Bamboo Tablet Creations...

It's been a while since I got my Wacom Bamboo Tablet as a present from my boyfriend. Somehow I couldn't find a way to connect with it because it was unnatural for me to draw with digital pen on some kind of a pad :)) 

Finally, yesterday was the day when I found out that the digital pen is like a missing piece from my hand and I won't be able to live without it anymore :D

Here is my first creation:

Calendar 2012

I have lots of friends but only a few great friends. Lucky me, most of them were living/working/studying with me here in Luton. Unfortunately, one of my best friends felt her journey shall continue somewhere else, so she and her boyfriend left UK and now they are trying their luck somewhere else. I wanted to make something really special for her, since I didn't know how soon I will see her again. And then it occurred me: "I'll make a calendar with a digest from all our trips, parties, gatherings!!!" So here I share my unforgettable time spent with this special person Petra spread through 12 months (:

Photo: Digital Editing

I love taking photographs of people I love, of places I adore, of things I find amazing or at least interesting. Sometimes I have to take more than just one photo of the same source of my interest, so I have the possibility to pick the best one for my digital editing. And sometimes I cannot decide, which one is the best one, so I end up with these little creations...

Here we are on our trip to Dublin. It was just me and my boyfriend, so pure boy happend to be a victim of my photo shooting :))

Here we are on our trip to Penzance, Land's End. Beautiful scenery, great weather, clean water and fresh air - what more could we ask/pray for :)

We went to visit Brighton for our very 1st time... After a while there was really strong need for a snack... and so a walkers advert was created :)

  
Boys went little bit over the edge :) Seven Sisters Cliffs...

Whose jump is the best one? I believe I look like a smashed spider on a bathroom tile :) At least, I was told so...

All photographs are my own and therefore are subjected to copyright matter.

In short, manipulation of digital images (:

Brand Values

In establishing influences between the source movies and our own creative work we had to derive 3 brand values from our chosen source movie. 

*brand value in this context means a perceived or actual quality or characteristic of the film, which uniquely defines or distinguishes it.

My Group Name: LOOK AROUND
Our source movie: THE ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND
Brand values: EVANESCE, IMPULSIVE, UNDEVIATING
To create brand value image we had to digitally manipulate an existing image, so it would eventually give the brand value expression. 

Evanesce = because the main characters from movie decides to erase their shared memories.

Impulsive = because it is sudden and unexpected decision to at first erase their love from their brains and subsequently the strong need to stop the nonsense erasing. 

Undeviating = because they end up exactly where they started.

Another image for 'Impulsive'.

I just looove Photoshop :)

Since I started using Photoshop program, it has grown on me and I have always found a way to use it for any occasion. It's excellent program for creating photo-collages, adverts, or for rendering and manipulating digital images in any way. Here are some examples, how crazy I can get when my loving friends have something to celebrate (for example birthdays, marriage, leaving uk, etc) and I want to show my support (:

Here is my sister with her fiance. They have been together for ages and when he proposed, I thought it would be a lovely idea to make it for them even more unforgettable. So I persuaded them to pose a little in front of my camera, so I could create a beautiful collage, which they wouldn't be ashamed of (: I hope the outcome isn't disappointing ;)

The second collage I created for my very good friend who recently gave a birth to a beautiful baby girl. This collage was made when she got married and all the people from the collage were on her wedding, so I wanted to remind her how many good friends she has got and what a great fun we can have together (:

 This is a happy bday postcard for a fantastic photographer and my friend Brano (:

 Here is a goodbye collage for a funny and little bit crazy girl with a big loving heart - Mayka. She was leaving loooots of sad people behind her when she decided to try her luck back in her homecountry Slovakia.
