For my final design, i decided to develop the design that i created inspired by Matthew Williams as this was my personal favourite. | liked the use of colour and the earthy background image. In order to develop this, I have opened my original design into Adobe After Effects. I downloaded a plugin called AE trapcode which enabled me to transform my original design into the image shown below. This is where i have tried to combine Nick Knight's style with Matthew Williams.
I saved the Adobe After Effects file as a PSD which enabled me to edit it in Adobe Photoshop.
I have dragged my original design ontop of the first layer. Then i used the eraser tool to rub out a few parts. This allowed me to seemlessly merge both images together - leaving some parts of my original design and some parts of the Nick Knight inspired design that i created in After Effects.
I duplicated my original image and rotated it horizonally. Then i dragged it to the top left corner.
I have added mountains in the background in order to create an earthy feel to the design.
I added a texture to the image by putting the layer ontop of everything. Then i changed the layer style to 'overlay' which gave the pop out effect as shown below..
I have used a website called IphoneTextGenerator.com to create my text. I did this in order to manipulate a different medium into my design. I also did this to relate to Nick Knight.
After i put the text on my design, i added 2 emojis which again relates to Nick Knight.
I merged all the layers together as i wanted to change the contrast of the overall image. I wanted the colours to be slightly more vibrant as this would allow my design to pop out.
I achieved this by going to Image>adjustments> Brightness/Contrast
