Photoshop planning techniques for Invisible Cities

In our photoshop class we learnt learned about the importance of planning in terms of creating digital artworks for our chosen cities. We watched a series of short films and animations that portrayed the approaches of using techniques such as:
  • Value perspective and tonal range
  • Balance and stability
  • Symmetry
  • Composition and framing
  • Points of interest using rule of thirds 
  • Leading lines

Our task was to first to create a note page based on our task to create more thumbnails for one chosen city. The city that I chose to use was Anastasia, as due to still being unsure of my final chosen city, I wanted to see whether the city of Anastasia would allow me to come up with more ideas and variety than the other cities available.

We first had to create a word stack, which meant that we had to write down the initial key words that provided key details about the city. We then had to find imagery as a source for hand drawing and digitally drawing our thumbnails to create a visual library, along with create a selection of digital thumbnails as a form of practice.
