Photoshop work for Jubilee gardens

I am so proud of my maps and sketch as I couldn't find the paint bucket. Which I found two weeks ago and I can finally work more Photoshop. And I feel I am getting better at it. I also feel more confident which is great!!! I always find it hard to integrate yourself into a new class. But here are my maps and my work on Indesign which took me days to do:

Here is my first geological map which took me 1 day to finish.

industrial pollution map

sketch showing the layer of soil (1 day)

my first page

the map I improve to make it similar to my group map

we decide to use my map of pollution in climate rather than in my part. So here is the map of man-made deposit I have done. The hatches were really hard to do so I had to have a transparent grid underneath to draw my line in perfect parallel.

Here is an idea of how it looks like now.

And here is my final work.

 I am so proud of myself. And I am getting more quicker at Photoshop and Indesign (1st time user). I even help some of my schoolfriend with their work in Indesign and Photoshop. I hope to continue to improve my work. I even found how to get better quality image in Indesign and Photoshop that was very helpful. Good luck everyone with your work.

Sketch design 3

Here is what I have done weeks ago but it is just to catch up.
I used photoshop to fill my sketches. I didn't find the tool to paint the sketch so I only used photos to create my montage.
My feeling is that I need more experience on photoshop as it is my first year using it.

Quick sketch (5min)

photoshop montage, much better with the windows (it look more realistic)

 I also couldn't find how to make the white background disappeared and used the sketches lines I have drawn (so I used the selection tool to incorporate the photos of texture and to make my line visible) But it doesn't look great. I need more work on that. This was done weeks ago (probably 4 weeks now).

London Jubilee gardens Sketches

Here are sketches I have done of Jubilee gardens so you can have a feeling of the place those of you who haven't visited the site. But will learn more next Monday during our presentation. I hope you can't wait to see our presentation on Monday.

Courson Autumn Paris Saturday 16th October 2010

I had to go back to Paris on the week-end of the 16-17 October to collect my new French ID card. So I took advantage of the situation to see Courson a very famous flower show in France. It is similar to Hampton Court (that everyone known). The only difference is that it is more about selling fashionable plants rather than garden show (there was only one or two garden show). Here are few pictures of Courson.

Presentation

I like to apologise to all my reader as I didn't realise it has been one month since I post something. It is a good way to know how time fly very quickly. It is also a problem when you concentrate yourself on your homework and you forget about the rest.
So as a start here is a picture of me during my medieval presentation.

 I know I have a funny face but just look at the costume I made myself (except for the dress).
I am doing another presentation on Monday so expect to see another costume on Monday.
