Week 3

Week 3

Lecture Slides:

In today's lecture class, we have a small introduction in using Photoshop. We learn about pen tool, lasso tool and layers. We also use a website name The Bezier Game to practice on using the pen tool. It was fun, even though not easy to do so. We use pen tool to draw things, use lasso tool to select and cut things while use layer to do layering and separate components clearly.

Tutorial & Practical

I have completed the physical collage before class, Mr. Fauzi comments on my products and we continue on in digital collage. 

I have my first class in week 3. We are to watch tutorial videos prepared by the lecturer and learn Adobe Photoshop. We also need to create 3 digital collages for our task 2. I practice and try to create a collage in class.

1.

My first collage is quite complicated and is way too crowded. The concept I go for is a fishbowl effect, it's like watching the world inside a fishbowl, from the perspective of a fish. Pretend to be a fish, we watch the busy train station, filled by with people, bustling. But they have freedom, but as a fish inside a fishbowl, we are stuck here.

First try:

During the class session, I ask for opinion from lecturer. Mr. Fauzi suggest using golden ratio as a guide to create this collage. And ask me to turn the collage into vertical as most of the poster are in vertical. I should use less layers, less elements, so it won't be too messy like this. I change the design according to the comments given and have the final outcome as below, it does looks neater than the last one. 

In this collage, I use:

- layering and blending 

- object selection tool. 

Final outcome:
