ICT Department Home PageKS3 ICT work - Y7/Y8 Digital Artwork


Spring Term 2003 - Year 7 and 8 pupils have been exploring the use of Serif Photo plus to produce digital images.

The design brief was to produce a 400 x 400 pixel square image that uses symmetry and is based around a theme of leaves or flowers.

The task involved the following stages:

  • Creating a new 400 x 400 pixel blank image;
  • Filling the background using one of the graduated fill options available;
  • Creating a new layer and drawing the initial leaf/flower image;
  • Adding NOISE and BLUR to add texture to the image;
  • Duplicating and flipping the layer until 4 symmetrical copies were arranged in each corner;
  • Flattening the layers to end up with 1 layer and the background;
  • Experimenting with various digital filters and deformations;
  • Exporting the final image as a JPEG file.
