UNIT 34: IMAGE MANIPULATION

Being given the freedom to create a photomontage on any subject of my choice, and having only one limitation that it should be something media based (CD, Game, DVD) left me spoilt for choice.

Indecisive over a tribute to the Halo series or a cover for the up and coming Gears of War 3, I decided to go with the game I had most fun playing.

PROGRESSION

Having already applied to university once I am familiar with the process of chosing, visiting and applying to them.

The five choices I made last year were;

Sheffield Hallam - Games Design (W280)
Sheffield Hallam - Animation (W615)
Leeds Metropolitan - Multimedia Technology (G450)
Leeds Metropolitan - Games Design (GW42)
Huddersfield - Computer Games Design (G4W6)

Having chosen all multi-media or game based courses it's clear that this is the route I want to take. When applying to university next year I will focus more on having a wider variety of universities to go to rather than two at the same univeristy.

My main choice (which I accepted as firm) was Multimedia Technology at Leeds Metropolitan. I applied for accomodation nearby and had the finance mostly sorted, unfortunately I didn't get enough points to get in.

PHOTOSHOP: PHOTOMONTAGE

In order to practise using the basic functions of Photoshop, I was asked to create a simple photomontage based around one of three themes/names, these being:

• Cats and Paris
• Office Monkey
• Ants in a Boardroom
