Adele at the Oscars

Here is another Adele at the Oscars collage that I made in Photoshop like the one I posted last week only this time I have used yellow instead of red and fewer photos of Adele.

Adele Wins an Oscar

Here is a collage of Adele at the Oscars that I made in Photoshop. I did this to get some ideas for what I am going to do for this project. 

Adele drop shadow

Here I have used the fibres filter in Photoshop to create a curtain effect. I have used a drop shadow to make Adele stand out and to create a shadow like effect against the curtain. 

Even More Adele

What I have done here is I have used the lens flare filter in the image to create the effect of a spotlight behind the amazing Adele.

More Adele

My teacher helped create this with the polygonal lasso tool and the paint bucket in in Photoshop which gave it a sort of comic book/50s look. 

Adele red spotted

Here I did the same affect that I had done with the gold but it was a little trickier as I had to keep the mic stand.

What the top ten food companies own

The top ten food companies seem to own everything. Maybe that's because they do own everything!

Top ten food companies

Here are the logos for the top ten food companies. The one with the fancy J is General Mills who own Betty Crocker, Lucky Charms, Cheerios and Cookie Crisp. I know that Nestle produce Cheerios and Cookie Crisp in the UK that might mean that General Mills and Nestle are linked.

Record labels

Above is some research that I have done on record labels. I noticed that CBS and Columbia had the same logo so it doesn't take a genius to figure out that they are owned by the same company.

My song of the moment

 this song is the saddest that I've heard in a long time and it is also a favourite as well.

Colour spotted Adele

For my latest project I am designing a poster depicting a scenario for X L Recordings I have chosen Adele winning an Oscar for Skyfall. I have colour spotted Adele at the Oscars.

Screen Shots

Here are the screen shots that I haven't included in my sketchbook.

Merchandise

As I am redesigning Southport College's logo I have to make sure that it looks good on merchandise like a coffee mug or t-shirt.

Refined logo

I opened my logos into illustrator and I traced over the shape using the pen tool. The final result looks really sleek, smooth and sophisticated. My favourite is the one in middle.

T-Shirt idea

I am now thinking about designing merchandise for Southport College such as: t-shirts, bags, mugs and hoodies.  

Logo Ideas

Here are my six ideas for Southport College's new logo. I have used the shape of the entrance of Southport College. The colour purple as it is used in the interior of the College's library. I was told not to use a colour too far from the colour blue as that is the colour of the current logo of Southport College logo and the notice boards. 

Brace yourselves!

 Charmed is being rebooted by CBS and isn't receiving a positive reaction from two of it's former stars Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan. I however don't really know how I feel so I am going to see what they come up with. I think they should use fresh faced actors and it should be set somewhere different than San Francisco. I think Lea Michele from Glee and Phoebe Tonkin from The Originals should be offered starring roles and maybe Melissa Benoist from Glee.

The House of Hades

Hello Everyone that reads my blog,
                 It's been about two months since I last posted sorry for my absence but my computer's home safe settings have been changed (blame my brother). I have recently acquired the new Rick Riordan book The House of Hades which cannot wait to get stuck into. This book looks as though it is the thickest of the series and (judging by the cover) the darkest.

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is the second installment of the Percy Jackson series based on the books by Rick Riordan. If you have read the Percy Jackson books and then you watch the first two films you will notice some changes for example the main characters ages were accellerated from 12 to 16. This is mainly because when you adapt a book to screen you can't expect the screen version to be an exact replica of the book. Having read the books after I saw Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief I did notice that the film was alot different from it's book counterpart. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is actually alot closer to it's book counterpart than it's prequel. I have really enjoyed both films and all five books I can't wait until the DVD release and the Titan's Curse. I recommend this film for anyone who loves the Percy Jackson books and who liked the first film.

Why I Love h2o: just add water

The first time I ever watched h2o: just add water I just fell in love with it. The premise of h2o was that it was about three teenage girls who can magically turn into mermaids by the touch of water. Initially I admit that I was attracted to h2o because I was curious about how they were going to do the mermaid thing. The mermaids aren't the only reason why I love h2o I guess I love it for the bond that the main characters had with each other it showed that if you share something special that you can put your differences aside and be best friends. Yes I was fourteen when I first saw h2o but it has changed me as a person and my view on mermaids has changed also.

Supernatural novels

These are the supernatural novels that I have either read or am in the process of reading. I am currently reading Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick.

Kyle & Georgia = True love

No wonder Georgia has fallen in love with Kyle he's a decent bloke and he's good-looking. It is also no wonder why Kyle has fallen for Georgia because she's nice, kind, perky and good-looking. I think that it is great that Kyle has moved on from Jade.

Soap Operas again

This is another poster that I've done for Soaps. I am thinking of doing a scrapbook on Soap Operas over the summer.
