This document summarizes Demi Broadhead's work on various digital graphic narrative development exercises, including feedback on shape tasks, rotoscoping, film quotes, text-based work, and initial ideas/proposals for a narrative environment project. For each exercise, Demi provides what they liked about their work and what they would improve. Some strengths highlighted include effective use of color, texture, and warping tools to represent shapes realistically, and attention to detail in rotoscoped faces. Areas for improvement mentioned are choosing more complex subjects for shape tasks, adding more texture, and experimenting more with effects and layouts for different pieces.

What did you like about your image?
I liked that my image included colours that were almost identical to the ones in which were
included on the original image. This helped my image to create a realistic feel and make the
shapes represent the animal more. In addition, I like that the shapes I have included in my
Image aren’t just standard shapes; the use of the warp tool helped me to change the shape of
some of my shapes to make them look more similar to the shape of the animals body parts.
The use of texture on my panda shape task is effective; it helps the ears to look like they have
fur on them rather than just using a solid colour. This use of texture can also be seen in my
second shape task of a Chihuahua on its paws; this shows the fur on them and makes the
animal have more realistic features apposed to just flat colour.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I were to recreate my image I would choose a more difficult animal such as an insect;
particular these animals have a lot more body parts and details. Insects are also small meaning
that their would be a lot of intricate detail which would need to be carried out meaning it
would be more of a challenge to create. Additionally, I would add some more texture to certain
parts of the animals body to give it a more realistic feel and to add some more depth to the
image so It didn’t look as flat.

5. Rotoscope

6. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
In my rotoscope I particular like the amount of detail in which I included into the face a and
hair; I feel that by adding extra amounts of detail in different colours it has helped to sculpt
the image more. I feel like my image portrays the chosen celebrity of Matt Healy well; the
choice of colours is almost exact to the ones used In the original image. This use of colour
helps to give the image a more realistic feel; the colour overlay tool was helpful when making
this image as I could use the colour choosing tool to pick a colour from the original image and
it would match it up as best as possible. I was then able to amend this and change the tone
of the colour to make it slightly more light or dark until I felt it displayed the original image
better.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to recreate a rotoscope then I would spend some more time on the facial features
especially the mouth and eyes; I feel like the shape of these features aren't’t very accurate. In
addition, I would add some texture to my image to make the image appear more realistic;
the use of more detail on the skin and hair would allow my image to have more depth and
not appear as flat to the page. The jacket and shirt of my rotoscope also lacks detail and
depth; it appears to look flat and it’s just one block of solid colour therefore, I would add
more detail to the clothing aspects of the image to be on par with the detail added to the
face.

7. Film Quotes

8. Film Quotes

9. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the roto scope and comic effect that were combined and used in my first film quote
image; I feel that these two effects work well together to create a contrast. I also like the
font that was used for the quote; I used a warp tool and also the stroke tool to make the
font look more bold and eye catching. In my second image I like the use of comic book effect
on this still image, I feel like it gives the image an abstract look. The use of font also gives a
good effect as it is alongside the arrow which gives the effect that the text is moving with
the arrow.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to re-make a film quote image I would try a new approach on the comic effect; I
would add some colour to it and also make the threshold levels higher to try and get a more
darker effect on the image. I would also try to create a film quote using just text; I could
have the font filled in with an image from the movie to give it a better effect.

10. Text Based

11. Text Based

12. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the use of stoke on some of my font; I feel like this made the font look more bold and
stand out better. I like the use of the warp tool on this font also, I feel like it can help to give
the font more of an abstract look as you can move certain parts of the font. In addition,
using an image and putting it in the font can make your font more interesting and give it
more of a vibrant feel depending on what you want to place in the font. I like the use of
space in which you can add between the lettering in the font; this can give it more of an
abstract look and help to fill up space on a page, or help to fit the font into smaller places by
compressing the letters closer together.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to create some more text based images again I would experiment using different
colours and a range of more techniques. Rather than just using the extremes of each effect
in which you can add to the font I would create some text based images in different sizes
and styles.
