initial plans Dead Space
- 2. Initial Reaction I want to aim my FMP around photoshop. This could include, editing photos, adding an art over an image or something else including the editing of images. I feel that my skills are mainly in photoshop and the ability to draw, I want to incorporate these 2 skills into my Final project. My opinions of the final project are positive, I love the free range that I am given for this project. Allowing me to aim at any audience with any product which they might like and want to purchase themselves. My best skills include: - photoshop - drawing - creativity Using these skills, I can develop an idea around these 3 traits. And as I mentioned before, I want to make my final project more commercialised, as opposed to a generic project. This would allow me to continue said project as a business venture. Overall my opinions of this project are: - interested - enthusiastic - creative - developing Using these reactions, I want to put my full attention to creating a product that a customer would see in their house, and hopefully to inspire others to take a similar route when it comes to editing. I can see a future where photos and videos have this extra improving as a standard.

- 7. Mood Board Analysis One main thing to take from my mood board: is the complexty of colours. I want to refelct this in my work. The reason I used images like these on my mood board, is to reflect the "Dead Space" art. It will use these quick variations of colours, in a flowing, mystic and psychdelic way. Colours, tho static, seem to move on the page, giving the image that touch of motion and a slight difference each time you look at it. A nice complement to a static still image. Another thing to take away from the mood board is the colours used. As I said earlier, the colours are complex, im referring to the useage on the page. The colours tend to switch from one part of the colour wheel to the next in quick succession. This will be incorporated into my work, but the twist I will turn into "Dead Space" is the blending of these colours. I want the colours to merge, like wet water colours would do on a dry piece of paper. I tried to illistraight this on the mystic mood board, where there were not as many black lines, and more of a flow when it came to the colours. The main objective of my mood boards, was to display the style I want to take my "Dead Space" art. The main way I could do this at an early state was to find 'similar' forms of art which mildly reflected the way I wanted to used colours on selected images. The mood board will have a large impact on my final product, as I choose the photos to illustrate my style of digital drawing. When in production, I can come back to this mood board to come back to my original perspective on this project.
- 8. potential images I wanted to gather some images that I think would be complemented nicely by this art form. As a brainstorm, I got some images from a holiday in 2018, and looking at all of the images: There are areas that would go well with the "Dead Space" art form. The main thing I look for in an image, is a gap between colours. For example, a dark character in front of a light background, this would make it clear for me to sperate this character or object as a new layer, then I could put "Dead Space" in and around the character. It would be more difficult to do this, if there wasn’t a shift in colour.
- 9. My initial thoughts of the brief is that I want to incorporate both my drawing talents with my photoshop talents. This will hopefully look good enough for customers to want to spend money on my project. I'm relying on my drawing skills to improve the images that people send me to edit. I'm planning to make an edit over photos, where a customer sends in an image for me to put my draw edit over. This will hopefully improve the image for the customer as they have come to me for my edit over the image. My skills which I will need is mainly within photoshop, drawing and creativity. I don’t want to copy paste my edit over each photo, I want each one to feel individual and unique each time. So that the customer feel like they have bought a worth buying, and hopefully they will use my style again on their photos. I personally like this idea, because its new and unique. There are some people who improve the quality of photos, but I'm doing more than that. I'm adding an edit over the photo to add that extra touch which the customer will hopefully appreciate.
