Photoshop, before and after

To get the outcome that I did, I first used the 'Spot Healing Tool' to remove the glare from my glasses, and a lot of my spots and bad looking parts on my face, I then removed my piercings with the same tool, and changed a lot of what I thought was bad features of my face. I used the pen tool to select around my hair and eyes and then put it on a new layer, from there I changed the Hue and Saturation to change my hair colour, and my eye colour. I then used techniques to make the picture look more lighter and interesting, like adding blur tool, and using filters.

I was going to go with my first idea of a dice, how ever I was thinking that it would be too easy to make and not add enough of a challenge.

And so I made a new idea of a tree with a hang man's noose, the reason was because it added enough of a challenge to test my skills at making them, and it added the dark twist that I wanted to my set.

Elements

I have used Form on the dice so that it looks 3D and I have used lines to make it stand out, and add to to the 3D effect.

I have also used value and line to define and add detail, especially to the noose.

3D Visual Language

The basic elements and principles of three dimensional art are:

Elements:

Line:- The edge of a shape or the form of a line moving to a direction that you want it to move to

(Implied line)- A line which isn't actually there but appears to be present.

(Actual line)- A line which is actually there and visible.

Value:- Shadow variations for light to dark

different types of value adds a sense of space and depth to an object; emphasising its three dimensions.

 strong contrast in value can create emphasis.

Colour:- colour is a light source reflected of a surface which can create emphasis, harmony, emotions, unity and movement.

Colour has three distinctive qualities.

 Hue-colour

Value- lightness to darkness of a colour

Intensity- Brightness to dullness of a colour - mixing its complimentary colour can create dullness

Texture:- Quality related to our sense of touch. It can create emphasis, movement, pattern, emotion

-Implied texture- it appears to be there but is actually an illusion which makes it not present

-Actual texture- is really there and you can feel it.

Shape:- Shape creates a two dimensional area. Shape can create most of the elements and many of the principles

Form:- Form encloses a volume of three dimensional area.

Light and dark value variations and space are used to emphasize form.

Space:  Illusion of depth and space.

-ways to create space-

Overlapping- shapes or forms in front of each other
