Front Page for 3 little pigs story

This is the pigs for the front page. I drawn the 3 pigs separately with pencil and paper after drawing them by hand I scanned them in. once they were saved on the computer I used my Graphic pad and drawn over the template after that I couloured them in. Now all I need to do is get the background off my team mate. To create the overall image for the front page.

This is my team mate Matthew's work he found a image on the internet and opened it in photoshop elements and changed different filters on the image to create this effect. He can't remember which filters he has used to get to this stage, which doesn't help for future images that i would like to look like this.

3 Little Pigs ideas

 

This is my rough idea for the different images we needed for each page.  As you read the story we have got the first half of it. The start of the writing talks about the first pig and what type of building materials he is going to use. So my first image is going to be the pig with straw in his mouth to show that he is going to build his house out of straw. The second image is the second pig holding a axe to show that he is going to to make his out of wood. The final pig is the pig that builds his house out of brick so it shows the pig stood with a trowel in its hand with three bricks layed beside him. The final image is the the straw house built with a wheel barrow full of straw just to show the audience a little bit more information about the house and which pig it is related to.

This is the story we are using so we can create some images for the story and turn it into a childrens book. We have been given half the story ech in two groups and were told to discuss our ideas and how we breaking the book down into 6 pages, and a idea for the image we are going to use for each page.

On this powerpoint we were looking at different childrens books from LadyBird, my tutor brought in some children books to look at there was Thomas The Tank Engine,  Tootle the Taxi and many more. I think that most of the books that we were shown were bright and colourful to be attractive to children it will be bold and mostly full of drawings, and less writing. The writing will be plain and simple for children to easily read for young children. I think the most popular childrens story is the Gruffalo.

Here are some propaganda posters I have found on the internet, I have seperated them between Brittish and German posters. I think all the posters in the slide shows are eye catching and they have a different layout to posters today. Also these posters have actualy been used during the war.

My Attempt at a Propaganda Poster

This is my propaganda poster. We were put into teams of three to create a propaganda we started to get some ideas going thenn once it came to actualy making the poster my team mates didnt do their part of the poster. So I end up doing it all by my self, I think that the background images should be changed because it looks too much, there is too much detail in the background people will concentrate more on the background than the actual images on the front. The text also needs to be changed because it doesnt look old fashioned which I was looking for. I really like the silhouetttes in the top right hand corner it shows the soldiers walking towards war with the aeroplane going over their heads.

This is the final image you should get from following the tutorial, which is hyperlinked if you want to try it yourself. The steps are easy to follow and has screen shots of what that stage should look like. This is a type of a old propaganda poster that anyone can create following the simple steps combined with photoshop elements.

Ideas for propaganda posters

In this lesson we were put into groups of three and had to think of some ideas to make our own propaganda poster in the teams. Our group came up with the idea of "Coca-Cola fuels the factorys". So we want a the poster to look old which is the main idea and to have the Coca-Cola logo on the poster somewere. Also a picture of a factory with convor belts showing bottles of Coca-Cola going into the factory and weapons or ammunition tins.

This an ammunition tin its purpose is to store rounds (bullets) inside to keep them safe from rubbish because if the end gets damaged it will not shoot.

This weapon is a L98 A1

Notes Taken During Lesson

• Most of Hitlers propaganda posters are mostly red and with dark colours.
• Brittish posters talk about hitler in most of them
• I think that the "Keep clam and carry on" poster is very plain and simple but very effective because of the the white writing on the red background.
 

My Attempt at advanced masking technique

Using the youtube video I followed the steps of how to do the masking technique.

After I cut out the model which is Cher I had to find another image for the background, so I looked for a image which matched the pose of the model. The reason I chosen this image off the internet is because I thought it would be a challange to mask around the hair and not leave the white bits in the curls.

I wanted the background to relate with the model because the starting image has a relaxing mood to it I think that this is because of the models pose. I found it difficult to cut around the hair because the way it goes with the curls but I think that the image has turned out better than I expected at the start of the lesson. The final image looks bright and bold I think I have completed the objective of the project it looks professional.
