Pressure Ink Printers

Austin Tothen

Different Types Of Printing

     Relief Printing

     When you are relief printing basically what you do is cut out or carve out a drawing that you want to print; typically with wood or a hard substance. After you have cut out the picture you want to press ink into the peace of wood. After you have ink equally spread out on the wood then you place a peace of paper on it and press lightly on the paper with something that has a flat surface.

Intaglio Printing

     Intaglio Printing is were you take a sheet of metal and make really small  sketches in it by scraping it with different tools. The different tools do different things some make large scrapes and some make really small one that help with small details. With intaglio printing you need to pay close attention to details because the way it comes out you can see it very clearly and it is easy to see the mistakes. Anyways after you sketched your picture out you clean it off a lot of times and make sure its smooth and shiny. after you have the mettle done you apply ink onto it and place paper on it then use a machine to apply a lot of pressure on it.

Lithography  Printing

     With this kind of printing there is a very long process in doing it first you need a specific stone that can absorb water and oils (you can use lime stone). What you want to do is draw you picture on the stone once you do that layer the stone with specific chemicals and do that over and over again, then apply water and grease over and over again then add a chemical that can separate water and ink and then apply ink and place paper on it and yep you guessed it press hard and there you go you did it.

  (This is what I kind of looked like.)

       I personally have done some Relief printing in the past. when I was in 8th or 7th grade I was in an art class and we took these weird things that felt like erasers and we carved out images and took ink and lathered it on them afterword's we put it on paper and for our final project we printed them on clay boxes we had to make when the clay was still wet and we burned them after words making a glaze like paint of then box with the design on them mine was broken in the kennel because it wasn't properly glued together so I only took home one side of it I wish I had a picture but sadly I don't. if I had to do another kind of print like these I would defiantly do another Relief print but this wood this time.

Panorama Project

My Panorama Project was very difficult in many aspects of the creation so don't hate on it too much please and thank you. Anyways this is my Panorama of things. Step 1. take pictures step 2. put them in photoshop. step 3. do the thing ( make it look good).

Pictures
The hardest part of this project was probably taking pictures. The pictures were hard to take because you didn't really have much to go off of you had to come up with your own ideas and figure it out your own way. If you cant tell already it was really hard for me to come up with the ideas and take pictures of things actually more then half of these photos are ones that i found of my phone that i had taken before this project. The base number of photos we had to have was 10 pictures which made it even harder to do. so most of mine are just random photos that i somehow fit together. I think.



Creation
When i was originally was making this i had no clue what i was going to do but as is was going through this i just kinda messed with it until i got an outcome that i liked. there are some things that probably could have been better now when i look at it. so if you want me to fix some stuff im looking for things to change so just tell me. basically i had to make these pictures fit together so that it didnt look like a different picture and make it seamless. i really like what i did with the trees and the sunrise on a beach and the streets connected with the dog in the middle and now thats not my dog its a friends. any who the things that i think that could have done better with the Enterprise but i didnt really know hot to do the lighting for it honestly i really just put it in there so add more pictures because ten is a lot for the amount of pictures to take by our selves that dont have people.

POP ART PROJECT

     POP art Challenge!!! Pop art is a art stile that isn't very popular any more but it is really cool basically you take a picture and you photoshop it to were it looks like it is abstract or a comic or a drawing and its really cool. honestly when I started I had no clue what I was going to do it was really hard to cut out the person and put stuff in that made sense in the workshop now I did figure something out that worked so I do indeed hope that you like it.

(Here is the final product)

 
Process
     This project really showed me how I can use my emajination and how to use filters so amplify the effect of my project. so when I was making this project I really wanted to try to do it my own way so I think did that but is wasn't easy to get there. when I first started I couldn't figure out what to do. everything I tried I failed at and I really had no idea what i was going to do. I want to say about three days before I had to finish the assignment I had no idea what I was going to do but then me and my friend were talking about the windows logo and then I got an idea to do windows and It worked really well.


   



     Things I wanted to do

     What I really wanted to do at first was thoughs presidential pictures were there are only like two colors implemented into it but that didn't work. then I wanted to make the person different colors or look like a painting but it just didn't look good with the coloring. but I think I did good with what I did.



