Week 10: Digital Version of Sketches 2

This is the final version of my digital sketch. I made this by using Photoshop and also by listening to other peoples’ opinions on how they seen and interpreted my sketch. There weren’t many steps because I basically had everything made from my previous sketch. First, I made a background behind the tunnel the person was escaping from. I made this by using the rectangular marquee tool. I made the tunnel or escape route longer by using the polygonal lasso tool. I made more music notes and arrows by using the custom tool shape. I changed the direction of the arrows and the person by rotating them. The colors were added by using the paint bucket tool. I arranged things this way to make it seem as if the person is escaping the ordinary or older radio to get to the newer radio which has on 88.3. I added a layer style to the newer radio and the tunnel by using Bevel and Emboss, changing the structure by increasing the depth and size and softening it. I moved the barbed wire fence and made it smaller by using scale. I moved the layer on top of the older radio layer. I also moved the person who is escaping and the white “explosion” the man is escaping from. This layer was placed on top of the fence so it stood out more and showed the most importance. The person dancing was also moved to the newer radio where he is shown dancing to 88.3’s music. There are white music notes coming from the older radio to show plainness, and there are colorful music notes by the newer radio to show uniqueness. I am controlling the viewers’ eye by making the newer radio, which has 88.3 on, bold, large, and colorful (bright colors). I am also controlling the viewers’ eye with the arrows. They follow them up to the bright radio which has 88.3 in bright red. This is my final version of my digital sketch. This means that this is my interpretation of the escape from ordinary radio. I am trying to say that this version relates to 88.3’s slogan, “The Escape from Ordinary Radio.”
