Digital Graphics Evaluation

The colour scheme used for my design was quite bold, the colours jump out at you and are very visible and vibrant while still keeping in with the theme. The colour palette was quite limited because I didn't want to over do it without and need for it. I chose the colours to fit in with the theme and with what they were supposed to represent, the red baron was red, the tank was a normal army green colour, etc. I think that the colours I used were successful because it all came out really well and it all fits together and works together

I didn't use any text in my design as I didn't think that it was necessary

I think that my design reflects the theme very well as it showcases some of the more memorable things from world war 1, such as the Red Baron, the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand and the Mk IV Tank. The imaginary is quite abstract as none of the things pictured would be in the same place/same scale.All of the images used in this design are photographs and have been altered in some way or another. If I had the room or ideas for more memorable items from the first world war, then yes there would be more images used in the design.

For all of the editing I used Photoshop. All of the images have had their original backgrounds removed using a very precise eraser tool instead of the magnetic lasso tool or the magic wand tool as they tend to leave a lot of pixel marks on images with lower resolution, so I used a very small eraser to very carefully erase the backgrounds from the images. The images would later be re scaled and put into their positions. Then the threshold of the image would be changed to take away from of the detail and make it a more blobby sort of shape. Then I would use the dissolve option mixed in with a coloured backgrounds for all the images to give them this very colourful look.

I'm really happy with how this image came out and I think the most successful thing about it is the editing. A lot of time and work went into all the editing and I think it all payed off very well.
