Mr Fauzi is having a consultation section on class, giving us advice and suggestion for our self-titled poster sketch

Practical:

WORKING ON PROJECT 4 SELF-TITLED:

PART 2: Design Direction

1. Create a sketch for your work.

2. Create a digital poster for your work.

DIGITAL POSTER PROGRESS:

After taking pictures and researches, I crop them out using 'Quick Selection Tools'

Adding the material into the canvas

Add the letters

Use clipping mask to add wood grain texture onto the letters

Add Background

Work on the details on the door:

1. Add door knob

2. Add a darker wood grain at the center of the A Door 

(Make sure it still look like 'A')

3. Add a black shadow at the back to looks like there is another space inside the door

Add a light source behind the A Door:

1. Use 'Brush' to draw out a light

2. Choose 'Linear Dodge (Add)' layer 

3. Make some adjustment on the color to make it more warm

Add the sketch staircase and 'SMALL ME' on the small door

Minor Adjustment:

1. Frame: Make it darker

2. Me/Model: Brighter

3. Background: Lower down the brightness

REFLECTIVE WRITING:

After taking pictures, everything is going smooth. I spend some time to experiment with the elements, and finally a composition that I am satisfied with. We did quite a lot of practice before, I am more familiar with the tools now~
