Texture and Space.

Bascically what we did in our lecture class this week is we go out of our class and collect actual texture and paste it in a A4 thick paper. 

Me , Ai zheah & Priscilla form a group and we started to find texture such as different types of leaves , wrinkled paper ,branches and some sand & stone.

After finished collecting , we paste it in a black mounting board .

This is how it looks like.

After finishing pasting all the texture on it , we have been told that we need to transfer the texture into software which is using Adobe Illustrator.

My texture work

The picture shown above is my texture work.

I watched the video below to learn some technique on how to create realistic leaves but i didn't applied all in my texture work because i found that some of the techniques is not suitable for my composition.

The second Assignment.

Yeah , that's right. This is my second assignment .

But this is not the final one.

This one got rejected by madam ling saying that this has been overdone and some part of the poster can be improved. In order to get a better mark for my assignment , so i change it as madam ling told me .

Actually i quite like this one . I know it's very fancy but you know what . I like fancy stuff . HeeHee

And this is the one that i had done according to madam ling guidance .

Raster background

Vector background

Both of the poster may look the same for you , but actually it's different. Saw the caption i put below the poster? Yeah , one is the poster with raster background while one is with vector background.

This may not be very obvious but can be actually seen quite obviously when I printed it out.

I struggled a lot when choosing both of this to be submit and At Last , i had chosen the poster with vector background.

AND MORE 

THIS ONE!
There is color inside the font right?
Actually it's an image.

I kinda like this technique because it's very interesting and you can put in whatever image you like inside the font.
So how i did that?
Yeah , i learn from the video below.

I hope this helped you. :)

Printing

This week we had learned about printing.

There are few types of printing available.

Offset Lithography:
Offset lithography is the most commonly used commercial printing process for the bulk of desktop publishing on paper. Offset lithography is used on both sheet-fed and web offset presses. The three primary differences in offset printing and desktop printing (such as inkjet and laser) are the colors of ink and the way the ink is placed on the paper as well as the type of machinery used to accomplish the task.


Flexography:
Frequently used for printing on plastic, foil, acetate film, brown paper, and other materials used in packaging, flexography is also known as flexographic printing or flexo. Some typical applications for flexography are paper and plastic bags, milk cartons, disposable cups, and candy bar wrappers. Flexographic printing may also be used for envelopes, labels, and newspapers.


Gravure Printing:
Gravure printing is commonly used for labels and packaging, competing against flexography. Photogravure is a process used mostly for fine art prints


Laser / Digital Printers:
Speed and lower operation costs make laser printers attractive to many businesses. Color lasers can be found at service bureaus and printers and are often used to produce high-resolution color digital proofs. Adobe PostScript capabilities found in many laser printers make them popular with graphic designers and desktop publishers who often utilize EPS images and PostScript files.

For quality comparable to a high-end laser printer, the Xerox DocuTech printer offers toner-based digital printing for short runs and print-on-demand projects. There are both B&W and color DocuTech printers.

We work in group again to discover and discuss about type of printing, offset lithography that given by madam ling.

Each group are give 5 minute to do research about it and have to present it .

We are also been told by madam ling the printing services available in Cyberjaya or nearby Cyberjaya.

Then , we are given the task to find out what's missing in the website of this printing shop.

http://www.namizaprint.com.my/product/flyer/index.html

We have conclude some answer and that is

-Price

-Printing requirements

-Printing method

Before the end of the class , we are required to create our own printing requirement assuming that we own a printing shop.

BYE.
