All about feathers

In C.A.D we learned illustrator and photoshop techniques and processes. With in the 3 sessions we had  we experimented with photoshop and illustrator, then were set a task to create 3 imagines on our own using both of the programs. We had to use feather imagine, which linked in with our British Birds project, when creating images on these programs. 

 This is the first image I created using illustrator and photoshop. In this image I used feathers to create the shape of the union jack. I really like the way it came out, as I was initially worried about what to do and how to create it. I also like the contrast with the feathers and the normal outline of the union jack, it makes for and interesting effect

This is the second image I created, where I used wood-chip as texture behind a silhouette of birds. I thought the wood-chip at the back gave a great texture, which could match the colour of the birds feathers.

This is the last image I created using photoshop. It was created using an image of brightly coloured feathers, which were repeated and shaped to look like there her hair. I also changed the opacity so you could see the strands of her hair behind, which gave for an interesting look. Another technique I used was the smudge tool which helped to blend the feathers together, making them look like one. I did the same thing for her make-up as well. This image turned out better than I expected; it turned out look more like an illustration witch is absolutely beautiful.
