Evaluation

   For this assignment i chose to do my Personal Project about Self Harm. The primary research that i did for this was when i created a survey about self-harm and then i asked other people in the course to fill it out for me so i could write about what people thought and think about self-harm. For my secondary research i used the internet and u also looked through some books for good ideas of posters and for research on self-harm and who can help them. These both helped me when i was creating my final poster because it told me what people think about self-harm and what people know about it, so i used this to my advantage so i put the dame information on my poster that i did on my survey because not many people got the right answer to it. When i was planning and producing my poster i had to get together everything that i would need to produce a good photography to start off with so i used: 

Camera: Cannon 1200d

Soft box lights

Liquid latex

Fake blood

Someone's arm (Brother)

Tripod

Paint Brush

Makeup

I started by using the liquid latex on my brothers arm and i did about 4 layers and let it set between layers. and then i used a sharp object to make a little cut in the latex so we could them peel it back a bit so it looks like cuts on my brothers arm and then we used the fake blood to fill in the cuts and then we used a bit of makeup to blend in the extra bits of the latex on my brothers arm because once it had dried it went shiny so I used the makeup to blend it in more with the skin. After I had finished the cuts I set up some soft box lights in the cellar and then set up my camera and tripod. Then i had to set my camera to the right settings for example i put my camera on to Manual (M) which means you can change every setting separately so i used ISO 100, Aperture F7 and Shutter speed 125. Then got my brother to sit next to the wall while I take the pictures of him showing the cuts on his arm. Once I had finished this I put the pictures onto Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop I used a number of different tools to be able to get my final project just as by using the stamp tool to blend in the edges around the latex more so it isn't as shiny and then I also went to hue and saturation and then I dragged the saturation of the image all the way down so the image became black and white. After this I had to add some text that about what the poster will be about such as the title, Facts and contact details.

When i presented my Powerpoint for this assignment to presentate i thought that it went really well and i was quite confident about it however once i had finished Faye said that there was room to improve my presentation by double checking my spellings and proof reading it, however Faye said that there was good explanations, good use of terminology and good knowledge of the final editing.

In conclusion next time i will manage my time more wisely to make sure i finish everything at least a week before the final due in date to double check that i have done everything that i need to pass this assignment to a high level.
