Unit 23 Graphics: Super Villain Update, My Final Iteration.

I have added some mid-tones and highlights for effect on the cape to make it look worn out and ragged. As-well as this I have included a lightning bolt effect protruding from his hand to give an effect of his power. I have also added a whirlwind effect underneath his feet to show that he has the ability to hover. I have also included a layer where I have sketched out part of one of the background buildings. Finally, I used the magic wand tool to select part of an image. In this case, I selected some electricity to add to my characters hand to give the effect that he is wielding a weapon, his own power, channeling through his fingers, ready to be used. I am very pleased with my design and very glad the final outcome turned out the way it did.

This year has been my first time using Photoshop in a way that I can understand its tools and use them in an effective way. I am very glad to say that I have learn't how to use many new tools and aspects of graphic manipulation to help me for the Information Technology course I plan to take in the future.

Unit 23: Graphics - Almost finished design of my villain!

The only things I have left to add now are some mid-tones and hightlights on the colours for effect and to maybe add a fingertip lightning effect. I have not completely decided whether to add the lightning effect in or not because it could be a challenge but I will do it if I have time.

I managed to add in a background for my splash art which shows my villain floating within a city bringing down lightning upon it. I'm also close to finishing off the annotations.

I used the free transform tool to enlarge my chosen background image without it becoming pixelated and distorted. Free transform allowed me to keep the image crisp and sharp to look as good as possible for the overall design.
