HG: Digipak Process 3

This is a new image that I have started to work on. Originally, I would've liked to have had the whole of this image as it is a very wide, displaying the beautiful landscape that is Bedgebury. However, as we already have an advert image, we needed more digipak panes, which meant I had to ensure that the image was square. This was achieved by selecting the crop tool and then inserting Height 1, Width 1. Then, I chose which section of the image I liked- taking rule of thirds into consideration, I believe that the composition is particularly effective as George is positioned on the right-hand-side, allowing space for the typography. Discussing the typography further, the group has decided on a font called 'Typographica' after looking further into some of Jack Garratt's print work. As well as this, the font that Jack Garratt utilises, removes some of the letter 'A', and I have attempted to replicate that in my piece. This was achieved by copying the layer, left clicking to rasturize it, and selecting the polygon eraser tool. From this, (after zooming) I simply selected the part of the letter I wanted to erase, and then clicked control D and zoomed out to see how it looked.


I have been working on this image for a few lessons now. Taking inspiration from Jack Garratt's print work, I have completed a similar process as the pane above in terms of the typography. This is because I have used the polygon tool to remove a part of the letter 'A'. One thing I need to do in the next lesson, is move each of the letters closer together. I will be able to do this by selecting the 'rectangular selection tool', and move parts of the font closer together making it similar to Jack Garratt's typography.
