Today I worked on more COLA IDs!!!! There are….so many……aaaaaaaaaa

I did…….quite a bit. There were four pages on UTBox full of raw, unedited photos and I’ve gotten through about 2.5 pages. I think I’ll be done next shift!

Lots of COLA photo IDs!!!

That’s all for today 🙂

So, Suloni talked to me at the beginning of my shift and told me that we had a LOT of COLA photo IDs to edit and process. She asked me if I would be able to help her out and so I did!

 

So many…..photo…IDs……

 

The photo editing process for these are a little different from the way we’ve been doing them in the past. These photos were 200×200 and I used a template for all the photo IDs so that they are all in one file. Because they are all in one file, I dedicated each layer to one client. The template was necessary because there were guidelines to guide where the client’s face/head should be for their ID. Other than that, the photo editing was pretty much the same. I brightened up some pictures using the “Highlights/Shadow”, the “Brightness/Contrast”, and the “Vibrance” tools.

The photos in the red boxes were the photos I edited during my shift. There were so many, but I’m making progress!

That’s all for this shift 🙂

I FINISHED TATE’S ASSIGNMENT!!!

Here’s a cute little shelfie 🙂

What I did this shift was color in all the ” primed” items with the Watercolor Big Round Brush! For the more detailed artwork on the labels, I switched over to the hard mechanical paint brush. I find that it’s better for making crisp logos for these kitchen items. I’m thinking about straightening out the little wheat stem so that it reads as wheat better. But, I think it works!

That’s all I did for this shift 🙂

Today I continued on Tate’s assignment!

 

Wow, look at dat clutter!

 

I did the same thing I did with the olive oil bottles and outlined the reference pictures of the items on the middle shelf. After doing that, I used a hard mechanical brush with no textures to color in the items with white as to prime them for the watercolor stage.

After I did that, I was trained by Nick on how to make interactives on Canvasser for the eAnthro V-Labs!

That’s all I got to today because I had a short shift.

I worked on an assignment Tate gave me today. I followed the basic procedures for making these olive oil bottles.

 

So much olive oil!!! Why???

 

When I was given access to this file, there were reference pictures in place. I was assigned the middle shelf of the cafe kitchen. This shelf consisted of olive oil bottles, a container, a jar, some bags of coffee grounds, and a bag of flour.

I started off this assignment by making the line art using the reference pictures. After that, I colored in the bottles using a white color to prime the drawings for the watercolor textured brush for the color of the oil bottles. I used the color picker to create the color scheme of the bottles and used the “Watercolor Big Round” brush on a large setting to paint the bottles in. I find that using this brush with a large radius yields the best watercolor effects.

After painting the bottles and all its main components (the bottles, the lid, the backdrop of the bottle’s label), I switched from the watercolor brush to a hard mechanical brush to make the olive branch. This was a little difficult because when I initially started drawing this graphic it was hard to read and looked….a bit phallic. BUT!!! I think the final result reads pretty well, so yay!

 

Aaaaand, that’s basically what I did for this shift!

Woo worked on and finished one of Kathy’s assignments!

 

Stomach ache 🙁
