I have created 5 icons for the I-phone that represent war, horror, fantasy, humour and science fiction. To start with we had to look for things to use for the icons; I had looked in books which were borrowed from the college library. Also we had to create a PowerPoint to explain about file formats and computer products designed by apple. After researching about designs I hand drew several icons on 4 sheets and then redrawing the five icons which I selected on another concept sheet, these were then created on Photoshop.
For research I looked at the I-phone icons on the internet and noticed that they were eye catching and had bright colours, after this I research about the company apple and looked at a variety of products including the I-Mac and the I-phone and fond out about the company, for the research for the icons I looked at books and found images that I found useful including a image of reptiles and the planet mars, these were useful for my icons, I have also compared other touch phones such as the blackberry in terms of comparison and the nokia touch screen phone, we looked at the phones we analyzed these and looked at the details, the concept sheets are used to create planned images which will be recreated in adobe Photoshop; these were titled war, science fiction, humour, fantasy and horror. On each sheet there were 4 ideas for each concept, then after that one of these from each section is selected and drawn out on another concept sheet before an explanation is written out and then I looked for several books to look for suitable designs and images. However for the whoopee cushion, there was an actual item which I took a photo of. Some of these images were scanned into the computer.
We also had to look at interactive media which included games and icons, we looked at how they were used and where they could they be applied, we also went to the BAF festival in Bradford which we looked at seminars about the games companies, the icons were made on adobe Photoshop for in which I had to first get used to the program, to begin with I created a circle to which the icon will go on, then using the program I created several icons, whilst the science fiction was just the circle coloured in red with a few blurred black lines, the tools I have used in Photoshop include the circle marquee tool which has allowed me to work in a circular space as well the rectangle marquee tool to continue on a certain area. To get rid of objects I used to erase tool because I have to get these correct or to my specifications. I also used the brush tool to add colour because they would look dull with out the colour, I used the pencil tool to add the lines to it and used the blur tool on the science fiction icon to make it look like it has been viewed from a distance. I have learned the basics of using Photoshop and know how to modify certain parts of a drawing as well as how to make them look good. Overall the project has been okay with a lot of knowledge absorbed.
