3. Raster Graphics
Raster is made up of bitmaps- these are made
up of millions of pixels/coloured pixels.
Resizing pictures used by bitmaps can distort.
TIFF is an example of a flexible bitmap image
format supported by virtually all paint, imageediting, and page-layout applications.
4. Vector Graphics
Vectors are made up of paths, strokes or vectors.
Vectors are good when you want to enlarge an
image as well as make the image smaller as
the image is defined by start to end.
Good for logos for turn them from:
-business cards
To:
-billboards

13. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
That it actually looks like a penguin and the use of colours.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Different use of shapes and blend in the colours in so they don’t look like separate blocked
shapes.
Get a larger image to make it easier to shape around it.
15. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
How a like the picture looks and all the detail put in, especially on the hair flower and the face by using colour range to give it
dynamism and gradient specially on the shadows to make it blend into the face and to make it look natural. I used the colour
selectable to get the actually colour of each feature. I detailed the eye by doing a zigzag around the pupil of the eye to make
the effect of the different shades of the eye which made it more natural than using gradient.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Id get rid of where the colour range make more of a dirty effect to the shadowing and change the cheeks by either change opacity
or by using colour range.
Id make the edges less sharp, especially the hair by just talking more time and detail.
17. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The font and the colouring suited well with the picture, making it easy to see but still the similar colours to the image.
The writing fits well with the top of the image.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Id add more detail as it is a little plain although simple is nice. Id do this by shaping the writing round the image more and also
playing around with more fonts and maybe putting the image inside the writing to see how that would work.
19. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I love the detail if the microphone heads which I did by using colour range and lowing the opacity so it didn’t look to realistic to
the actually image it originated from. The colours suited well as media is colourful. I liked the way it fitted the word media in
perfectly and the microphones all pointed towards the print based.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Id add more detail to the more colourful areas as it is just one blocked colour unlike the metal areas of the image. Although I liked
this font I could of played round to find a better more suited font to fit.

Content
My design idea originated from the quote “I’m just so romantic, I think I should just go marry
myself” off the Disney film monsters inc said by mike wazowski.
My idea is to Rota scope mike from a forward facing image of him using photoshop.
Also on photoshop I will rota scope wedding accessories on to mike, such as a groom hat, flowers,
veil etc.. To then split him up in half, Making half of the mike the bride and other half is the groom.
For the background I want to have the Disney castle (Cinderella's castle) which is also Disney's
logo. I only want the outline of this image, to then place mike onto the front of the image.

30. Peer Evaluation
What are the strengths of the final image?
•
I really like the font how it rounds with the shooting star and how there’s dots in some of it. I also think its been rotoscoped
really well. I like how the hat is in two halves and the colours all look really good together.
What could be developed if the image was
repeated?
•
I really like it how it is so I wouldn’t make any changes.
31. Peer Evaluation
What are the strengths of the final image?
•
I like how Mike looks 3D due to the darker green at the top, the lighter green at the bottom, and the shading on his arms and legs. I also
like the detail on his toes such as the nails and the black along the edge of his toes.
What could be developed if the image was
repeated?
•
I would add a drop shadow on the the castle to make it look like mike isn’t just floating. I feel that this would also get rid of the fact that
it is a very flat edge making the two colours seem very blunt against each other. I would make it so just the bottom faded to the actual
bottom of the box, and maybe add the same star that is at the top on to the bottom part, to give off the impression that the theme of
the star runs throughout. I would also add a very thin trim to certain parts of the image to give it more definition.
32. Peer Evaluation
What are the strengths of the final image?
.What I like about this image is the nice choice of pink background and purple for the
Disney castle which blends really well as they are similar shades. I like the use of the
Disney font for the quote above and the use of different colours for it which gives it a
cheery feel and goes well with the nature of the design. Mike is rotoscoped well and
goes nicely with the image.
What could be developed if the image was
repeated?
The green shade for Mike’s body stands out a little too much. Also, several words in the
quote clip with the castle spire which makes it look a bit untidy. A possible way to fix this
would be to use spacing and place the words around the spire, which will create a nice,
clean look.

