Image Trace - Adobe Illustrator - Vector Graphics
Image Trace
To use image tracer on Adobe Illustrator,I began by hand drawing possible logo ideas using simple shapes then transferring the design onto black sugar paper and cutting them out.
After cutting them out, I scanned them into Photoshop using the scanner using 3 different layouts.
After saving the scans in Photoshop and opened them in Adobe Illustrator, you can use the image trace selection to adjust the anchor points to alter the shapes.
To help make the shapes even I used the ruler tool as guidelines to straighten the edges as I found it hard to line the shapes by hand.

Health and Safety:
Whilst using a scalpel, cut away from yourself to avoid accidents.
Use a cutting mat whilst cutting the paper.

Photoshop - Filters
Using my own photograph, I used photoshop to experiment using different filters. This can be seen on the contact sheet (made using Bridge).
Photography Adjustments - Contrasts
Using one of my own photo's, I practised using the contrast tool on Photoshop. As you can see from the original image and the edited images, the contrast has been altered slightly to bring out more colours in the image so there are less tones.

ISO
What is ISO?
On a film camera, ISO is the 'speed'of the film. The higher the ISO, the better the image will be if the lighting is low.
On a digital camera, the ISO shows the sensitivity to light. The higher the number, the less light is needed to take a photo.
When using ISO 50 or ISO 100,it is ideal that there is a lot of bright light. When there is a low light, shutter speed can be made slower to allow more light into the lens, however the images can be blurry. So increasing the ISO will allow the shutter speed to be at a chosen speed depending on what the subject is.
Which ISO speed to use?
Using the Auto ISO setting will allow the camera to determine the setting suitable for the light conditions.
Manual ISO allows you to choose your own ISO number:
ISO 50-100 > Suitable for bright days
ISO 200 > Suitable for cloudy days
ISO 400-800 > When the lighting is low but not dark
ISO 1600+ > For indoor shooting or night shots,this can also be used for 'action shots'.
Aperture
Aperture
Aperture works with focus, choosing the right aperture setting allows certain areas in the photo to be in focus and blur out other areas. The aperture is controlled by a hole which light passes through, the hole gets bigger to allow more light in, then smaller for less light. This effects the depth of field, which is the amount focus that is visible in a photograph.
The aperture is measured on an internationally agreed scale. It is measured in F - Stops.
The full sequence of the measurements are:
f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22 f/32
Large Aperture is f/numbers f/2 and f/4, this allows a shallow depth so that the foreground is in focus and the background is out of focus.
Small Aperture is f/11 and f/16, this allows a large depth so that everything in the image is in sharp focus.
