Polar Demo

 First we had an image of New York and sized it down.
After We sized The main image down we then Duplicated the layer
The duplicated layer:
We dragged it along so it was Opposite the Main Image.
then we Rotated the duplicated the second image
Then we merged the 2 layers
then we cropped the image down
Then we flatted the image
Then we changed the image size to make a perfect square
The Image size
The Perfect square version of the original image and flipped it



Then we used the Polar coordinates setting and created a Circular image
Then we adjusted the levels
Made things darker
which created one of the final images
Otherwise we could have done:
We did another Version with exactly the same methods, except we didn't flip it
The Opposite of the first Final Image
The Second Final Image

Textures



First we had a picture of a cabbage. Then I coloured it red using the hue and saturation and cropped it. then i duplicated it and merged the layers















Then I added the letter “J” and flipped it. Then once again I duplicated it. (Transform tools)



Then I filled the screen with the image


Then i added some typography


 


Then I added the typography to the background image and then I copied and pasted it.

 

Which I then caused the colouring of the text to have the same image as the background


Then I added a black background to make my final outcome stand out even more.




















These are all graphite rubbing's that was done for texture examples. We have gone around the college and took rubbing examples of random textures that we could find and This is how they have come out.





 Image #1 a moon Effect
 Image #3 a Grass Effect
Image #3 Testing:




 Image #4 a fuzzy effect
 Image #2 a fabric effect
 Image #6 a Rocky Stone like effect
 Image #7 a Blue Gravel effect
Image #5 a Fibre optic Effect


Most these Photoshop textures where made using the same sort of technique e.g. :

-I choose my Two colour Options
-I go to Filter/Render/Clouds
-I open a Channels tab and select a new channel which is called Alpha 1
-I make a noise effect to make it fuzzy
-Then I give the image a Radial blur
-Then I go back into the layers tab and make the background into "Layer 0"
-After I go to Filter/ Render/ Lighting effects.. and Create a Light Region for my image
-Then when I'm happy with the work I Save The Image as a Photoshop PSD file and also as a Jpeg

I feel the most Successful where Image #5, Image #7 and Image #3 as these three are my favourite out of the 7 Images Created.
