the number of dpi you want. Then you hit New Scan and the photo will scan in. Then if you like the photo that scanned in, you will hit Accept. First you save the image as a .psd (photoshop image) and then you save it as a .jpeg image.

2. The descreen button takes away the wavy look that appears on your image when you scan it in. The wavy affect usually happens because the other side of the object is showing through. For example, the other side of the magazine page you are scanning. the descreen process consists of two different operations, screen removing and reducing a halftone miore pattern.

3. Dpi means dots per inch, which is pixels per inch in the photo, therefore if an image has lower resolution it will make it look grainy and a higher resolution will make the it look clear/sharp. Starting from left to right the first image is at a 360 dpi, 200 dpi and 72 dpi. You can notice the sharpness of the photo increase as the dpi increases.




4. These are my DDS's they were scanned in at 200dpi using a million colors or RGM. I think I should have scanned them in at different Dpi because the backround is blue from the white paper. I am not sure but I dont like how they turned out.

My first fashion communication's class

My first impression of my fashion communications class was that it was very exciting! I have never used photoshop before but have always wanted to. I have also never made a concept board, I am looking forward to that as well. I think they look so amazing when they all blend together to create one overall look, like the example Lea showed us in class. I was a little overwhelmed at first because I am studying fashion merchandising at my home university and don't have any interest in designing. After the class was over I was very eager to begin my blog and look at other fashion blogs I was interested in. I think this will be a very beneficial class to me overall.
