My Finished Product







As you can see from the picture above, the dragon has some white bits on it. This is due to the printer not working properly and not printing the ink onto the paper correctly. This limited me when I need I came to printing since I knew it wasn't going to be as good as it could be. However, a lot of resources were available to me during the making of this book. This included Art based resources such as inks, paper, paint and those sorts of things, as well as ICT based resources such a the internet, photoshop, printers etc. I had quite a big time limit in my opinion, and this ment that I could use my time effectively and make it look how I wanted it too and made sure it was to a high standard. It also allowed me to practice and learn new skills such a learning how to use the graphics tablet better, and learning the shortcuts off-by hand. The outcome of this gave the book a more of a rough-look.








In the photos above, I have created a Pop-up book using mainly photoshop. I have learnt a lot about photoshop during the making on the pages and pop-ups. The thing that I found most difficult is that I had to try and find a way to make it look realistic and I hadn't done anything like this before but I managed to make it look good. The way that I overcame this is that I used gradients to make the colours go from one to another, making it look more realistic and less blocky. I also used the blur effect to create darker tones in the composition. I think that using these made it look more realistic and gave it a professional look.

Working Progress - Photoshop




Here are a few print screens of me working in Photoshop. I originally made the pop-ups in real life with card, then scanned them in and enhanced them on photoshop.
