Adobe Illustrator Experimentation

This is what I have done, while I was using Adobe Illustrator for the first time, I experimented with different fonts, shapes, text and effects in general. This was also my first time using this program as I have never used this program before. I will be using this program to create my own masthead, which will be used in the magazine front cover. I will also be using this program to edit all my text which I will be using not only for my masthead but for the cover lines, strap lines and anything else that is enlisted as typography.

Adobe Illustrator notes

Adobe Illustrator induction

-Vector NOT pixel – based

-        -  Allows for highest quality graphics

-        -  Works well with other with other CS programs e.g. Photoshop or InDesign

-          - Anchor points mean you can manipulate

-          -Selection tool and direct selection tool

-        -  Direct selection tool allows you to move anchor points and handles

-          -Stroke – outline a shape (giving different texture of changing font)

-          -Opacity – can make it more or less opaque

-          -Keep “layers” toolbar open. Lock layers that you are not working on (keeps image from not moving -away)

-         - Free transform : for moving things

-          -You can create text within shapes or following lines using the area type tool

-Make sure you are happy with your masthead, before you right click and create outlines / manipulate. This create vector anchor points.

-          -Colour pallet. Swatches can be chosen from the menu.

-         - Export à file à export à PNG. Resolution = PPI (High). Transparent background. (Allows the background to be clear and the image to be of high quality.

-          -Always save the file as an Adobe illustrator file, to go back to improve work back on adobe illustrator

Photo Studio notes

Photostudio notes

Today I had a trip in to the photography studio to have a photo-shoot induction using the studio.As I do photography as an AS subject, I found the studio - photography slightly easy to configure around as well as had knowledge about studio photography.

DSLR (Camera) : The DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) I will be using is the Nikon D7000, it is a 18 Mega pixel camera and has the storage of 16 - 32 GB.

Back drop : In the studio the first noticeable surroundings I was aware of was the white backdrop, the reason for having a white backdrop is to display an individual to have a clear background in the images taken from the camera, there is also a black backdrop for the same reasons for the white backdrop.

Infrared - All the equipment used is infrared connected meaning, they have to be close to interact together

Lights : Before taking pictures in the studio the light must be switched OFF

Cautions : Model must be away from the backdrop around 5/6 feet away, if they are close to the backdrop then they will be bleached within the backdrop on camera.

The lights and equipment I am going to use is called "Trinity flashlight" 

On each of the equipment soft boxes , grids and snoot there is a + and - button, this is to either increase or decrease the lighting. The numbers displayed are 1 - 6 (1 being the lowest of light) and (6 being the highest of light)

Godox : A godox is a device which is on the camera it connects to the softbox, grid and snoot through infrared. The godox is delicate and battery operated 

Exposure - In photography, exposure is the amount of light per unit area reaching the film, as determined by shutter speed, lens aperture and light. If the film is over exposure the film will turn black, if the film is under exposure the film will go white.

SHUTTER SPEED – Slow shutter speed combined with panning the camera can achieve a motion blur for moving objects. In photography, shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is proportional to the exposure time. Controls the length of time the film or sensor is exposed to light.

The length of time the shutter is open is called the ‘shutter speed’. It is calibrated in fractions of a second usually

30, 15, 8, 4, 2, 1, ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000

Aperture - an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane.

Shallow Depth of field - Shallow Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appears acceptably sharp in an image. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance at a time, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on each side of the focused distance. This also blurs the background while focusing on the object in the front.

ISO - In very basic terms, ISO is the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light, while a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your camera.

Call Sheet

This is a Call Sheet I have created, this displays all details about my photoshoot, in which I planned out with all the equipment I used details and names also the whole reason on why I have created the call sheet.
