After a few weeks of creating my images I finally decided on an image to place on my DVD cover and case. I was ready for feedback even though I felt like I hadn't done much work and hadn't created my video at this stage and knew for sure I wouldn't get a pass.
We got paired up in class and we took it in turns to look at each other's work and to give feedback on improvements. The given requirements were provided as:
- Set up the correct Photoshop File
- Correct size
- DPI
- Selection tools
- Filters
- Layers (named well and organised well)
- Layer transparency
- Levels
- Guides
- Effects applied to photos
- A render in an appropriate format
For the given requirements I received the following feedback:
Set up a Photoshop file - Correct Colour. Correct size - Correct size set up DPI - Correct DPI used (300). Selection tools - Selection tools have been used to place and crop images. Filters - No filters used but may be added in at the end. Layers - A few layers used and named accordingly. I suggested using folders to group them and to make workspace more efficient. Layer Transparency - No use of transparency but will be used later. Levels - No use of levels. Guides -Guides are not finished. Effects applied to photos - No effects used. A render in appropriate format - Image has been saved as JPEG.
My other comments of improvements were guides need to be set up so that you can see where the edge and spine of the cover should be. For the back cover take a look at how the other movie covers look and try to implement it in to you final production design.
Then came the feedback for my DVD disc label cover.
The given requirements were:
- Pen tool
- Type tool
- Placing images
- Brushes
- Clipping masks
- Guides
- Layers
- Transparencies
- Text wrap
- A render in an appropriate format
For the given requirements I received the following feedback;
Pen tool - No will consider using this.
Type tool - Used for logo (text)
Placing images - Yes a few images were placed on disc
Brushes - Wasn't used
Clipping mask - Not used
Guides - Guides were set up correctly.
Layers - Layers were used for images and adjustments. Also have named them correctly.
Transparencies - No but will consider it.
Text wrap - No but will consider using it.
A render in an appropriate format - Not yet.
I can see now that I have alot of improvements to do as I didn't do much work then but think I have progressed onwards and made my changes to improve my work. My comments for my DVD disc label were that the DVD cover image can be used as background for the CD. Also logo can be improved a bit more to show the use of different features and effects.
The person marking our work was looking for things in what we had used and where we had used them.
I was given 29% and said that little evidence of use of learning resources. No self direction, with little evidence of contribution to team work. Very weak academic/intellectual skills and significant difficulties with structure/expression. Little evidence of practical/professional skills. I agree with being given this grade but am hoping that I can improve my work and make the changes I need to make to up my grade.
