File Formats
Raster Graphics
Raster Graphics are made up of Bitmaps, which are made up of millions of tiny pixels. It has 3 file types; they are JPEG, TIFF and PSD. 1 megapixel = 1,000,000 pixels and the higher amount of pixels, the more data is takes up and the images also have a enhanced resolution.
Vector Graphics
Vector Graphics are defined by a start and an end, which can be points, squares, triangles, curves and angles. Vectors have 2 file types; they are AI and 3DS. These files dont lose the image quality when resized, either larger or smaller. They look better on devices because of the higher resolution.
JPEG
Stands For Used For Joint Photographic Expert Group Used on the internet, mainly for social networking and for sending pictures in general, can be used on most electronic devices. - You can send them to whoever, wherever, through email, phones and internet. - Small, compact files so they dont take up much data - Is quick to upload the file - You get information about the picture, eg. Size and the colour information
Advantage
Disadvantage
- Loses the photo quality when opened, edited or saved numerous times due to compression and recompression
TIFF
Stands For Used For Tagged Image File Format Saving multiple images to one single file, compacts it together. Popular with Graphic Designers. -When open, edited or saved, the images have lossless, which mean they dont lose the quality of the image. -Can be sent easily to other users- flexible format - Can represent anything from fax images to compressed photographs. -They are very large files, which means they would take up a lot of data on the system. -The uncompressed TIFF files can take up more space than a JPEG file can
Advantage
Disadvantage
PSD
Stands For Used For Photoshop Document
Image Manipulation and editing, but only on Photoshop -They can be saved in layers, so you can change certain parts of the image - They are used for front covers of magazines because of the layering technique - PSD files can preserve layers like vectors, making them suitable for importing and exporting data. -They are large files, and they can be only used in Photoshop, so has to be changed to JPEG to be sent to users without Photoshop. - Very few programmes will be able to open a PSD file.
Advantage
Disadvantage
AI
Stands For Used For Adobe Illustrator Art
Logo creations
Advantage
-They can be scaled to various sizes, from business card to billboard, because of the vector graphics as they wont lose quality or deteriorate. - The programme has very similar tools to Photoshop which makes it easy to use. -Large files - Very time consuming - Small errors may become visible if image is enlarged too much
Disadvantage
3DS
Stands For Used For 3D Studio
3D modelling, animation, characters. Used in TV, Film and for Video Games - Flexible format - Encourages interactivity with the programme - Used in large industries for saving files for their software projects
Advantage
Disadvantage
- Expensive, time consuming and very large files - There are a limited amount of programmes available that will open the file, so it would be difficult to view the file.
Shape Task
Evaluation
What did you like about your image? I like the different shapes that make the penguin, because its easy and circular. What would you improve if you did it again? I would make it neater because the face looks very messy.
Rotoscope
Evaluation
What did you like about your image? I like the detail on his face and jacket because it makes it look more realistic. What would you improve if you did it again? I dont know if I would change it because I really like how it turned out.
Text Based
Evaluation
What did you like about your image? I like how the colours go together and with the clipping of the music notes within the word music. I also like how the word pain is in a different font and colour. What would you improve if you did it again? I think I would choose different colours because I feel that they dont go with the quote.
Logo Creation
Evaluation
What did you like about your image? I think the monkey is the best one because its different, whereas the rest are very plain and simple. What would you improve if you did it again? I would make the logos better, maybe by using different shapes to create them.

Proposal
Dimensions 2400 x 3200 Pixels
Export Format
PNG Advantages; compatible with redbubble and also can save transparency and opacity Disadvantages; larger file size Content My t-shirt design will be different photos of Rihanna within her name; the photos will be of similar context. It will be plain and simple with no colour.
These images will be within the letters indicated by the black arrows
Peer Evaluation
What are the strengths of the final image? I think my final image is great because its neat and all the images are individual within the certain space. What could be developed if the image was repeated? I would try out different techniques, and I wouldnt use her name so I would just have an image.
T-Shirt Evaluation
What were the strengths and weaknesses of the pre-production and planning
In the beginning I had lots of ideas which did make it difficult to choose I final idea, but I did also have lots to time, so it made it easier to consider my options. I particularly liked the multi-coloured elephant and The Weeknd t-shirt, although I branched out and did something completely different because I didnt think Id be able to achieve anything like that because my skills arent up to that standard. The planning and research definitely helped me to come up and produce my final product.
Analyse each of your final print products commenting on the strengths, weaknesses and aspects you would do differently if you were to repeat the project
For this Tweety Pie product I got a Google image and I then Rota scoped it in Photoshop. I added in the details from his eyes to his chest feather so it looked more like the real image. I made it into a baby/child piece of clothing as this would appeal to that audience more than it would an older audience. I think that its quite a good product and because its a cartoon, it was a lot easier to Rota scope than it is to do a human or a real animal. I think that I could have been more careful with the outline as there are a few white patches around it, but that would be a future development.
This is my Rihanna t-shirt design. I used a simple font because I wanted the writing to be easy to read after I had inserted all of the images. It was difficult to get the images into the different letters so that took me a while to do because I wanted to get them correct. This is a t-shirt aimed at a target audience of 15-20 year olds because this the age where they would listen to Rihanna's songs. The technique I used was a clipping mask which makes the images fit into the text. I think its very effective in this situation because it turned out very well. A few of the images could be placed a bit better because there are edges leaking into another letter which I dont want, so if I were to redo this product that is what I would change about it.
For my Will Smith t-shirt design, I went to Google Images and got a picture of him, then I went into Photoshop and Rota scoped him. This was more challenging than the Tweety Pie t-shirt, but easier than the Rihanna one. The definition in his face was harder to enhance because it wasnt over his whole face so I had to blend it in some places to make it look respectable. I think the blue background behind him brings something to the image otherwise it would be very plain. I could have added more detail to his face to make him look even more life-like so that would an improvement for the future. I could hav also made it a bit neater by making the edges around everything rounder as there are some square bits which make it look very un natural.
Peer Feedback
Feedback I like that there is a different image of Rihanna for every letter. Its creative, unique and interesting You could maybe have put a different colour background You could have done something around the name and not just left it blank
