Deadmau5

I think this went really well. I created this in Adobe Illustrator and used the colours to suit the artist which is Deadmau5. I chose to do this design on Deadmau5 because it was an artist that really interested me and i thought it would be interesting to try and design a google page.



This is the design sheet for the google outcome: http://sdcmoodle.southdowns.ac.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=69854

Kate Moross


For this task we were told to create a CV in the style of Kate Moross. We were told to hand draw the design and then colour it in photo shop. 

This was the hand drawn design that i created. 




This is the final outcome after i coloured it in photoshop. 



I am pleased with the outome. I tried to fit in all of the things i would put into a CV to make it interesting. I chose to make this image really full of things because the purpose of this is to do have done it in the style of Kate Moross. I created this in photo shop by colouring all the individual bits in with different colours.

What does CMYK and RGB stand for? Why are they different? 




CMYK stands for "Cyan Magenta Yellow Black." These are the four basic colors used for printing color images. Unlike RGB (red, green, blue), which is used for creating images on your computer screen, CMYK colors are "subtractive." This means the colors get darker as you blend them together. Since RGB colors are used for light, not pigments, the colors grow brighter as you blend them or increase their intensity.
