Evaluation

In this project I feel I handled it well as we I knew what was expected and what I had to do in this term. I feel I struggled with certain things but I feel I did well on other things.

The things I feel I didn't do so well at was creating the mood boards and the story boards. I know Sharon went through it so many times and I did get the jist in the end but I felt that I can probably making it harder for myself than it should have been. I over came this problem by looking at other peoples using YouTube and even asking people on other courses for their opinions on my work to see what they thought of it and how I could improve.

I think what I did more this time was ask other people out side of my course what ideas they had on my word that I was given. Getting ideas from different people gives you inspiration that you never would have thought of.

I think I did well in the research of my given word and my chosen brand as I collected a few ideas for each, backed them up with why I decided on the idea and how it is relevant.

This term I liked shooting my images too, I liked being creative with the look I had chosen to do and I feel I tried my best in trying to portray that in the images that I decided to pick as my final ones.

The word I got I felt was really hard and a little boring as I could only think of words or paper - my word was "Browse". I think other people got something really interesting and you could go with so many ideas and mine wasn't as exciting but I went with it and I tried my best to produce and research a great image.

Problems in the studio were the lights either not working or the flashes not flashing and connecting together. This was a pain as I had to take it all down get different lights and then start again but I eventually got there. Also, the day helpers in the studios weren't that helpful, the lady didn't seem like she could be bothered to help us and so that made me feel uncomfortable asking for help from some one.

Everything else in this project I found really helpful, the sessions with Chris are always good and I find them really interesting using different lighting and boards to create light and shade. Also the different lenses for the camera to get the perfect eye shot or the perfect lip shot. I really enjoy those lessons! Peter was a massive help to me when I was editing my brand image and helping my create my PDF document too, he is very patient which is good!
Sharon is also always a great help, giving advice and inspiration when you need it filling your brain with ideas that you didn't think of.
All of the tutors are a massive help in helping create my final look and I'm really happy that we have that available.

Over all, I am really pleased with the outcome of my images, the editing, the shooting and the research really helps you get into the right frame of mind and getting what you want out of it.
I think if I was to do this project again I would love a more interesting word to base my image on but apart from that I wouldn't change anything.

Chosen Brand Image - Edited

Here is my final brand image, I firstly edited the image the same as I did on my other images using Adobe Bridge. I am really pleased with how the image came out and all the help from Peter in the lesson to help me get everything right in the editing stage.

Here is what I did to my images based on what tools and editing I did on the last images - Editing Final Image. The only major bit of work I feel I had to do on these images is around the eye on the right, and changing the brightness etc to get the image bright and the skin lovely and glowy like the Dior adverts.

Here is my before, after and the final piece -



Chosen Word Images - Edited

Here are the images that I have chosen for my final images, I chose these because they were my favourite ones! I like how the model is posing, the composition of the images and I haven't had to edit the images that much either.
I edited my images using the same tools as I did in the last project which you can see how I did it in this post - Editing Final Images

I have put the before and after images next to each other -

 





As you can see I haven't done much editing to the final images as I think they looked okay anyway. I added some more highlighting and changed the lighting to brighten it up a little bit too.