Hoped you liked it

     I hope you like it so I used the brush in the background I used shapes to fill in the white and coloring and I used the cutout filter in the photoshop filters this is like the 5th try of me trying to make this so hopefully it's good enough.

     Hello everyone so I had to take a photo of a man and a land scape and make something like the photo you see up above. yes look at my beautiful creations. any ways this project was really mainly because I got to do my own thing and not have to do it step by step like other projects and it felt good to discover things on my own. So thats all I really have to say about this but yeah I enjoyed it.



     The first picture was the main one that I did and the one I really tried on so I used a few filters and cut out his background and his shirt. when I first started on this project I had I good Idea of what to do because I did something like this in my photography class and too I already had an idea of what to do. the more Ideas I had the more challenging it got because I really wanted to do all the ideas. but I think the ideas I used were worth it.












This second one was just a test one and I didn't put much work into it I basically just did the same thing but used a different picture and color. so I don't have much to talk about, but I hope you like this project.

Another Photoshop Tutorial Day in GD

Ok so we are doing more photoshop in e-Com and its pretty fun but a little boring to be honest id rather use illustrator to make like a logo or something. any ways the photoshop was pretty easy and I got it done really fast probably because I use things that are harder to use that aren't photoshop in my free time at home sometimes so when I use photoshop it is so much easier to me compared to what I usually use. at one point I had to use paint to do a photoshop design thing. 

     honestly I turned out pretty good here look

yeah that was on paint which was a pain in the but.

anyways it was fun and I really hope I get to do more in the future.


here are all the photos that i ended up photoshopping

I made the text like this to take up space so it looks like I have been doing more over the summer.

     Oh Boii its been so long since I've done one of these so bear with me if what I say doesn't make any sense at all. So this year is my second year of e-Com at ONW and I chose to be in the Graphic Design class which has been pretty fun so far. this class is one of if not the most fun and interactive class I have this year.

Any ways we all know why I do these things in my blog and that is to discuss projects that I have recently done in e-Com. the most resent thing that I have done is a Photoshop project which honestly was probably the most fun I've had in this class this year so far, thats not just because its the first project weave done. mainly because I love messing with photoshop and adobe things.

I have always wanted and wondered how to use photoshop at its full potential. I've always been interested in doing stuff like that and e-Com has given me that opportunity and I have really been having a lot of fun with it, and if I can get a job in the future for it I will be the happiest person alive.

So lets talk more aboot the project. the project was taking photos that were taken and fixing them by removing thing to make them better, changing backgrounds getting rid of little thing that ruin the pictures so we watch tutorials and things to help us get used to photoshop and to be honest that really helped now I know how to do so much more things that I didn't know how to do.

THANKS E-COM!

E9 Experience 4th Quarter

     So my e-Com final was interesting and fun. my team and I had to create a business and a product to sell in our business. so we started in animation were we had to create and add and a product design that was really tricky and I fell sick wile we were working on it so I wasn't able to finish my part, but it turned out fine because some one els in my group was working on the same thing. 

     While we were working on the product we decided that we would make a language interpreter or LI. LI got a lot of upgrades and changes as we thought of new things that it could do. our company was called Em-brace Global. we decided the name for it because we wanted our product to be a thing that brings the world together. that is why we chose to go towards a heart touching style.

     The project itself is that when we were finished with the product and the adds and the website we would try so sell it to some sharks. so we also had to work on a presentation and try to come up with things that people would ask about the product so that was fun and a little tiering.

     So after we finished the animation section we had to create a advertisement for a TV add witch was probably one of the easier things we did. shout out to Mrs. Zimmerli for being one of the best film teachers no offense Mr. Cooper but I haven't had you as a teacher "YET". so the ad was pretty easy to come up with an idea but making that idea come true was the hardest part of that. part of the product.

     After the video portion is were the fun really started to begin with graphic design and web. at first there was a big deduction on what to do for the logo but after a while it became clear. we all decided to keep the idea of the earth. 

So all and all my E9 experience was pretty good fun hard and really gave me more of a purpose in what i want to do in the future.
