Erwin Olaf _ photographer

the photographer Erwin Olaf makes every body surprised about his photograph collection.He got the inspiration from supple and long hair and that is also the simple of feminity, to respect these etate costume collections of many best designers of the world
This photograph collection caused tumult public opinions in New York Time at that period because of audacious idea and got the attention of experts and people who love fashion
Here they are

safe sex poster

Firstly I tended to create a safe sex poster based on the bad habit in Vietnamese culture.In Vietnam, parents or teachers are afraid of telling about sex for their children.Somehow, their children especially teenager usually seek information about sex on the internet, and it usually wrong information.I got that idea and took some picture of a son and a dad talk together about bird, and the dad holds a birdcage looks like a condom.And inside that bird cage , an HIV bird flying inside.
Unfortunately , I needed a condom to take pics , I can't go and buy one, I was so embarrassed and then I ask my mate" do you have condom". almost of them said " fuck off, what do you think while you ask me about that thing".Suddenly I catch an idea of embarrassment when having condom in bag, oh my god , I thought that could be a great idea.
I booked studio and ask for three classmates to take pics, using some blur effect and color balance to adjust color scheme and help the condom more contrast,emphasize
Now I've finished

Some safe sex posters

I've found some "safe sex" poster on the internet.The first poster focus on young girl target market.They try to convince girl , if they want to be a smart girl,you should wear condom.in my opinion this way is not much effective, because nowaway, you shouldn't claim that a smart girl used condom when having sex, otherwise, you 'r stupid girl.Nobody believe that or that may rule way to express
The others two target homosexual ,the image of male plug, it metaphors for anal sex on gay life with dicks and asshole and so funny the word male plug includes male genre
The third one is more effective than the second one, it uses human in poster not drawing image at all, and the way two guy pose more attractive gay boys and humourous mood was used to make it easy to remember

My portrait

Hey you guys, I've just finished my assignment two.The assignment is about design yourself portrait.I got somethings which are really fantastic with montage concept....I try to catch that idea and combine with my emotion which is current inside me.
What do you think about my portrait....I wanna know i can convey my message into this portrait or not^_^

Montage concept

I've found some things are very awesome which is based on the concept Montage.

As wikipedia.com defines Montage "Photomontage is the process (and result) of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs."(wikipedia,2007)
Now look at those stuff and compare with the definition above

Lord of the rings logo

My lord of the rings logo, oh my god its looks so awful..^_^.Guest what font did I chose

Saturation Point

Have a look at those pictures.They are an artwork of Philip Toledate.
Firstly look at kind of colorchemes he used (form bottom to the top).The first picture is completementary right?
THe second one is split completemantary
The third on is completementary again
The final is Anagolous or maybe not,Im notsure
I like the way they change satuaration of background and emphasis the main point of images in difference kinds of colour scheme
Some special effect here if we look carefully like tears drop,blood....its kinda wear because he changed the colour but we still recognize them quite well=> fantastic

Scary text

The previous assigment flash of DIm 2 was used this tutorial to create the text for the title.Let have a look






Description: This tutorial will show you how to create text that look like its formed by carefully shaped and layed out guts and intestines.

	Ok, lets start a new document size around 700px by 500px. Press "D" on the keyboard to reset the color pallete to black and white. Then go to Filter->Render->Clouds
	Now choose your "type" tool and type in your text. Choose a bold font, and make it BIG, I chose IMPACT font and size 240px.
	Now we need to load the text as a selection. Move your mouse over the "T" icon of the text layer in the layers pallete, then hold down CTRL and click on the icon. this will create a selection around the text.
	Now you need to delete the text layer, just right click on the text layer, and choose "Delete Layer", this will leave you only the background layer with the cloud filter, and the text is gone, just the selection of the text.
	Now go to Select->Feather and enter 10 for radius. Note: i enter 5 for this image, but if your text is smaller, use a smaller value. Now go to Filter->Render-> Difference Clouds. Press CTRL+F two times to reapply the filter. Now you can deselect the selection, press CTRL+D
	Now go to Filter->Stylize->Glowing Edges. Width: 5 Brightness: 7 Smoothness: 8
	Apply Filter->Artistic->Plastic Wrap Highlight Strength: 10 Detail: 9 Smoothness: 3 Press CTRL+F to reapply the filter. Depending on how much details/guts you want on it, you can press CTRL+F several times to reapply the filter.
	Now to colorize the image, go to Image->Adjustments->color balance. Shadows: [ +80 ] [ 0 ] [ -25 ] Midtones: [ +80 ] [ 0 ] [ -25 ] Highlights: [ +80 ] [ 0 ] [ - 25 ]