it is something they’ll be

Mike would appeal to

since the new film has just
come out and was a big
hit.
Disney is something
everyone can
understand as you’re
shown it from a young
age especially with our
day and age television
(Disney junior and
Disney channel).
Each Disney film has a
different educational
element which teaches
them a moral.
36. What do you like/dislike about the techniques you have used?
I don’t like the choice of
colours used for the star as
it fades too much that its
hard to see which was
done by gradient, next
time I should use darker
colours of yellow to make
it stand out more.
I rotascoped mike and used
gradient and colour overlay
which I think works really well
as it is blocked colours that
blend in which helps the 3D
effect of him. I used colour
range for his eye using the
original photos colour and I
think it works really well and
brought the opacity down so
its not too much like the
original.
For the font I used
colour overlay and
gradient and I like it
I just wish it was a
bit more visible this
is due to the font
size being small.
I don’t like how the castle is one
blocked colour I would like to use
gradient next time instead of colour
overlay.
37. What do you like/dislike about how your final product looks?
For the shooting star
I used gradient on 2
different yellows I
think it would have
been best if I used a
darker colour as
yellow is sometimes
hard to see, so the

are hard to be seen, I did the dots by using
the shape tool.
The detail of the castle is
excellent. I did this by selecting

Disney styled t-shirt with the use of

For mike and the hat I just used the colours that
they were already as I wanted to keep them the
same and for everyone to know who the character
is. I did this with gradient and overlay I used it to
get a good sharp image.
39. What style have you employed in your products?
This image from
redbubble influenced
me as I wanted to do
an image inside
another image and
liked the way this had
been done.
http://disneyandquotes.tumblr.com/page/5
This quote I got off
tumblr is what
influenced the whole
picture, I wanted to do a
t-shirt based around this
quote.
It was influence
from the film
monsters inc the
first one. I kept
the style of
monsters inc in
quote by using
suitable colours
and the colours
of mike was kept
the same.
Rotascoping:
I used rotascoping because I am better skilled at it
that I am shape forming and I also like the visual
style the rotascoping gives. Its less time consuming
and gives a better effect and got the outer layer of
mike and castle perfectly. The castle would have
been to complicated to of used shape on.
Disney influenced all of the image
from the font, to the castle (Disney’s
logo) character and the quote which
came from a Disney character.

What were the strengths and weaknesses of the pre-production and planning
How did the planning and research help
Reference specific examples
Research helped
me find my
quote.
Its hard coming up
with own idea
after looking at
loads of others so
its best to find
inspiration
through quote or
image found.
Idea of
rotascoping
Designs I found on redbubble helped
me come up with ideas, I search manly
Disney based ones. But I liked the way
the character or quotes was used.
41. Analyse each of your final print products commenting on the strengths, weaknesses and aspects you would do
differently if you were to repeat the project
I think juts doing
the one colour
range in the right
place with this was
a good idea as it
showed the right
detail and the other
areas see through
so when its on the
t-shirt the back
ground would show
through.
Next time I would want to let more detail show
through and take a bit more time. Using
rotascoping more on the detail on the clothing.
Rotascoping was only used on the coloured
areas.
The fewer detail is the weaker area of the
image and would improve the image
dramatically.
My rotascoping on mike
is the strongest part of
the image with how
detailed he is through
the colour (overlay and
gradient) adding
shadowing and fine
detail to different areas
of mike. Specially his eye
which was done with
colour range.
The castle has a lot of great detail around the
outside and inside but it looks too fat making it
weak and needs to look more 3D to fit it with the
rest of the image (mike). The writing is also weak
due to going slightly over the spire of the castle.
Both of these I'd like to change adding gradient
and spacing.
42. Peer Feedback
Agree:
I agree with this completely, as the
castle does look very flat compared
to mike who looks 3D this would of
made my image a lot sharper and
this is what I would of said to of
changed if I was to do it again.
This I didn't realise until it was pointed out here, now
I've noticed it is quite annoying, this is something i’d
definitely change and I'll make sure I look more
carefully next time when I'm finishing up and going
over my work and putting finishing touches.
Disagree:
I didn't disagree with much of my
peer evaluation as I took all of it into
account and agreed with it all but the
only one I disagree with is this one. As
I wanted mike to stand out as he is
the most important part to my image
and they are just the colours that he
is and if I changed that he wouldn't
look as good. Instead of changing
mike id make the back ground stand
out more.
