EVE WHELAN

In the workshop we learned how to use Photoshop for none destructive editing and how to edit raw images. Practicing these techniques on a given city scape, where we had to change the colour of the sky on a separate layer, so it could be removed if necessary. Also learning how to use Vector Smart Objects linked from Illustrator to Photoshop. My creations for this task are shown below alongside their resulting layer formations. The final part of the task was to choose a photo of ourselves and none destructively edit it on Photoshop. I chose a photo of my friend and I, I used none destructive editing to change the background to turquoise, leaving only our hair, eyebrows and tops from the original image, the result is the final image below.

Bauhaus-93 from Eve Whelan on Vimeo . The task for the first kinetic typography workshop was to pick a font and create a ten second video about it. The font I chose was Bauhaus 93, based on the original Bauhaus font from the iconic German art school. I thought this would be a good choice of font as it can be paired with the primary colours and shapes that go hand in hand with the Bauhaus. It also goes alongside Kandinsky and his test, to see which primary colours pair with which primary shapes. Kandinsky’s ideal was a yellow triangle, a red square and a blue circle, this is explained in more detail on my Theory as Practice blog.
