The document describes the process of developing a digital graphic of a sword. It discusses: - Choosing a sword design and scanning it. - Editing the scanned image on Pixlr to add detail and remove mistakes. - Changing the color of the sword's handle to a darker grey and adding more detailed designs. - Using tools on Pixlr like the pencil, paint brush, and eraser to further develop the design. - Filling the blade with grey to look like steel and adding blue and white details.

1. Concept Art

2. Development of My Digital Graphic
I had chose many swords for my game design
and I decided on choosing the one in the last
slide. I drew this by hand using a pencil then
scanned it by email so I could edit it on
Pixlr.com. I then developed it by adding detail
and accurate lines getting rid of all the mistakes
as you can see in the next slide.

4. As you can see in the slide
before the colour of the
swords handle has
changed I decided to
change this because I
believed a darker shade of
grey would look more
affective I also added
more detailed designs into
it as you can see I used
colours for the paint brush
tool and the eraser to get
rid of any mistakes.

5. I had to save my scanned image into my documents
then open the file up onto pixlr so I could trace it
using a sketchpad which we connected to the
computer. I used many tools to make my design
such as the pencil tool and with in that I used the
sketchy and shady tools as well as a plain one the
purpose of this was for it to look more professional.
I used different paint brush tools as well to add
colour to my sword I did this because my sword is
really basic and needed an aspect that stood out.

6. I used the colours grey to fill my blade in making
it represent steel and look more realistic and a
darker shade of grey to show the handles of the
sword. I used the colours blue and white to add
detail to the design. It is a very unique sword
which I made up from my imagination I have
never seen a design like this before.

7. Tools
To create my weapon I had to use a
number of tools on pixlr editor.
One tool I used was the paint brush I
used this to colour in my sword,
another tool I used was the crop tool
to remove all the bits I didn’t need.
I used the zoom tool to zoom into the
design so I could colour in the image
better. The pencil tool was very
beneficial to my design as I used it to
outline the weapon and give it edge.
I used the colour selector to choose
different colours for my weapon.

8. I think creating a tool on pixlr was a very tricky thing to
do, because I was not use to drawing on a sketchpad
and using the technique. My final design was in fact
the same as one of the first drawings I created. The
sword didn’t differ I just chose to add a different colour
to it and make it more original. If I had to redo this
experience I would make a more detailed design and
use more tools than I used before, I would also sketch
my designs better so it would be easy to work with on
pixlr editor.
