Photoshop logo task

My final photoshop image looks like a good logo for a IT Ravenswood show, I have been able to incorporate some relevant pictures to my task and merge them for a final image. I am happy that my design looks whole and it makes sense, relevant to my topic, it is a IT session after school where things are out of hand. I was able to add my title accross the middle in a bright and bold coulour scheme, easier to see with my background. Some of my images had a green coulor to them to I was able to link that to Ravenswood's signature green coulor. There is also a clear example of the Ravenswood logo, what are show is all about.

I could have made my picture better if I had used some more advanced tools with my design as people may think it is just a bunch of images stuck on a page with text. I will make more of an effort to make my logo more dynamic and unique and use this to help improve my photoshopping skills .

Skills in Photoshop

Masking

Masking uses the Brush Tool or the Selection Tools to isolate portions of an image. The important part about masking is it leaves the original image completely intact, allowing you to easily make changes later. A Layer Mask is a gray scale map on top of a layer that displays the layer where the map is white and hides the layer where the map is black.

Robocop

As me , i geek out IMDb looking for new films and interesting facts, and i saw while back, Robocop, i thought Great another Hollywood remake to take in lots of money, then i saw the trailer i think i may be right. Robobcop is a classic film brilliant and action packed, Peter Weller was a perfect fit, and after Robocop i just cant help to compare with the original it just wont match up, we need another Clarrence Bodicker! I mean look at this, yeah 1987 us bulkier and more mechanic looking but at least he is Robo! Whats with the hand? It just looks like armour to me, and old 1987 will always shine bright of the city of Detroit, 2014 will just see, what the hell is that floating red line?

Waterloo road case study

                                                            Waterloo Road Case Study

This is the Waterloo Road Logo

It is made up of Tables and Desks looking trashed and messy with all of the students stuff everywhere. They may have chosen this as it is set in a school and this is school desks, we also get an impression of a messy disorganised school full of trouble makers that it is.    

 Here is a set of character they are some of the staff at Waterloo roads, some of them can be considered  as a stereotype,for example an old grouchy and grumpy teacher, preferably bald. Also a young attractive secretary. There is also i wide range of cast members ranging from ages, social groups, ethnicities and sex.

Waterloo road is on on Wednesdays at 8PM on BBC One, this is just before the watershed so kids will be likely to be going to bed right now so older kids and adults can watch this without distraction, or exposing their young children the inappropriate stuff, possibly giving them bad influences.
