mind map

This is our mindmap that we all added things onto hopefully some of these things will help me with the final magazine peice.

mind map images for global warming and snow

Here are some images i found to do with global warming and snow that may be some ideas for my magazine peice.Some of them amy be useful in my final thing but im still trying to find more images that would relate to that.

bitmap images

Bitmap images (also known as raster images) are made up of pixels  in a grid. Pixels are picture elements; tiny dots of individual color that make up what you see on your screen.
Most computer monitors display approximately 70 to 100 pixels per inch--the actual number depends on your monitor and screen settings.
Bitmap images are resolution dependent. Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image and is usually stated as dpi (dots per inch) or ppi (pixels per inch). Bitmap images are displayed on your computer screen at screen resolution: approximately 100 ppi. However, when printing bitmaps, your printer needs much more image data than a monitor. In order to render a bitmap image accurately, the typical desktop printer needs 150-300 ppi.

Artist- Alessio Radice


I have researched another artist called Alessio Radice because I really like his work.
 


This picture is one of my favourites because it is different and i like the look of it. 
·         . The colours I like because they have used mainly pink in this picture which brings the girl out more in this painting. And makes her look bolder.
·         I also like the way that this artist had done the buildings. Most of their work makes things look like they are melting which exactly what they have done in the background of this picture. Although I am not to sure what they are trying to do with the melting buildings i am pretty sure that the melting building’s shadow has been added to the background to make it feel more realistic than what it is.


·         This image is called runaway which may be a clue to why the buildings are melting because maybe the artist is thinking about what you would think, maybe she is thinking that she doesn’t want to see it again so she is melting it from her brain. That is one possibility but there could be many more.







Artists-Bert Monroy


Bert Monroy is an American artist best known for his skill in using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I really like his work and what he has done in films. I think it is amazing the skill he has and what he has done with it. Monroy is considered by most Pixel Perfect viewers to be one of the pioneers of digital art. Which I can understand because some of the work he has done is incredible what he has done with Photoshop & what can be achieved with it when you have experience.
This picture he has achieved using Photoshop is amazing the detail he has used making this and the time he as put into it is probably what makes him so well known t most people.


I think his work will influence me a lot because it is something that I would like to achieve sometime in the future.
Some of the films he has done e.g. lord of the rings is something I would love to get on with in the future.

Artists- Simone Legno

One of the artists i have researched is Simone Legno. I like his work because i like his types of drawings, he seems to have a big imagination and put this into his work. I found out he is an Italian artist, his work is also influenced by his interest in Japan & it's culture.



I don't think his work will really influence me because I’m not really into cartoons but i do like what he does because I really like the colours he uses they are bright and make his work stand out. He is the co finder of his work tokidoki he drew constantly as a child and i guess that is where he got his talent from. The word tokidoki means ‘sometimes’ in Japan which is where he got his inspiration. Simone's special moment arrived when his designs drew the attention of entrepreneurs Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold, who spied the art on his personal website and convinced him to move to L.A. to start up a dynamic new partnership with them. Simone has been a sought-after speaker around the world at museums, universities and conferences, from MOCA (the Geffen Museum-Los Angeles) to the Adobe MAX conference, UCLA, USC, the Flash Film Festival in San Francisco, Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome, Grafika Manila and many others.


“Tokidoki is the hope, the hidden energy that everyone has inside, It gives us the strength to face a new day and dream about something positive and the hope that something magical will happen to us.” - Simone Legno
