Photoshop, infographics and pedestrian movement

Photoshop

This was my first ever attempt at using photoshop. While the outcome is definitely unsatisfactory, I had spent many hours and lots of effort into this image. Considering that it is my first try, I am very proud of myself and what I have created. 

However, I agree that many improvements could have been made to make this photoshopped image much more realistic. I could and should have used a different background image, one that is brighter and of better quality. Originally, I believed that the contrast between the area in the sun and the other half in the shade would make for a great background and an interesting photoshop outcome. but now that I know better, I would definitely have used a photo with a lot more natural light.



Infographics

this took me a few days of consistent work to complete as it took me hours to individually create the little icons that represent each faculty. Many changes were made to this infographic (i saved this final version over my original copy) to make the group submission look better. Some changes made include changing the shape of the infographic (from a curved graph to a drop-down bar graph) and the overall colour scheme (from a blue and coral combination to this pastel palette).


Pedestrian Movement

I chose to do a 3d looking building and a floorplan for the other to give my image more variety in terms of the type of information conveyed. However, it seems to have made my image look messier instead...

5 models

Image
My first model is a parabolic paper folding that was heavily inspired by the crystals I have on my study table. I thought the holes in the middle of the crystals looked like beautiful and mysterious caves that would be a joy to explore. then I remembered the entrances to Singapores underground train systems or more commonly referred to the MRTs. the entrances are normally cubish in shape and rather unsightly ( in my opinion). I realised that my parabola would look really great as an entrance as it could replicate the feeling of entering the crystal caves. in my model, I added some rice grains to certain layers of the paper folding to mimic the crystal formations. I placed them in the "ceiling" of the entrance as commuters would be able to see them as they entered and exited the MRT station.   My second model is what I call a "moving pathway" as I was heavily inspired by nature and more organic shapes and properties when making my models, I wanted to create...

Group Assessment 1

Image
Here are the compiled images of our hard work! Photoshop Despite the difference in our chosen backgrounds, we made attempts to connect each photoshopped image together and bring across a sense of fluidity between our photos. However, we decided to separate our images to make the whole combined image look less messy. In hindsight, this may have affected our main goal of creating a flow between our respective works. Infographics My personal favourite as it looks the most cohesive amongst all our combined images. I love the pastel colour scheme as it gives off a very soft and demure feeling. Pedestrian Movement We tried to show that our image could look smooth and combined despite the differences and irregularities in our mapping. Composite images This was edited to include drawings and photos that were taken by our group members.