Playing around with Layer and blending option

Well, this image was created in the last semester in the bookcover assigment.Now I'm gonna explain steps which are invoked.
As you see there are many layers but I will separate them into 3 : the main girl layer, background layer and hands layer.Firstly, with the girl layer, I tended to adjust the saturation of the image and then changed color of the kimono which is basically in blue.Then I you extract to cut out the background
The same work with the background image but one important thing you need to know that is you have to make the background layer match color with the girl layer,so that it could be unify.
Finally I took some pictures of long nails hands^_^ and change color,cut out put some layerstyle like drop shadow...
Well now we have an red girl sleeping in the forest

Gestalt excercises

This is my work which is based on the Gestalt theory.Let's have a look

Color scheme

This is an example for colour scheme.I found an application called Color wheel pro.This program is very useful in indenfifying color scheme and it also have example for each type of color scheme."Color Wheel Pro is the only tool that allows you to see color theory in action: you can create harmonious color schemes and preview them on real-world examples. The preview is real-time: when adjusting the color scheme, you see the changes immediately. Color Wheel Pro includes all the classic color schemes: Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary, Split Complementary, Triadic, and Tetradic. You can create your own freeform color schemes that allow you to manipulate colors without restrictions. Color Wheel Pro supports both Mixing (Red-Yellow-Blue) and Visual (Red-Green-Blue) color wheel types. You can easily switch between these types and create color schemes based on both RGB and RYB wheels. You can experiment with saturation and lightness of each color in the scheme. This gives you unlimited variations of the same color harmony."

Blending option and mask pratice

After the first tutorial which teaches us about how to use mask and adjust opacity.I need to practice more so I tried to arrange layers of the photograph of my friend and a wallpaper .
Firstly I came of with an idea to make some thing dark and mysterious.Violet is the best colour tho express the feel of devil.The idea is existing in human,it always contains 2 opposite side:negative and positive.
I adjust the saturation of the image of my friend first and then use history brush to get back to the original colour of her lips( pink/violet).Then put that layer into the layer of a wallpaper and insert ed a mask and changed the blending option until it looks compatible with each others
Now I got the nice picture.Let's have a look

Logo design

Our task for Electronic image class is design 3 logos for different type of photograph: portrait, Wedding and landscape
Firstly I looked at some other logo design and I realized that logo should be in line art .Because logo can be put wherever, so it has to be quite simple and easily stands out from other things.Then I wrote down some details that usually appeared in landscape images: Flower, sun, mountain...and logo must has colours of nature and mixing with curses so that it could be pliant like sharp of mountain.I also add a circle to symbolize the sun.
Next, a portrait photograph logo, at vietnam we have a proverb" the eyes are the window of your soul".So that, a portrait photograph almost express emotion of the eyes.I tended to draw an eye and then made the iris a little bit looks like letter "P" of portrait
Finally ,An weeding logo.There are many symbol for wedding like rings, wedding dress, flower, diamond.....And I liked to depict the graceful, softly wedding dress, it also looks like wedding- favour

Practice

I started doing photoshop exercise of Maddie after reading the file she gave me.Actually I didn't understand much about what the wrote in file.
Then I just open the musicman file and saw all layers in the file.oh I understand, just use mask and blending option, so easy, I used to do it. Finished in 15 minute.But I couldn't do the final extra step coz I didn't know how to create a layer and change level .

My logo design

I designed this logo as the signature for all images that I made.R&J studio is the name of my 360yahoo gallery blog.
Firstly I tended to put letter "R" and "j" in the same roll but it looks so boring.Then I changed the position of "J" letter,so that the arrangement of those letters make it looks more attractive and nice.Letter "&" had to be put at the middle of R and K but where can make it stand out between them.I supposed that I should clear the match part between "&" and "R","j".Therefore the letter "&" didn't have to use large size but still stand out
Finally I use some blending option for those layers to make the logo more contrast with the background.I like to use blue and pink for radian but some people think these colors are not suitable.So sad T-T
