I’ve just finished this color correction training, it’s pretty relaxing in contrast to all my other assignments (which I love but sometimes it’s fun to just click buttons and see what looks different).  The results:

Curves adjusted to impact contrast:

Levels adjusted to impact contrast:

Brightness/contrast adjusted to impact highlights/shadows:

Used saturation to change the color of this flower:

Used vibrance to make this image brighter without deep frying it (this was cool to learn!!):

Used color balance to give these photos cool and warm effects:

Used the selection tool and exposure droppers to give this photo more natural lighting:

Used warm and cool tone filters to transform this red panda:

Used highlights/shadows to brighten and darken this image:

 

And finally, used the gradient tool to brighten part of this photo:

Spot the difference o.o

This was fun! I feel like I’m getting better at adding and pulling back depths of color. I also figured out where the eyedropper tool was on my iPad today..would’ve been super cool of me to have figured out last week but that’s okay.

This studio course graphics training was a BOAT LOAD. I’m not entirely sure if I’m actually finished yet but I’ve created all of the assets. I ended up changing up my initial design a bit to include some black squares/lines, so I had to go back and adjust everything a tiny bit. Really happy with the results! I’ve just attached a couple of the assets here to give you all an idea of how the initial design was adjusted for the different formats. Really happy I got to keep my fonts consistent, but still trying to figure out how to embed the main font into powerpoint.

 

Here’s some powerpoint slides, the title and a stinger:

Here are the canvas designs:

And finally, a studio mock-up including my screen designs:

 

Super fun! Took my entire workday just to export files and shift things around lol. Until next week 🙂

Small update on studio graphics, I designed a storyboard for a potential animation! The idea here is that the color bars/boxes slide across the screen. I’m terrible at drawing so I didn’t visualize my entire concept but the animation would end with one of the black grid squares expanding and the title of the course fading in.

Started working on a studio graphics training. Here’s my first digital monitor backdrop design for twentieth century art, inspired by de stijl’s signature grid design. I just posted this for feedback but I honestly feel like making the background blue and using white/yellow/red as the accents may be a better idea; I’m not sure if white would appear to bright on the screen for a backdrop. Might play around with that tomorrow based on what feedback I get.
