DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY & IMAGING / WEEK 07

WEEK 07 - 18.05.2023

LECTURE - Double Exposure.

During week 7, our primary focus was on learning the technique of double exposure, which is merging multiple images together to create a visually captivating effect. We explored various methods to create a double exposure in Adobe Photoshop, including utilizing the Tilt-shift effect, creating fake reflections with silhouettes, and other techniques. Additionally, we delved into the concept of blend modes in Adobe Photoshop, which play a role in achieving the desired visual impact when merging multiple images.

TUTORIAL - Double Exposure.
In the tutorial and practical section, We watched a video tutorial that guided us through the process of creating double-exposure artwork using Adobe Photoshop. Following the instructions in the video, we successfully completed our first exercise. Upon the skills we acquired, we then applied our knowledge to create a unique double-exposure artwork using our own photographs.

Progress in Poster Design :

Part 1: Research About The Topic.

After thoroughly studying the 12 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), I selected one as the central theme for my poster. I decided on the story I wanted to convey through the poster, ensuring it aligned with the chosen SDG. To enrich my design process, I explored various visual references on Pinterest, drawing inspiration and ideas to enhance the overall aesthetic and impact of the poster.

Summary About My Topic :
I would like to produce an artwork that related to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13, specifically climate action and its connection to deforestation and life on land. Climate action is the global efforts to address impacts of climate change through reducing emissions, adopting sustainable practices, and promoting renewable energy, aiming for a sustainable future. The artwork should emphasize a strong contrast in its content. The artwork seeks to create a profound impact on viewers, compelling them to recognize the effects of climate change and the need for immediate climate action. Besides, also aims to raise awareness and inspire individuals to actively engage in sustainable practices and advocate for a better future.

Part 2: Clarify My Concept.

I produced two initial sketches for my poster design to provide a clearer direction before proceeding with the final artwork.
