| Final graphic image in png file format |
 |
| Original image used |
I saved my final file as a png file. I did this because png
is a lossless file format. This means that a png file looks for patterns in the
image to create algorithms to save file space; instead of saving each
individual pixel. The compression that occurs in a png file is reversible so it
can be recovered exactly.
The first step I took to create this image was to first find
a jpeg image that I felt would be capable of coping in Illustrator. Once I
found my image I drag and place it into the first layer of my file. I then
locked this layer. I used the pen tool with a gradient colour filter to create
the shapes. I then, using the pen tool, I created shapes on top of the image
mimicking the actual look of the image the best I can. I used gradient tool to
create realistic light and shadow throughout my image. Once I was done I
dragged, placed and resized some shapes that I had create on top of my original
image to fill in wholes and to make it look more realistic. Lastly I saved as a
png.
Once I had fully completed my image, before saving I noticed
there were plank spots in between my created shapes. I noticed this once I took
away the original image I was layering everything on top of. This was
challenging because I really didn’t know what to do about this except start
over. But realizing that I did not have very much time left I felt the best
decision t6o make was to resize and position some of my shapes to fill in those
gaps.
I am pleased with my final result mainly because I like
original image and I felt I copied fairly well’ except now it looks more like a
graphic instead of a photograph.
