Internship 1

I gott o do an internship with Studio Breisky.

One of the tasks I got to finish, included stamping letters digitally. I needed to clean the original file, crop and set it transparency. Then reference the Czech word file and copy paste the text letter by letter.

It was interesting and a new approach on how to work with a mix between digital and traditional media.

Summary 15 of FGP

It was a very enjoyable project overall, even if I felt like I let down my lecturer and cveouldn’t find a proper way to communicate with her.

I am still pleased with the result of this journey, and am very happy to have made this magazine into reality.

I can’t wait to include it in my portfolio.

Photography proceedure

since all photographs couldn’t be connected by theme/subject/etc. I chose to connect them by editing them the same way - I used a gradient map on all photographs and then ran them trough bitmap

I feel like it could be easily abused and it makes me SO SO SO uncomfortable 8)
