Buster Keaton Digital Graphics InDesign

What I Did - I made a copy of an Buster Keaton Newpaper front using the program Indesign I followed a Tutorial hand out to learn on what to do and how to use the program.

How I did It - I used Indesign and various tools in the program which allowed me to edit the piece how i wanted. I used tools such as Free transform tool, rectangle frame tool and type tool to get a good looking result. I saved the final peice as a PDF file format as I found it was the best format for quality.


What I Thought Of The ResultsSeeing this was my first time using Indesign I was happy with the final product, I belive it looked professional and didn't find it to confusing to use.

Any Technical Problems I Faced - The only problem I faced was sometimes having problems creating text boxes and overlapping layers. Apart from that I found the program easy to use and wouldn't have any problems using it in the future.



Here is a Piece of work I created with Adobe Indesign I followed a Tutorial on how to cut down a image insert it and then  merge it with the text. I and also learnt how to create the page layout correctly for the piece and how to do different text layouts with using different fonts.

Below is an image of the final piece with some other screenshots of the work in progress:










Overall I learnt the basics of Indesign and didn't find it to hard to use the only problem I faced was lining up the images could be irritating and awkward.

Digital Image - White Tiger With Human Face

What I Did - I took an high resolution image of a White Tiger I found on the internet and then merged it with a picture of a friend by inserting his eyes and teeth into picture to create a funny looking effect.

How I did It - I used Photoshop CS3 for merging the two images I first opened up both the images and scaled them down to the correct size and colour. I then used the lasso tool to cut out the parts of the human face I wanted to merge and copied them into the other image. I then used the erasor tool to go around the human features and delete any parts of the face I didn't want. I then done some finishing touches such as using the blur tool to blur out certain parts I didn't want, used the Sketch filter effect to enhance the eyes and then added some customized text to give it a nicer look.

What I Thought Of The ResultsI was happy with the overall outcome of the final product and for the time it took to do I was quite impressed.

Any Technical Problems I Faced - I already have used photoshop before so I knew alot of the features involved anything which I ever found myself stuck with I would simple just do a google search on look for the appropriate tutorial.
