Typography

One of my Professor discuss is about the "Anatomy of Typography". Typography is a technique of arranging type to make beautiful. Each part of a letter has a parts. As you can see in the picture below, this is the parts of typography:

The strokes of a letter may be curved (open or close) and straight (horizontal, diagonal or vertical)

There are many fonts with different styles . or design. In typography, the font family or they called typeface is a set of one or more fonts each composed of glyphs (elemental symbol) that share common design features.

File Formats

What is File Formats?

A file format is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file. It specifies how bits are used to encode information in a digital storage medium. File formats may be either proprietary or free and may be either unpublished or open.

There are as many different file formats as there are different programs to process the files:

-Word documents (.doc)Web text pages (.htm or .html)

-Web page images (.gif and .jpg)
-Adobe Postcript files (.ps)
-Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf)
-Executable programs (.exe)
-Multimedia files (.mp3 and others)

There are many different file formats in images, videos, music, and so on.

For images

For audio/ music

For videos

I learned the different file formats and what is the most useful compared to others.

Using "Brush"

MY "LOGO DESIGN"

Typography & Logo

We discuss about the "TYPOGRAPHY" and the "LOGO".

In typography, when designing layouts and setting type, it is important to understand the basics of working with text, line spacing, and letter spacing. I know how to use tracking- (which refers to uniform spacing between all of the letters in a group of text. By increasing tracking in a word, line of text, or paragraph, a designer can create a more open and airy element) and leading- (the distance between the baselines in the paragraph) and different "CHARACTERS". I know how to use warped text.

There are different types of logo:

- Text Based

- Emblem/ Ionic

- Illustrative/ Illustration 

The characteristics of a good logo design:

- 2 colors or less

- simple

   

The continuation in using Photoshop and Brush tool

Im so happy because I know what are the basics and techniques using Photoshop and I know the variety of tools and how to use it. Many tools typically fall under the categories of drawing; painting; measuring and navigation; selection; typing; and retouching.

DIFFERENT TOOLS IN PHOTOSHOP

One of the most tool that most exciting, the "Brush tool". In using this tool, you can make your own brush styles like for example, "Stickers/ Colorful stickers" and there are different styles like watercolor, real smoke, real blood splatters and etc. They discuss about the "Brush tip shape" (Color Dynamics, Scattering, Texture, Dual Brush, Color Dynamics, Transfer, Noise, Wet Edges, Airbrush, Smoothing and Protect Texture). 

My Artworks:

"Dried Blood Splatter" Brush

 "Watercolor and Real Smoke" Brush

Puppet Warp and Content- Aware

I learned how to use "PUPPET WARP" in Photoshop. It is useful when you want to bend or to move your object/ image that you want to warp like a puppet. In using this tool, you can use to make "stop motion".

This is the example of "Puppet Warp

In step by step to use this tool, open an image you want to warp whether it is a person, thing, animals or etc. that has been isolated from their background. Click edit> Puppet Warp and click to place pins in everywhere example in this image, the pins place in joints. You might place a pin at the wrist, shoulders, elbows, hips, neck,ankles, and knees. Click on the pins you’ve placed and drag to move that point in space. Photoshop automatically warps the pixels controlled by this point to create a new composition for the body parts you've selected.

I learned how to use "CONTENT-AWARE". It is painstaking to use this. It is use to remove the unwanted elements/ objects.

Before and after when you use content- aware
