Week 3 : Practical : Digital Collage , Adjustment layers & Filters

Lectures

Introduction to Photoshop

1. Lasso Tool
  • Allows you to draw and pinpoint specific areas of a document.

  • When you click on the Lasso Tool from the Toolbar, you will see three different tool options :
  1. Lasso
  2. Polygonal Lasso
  3. Magnetic Lasso
  • Great to use with a graphic tablet because it is similar to a pencil. Unlike a mouse or trackpad, a graphic tablet can give a better flow when drawing and making selections.
2. Pen Tool 
  • Creates a path from scratch.

  • The pen tool is the way that you add these points and the way you drag the tool as you create the points determines how they will look.

  • The fewer points, the smoother a path will be.
3. Layering
  • Layers are different images stacked on top of each other.
    |
  • You can use each layer without affecting another one to make adjustments.

  • Together they form one final image.

  • You can use layers for non-destructive editing.

  • Your adjustments in Photoshop will never destroy the original image.

ADJUSTMENT LAYERS & FILTERS (Week 4)


Fig 1.4 Pre Compostion 2 Adjustment.

After getting a feedback from Mr.Fauzi he said that he likes the first and the second composition, and i chose the second composition. and then Mr.Fauzi gave us an exercise to adjust layers and filters. I have already used filters even way before so i dont really need to change anything so i changed the typewriter and it is done.

FINAL OUTCOME

Feedback

  • Mr.Fauzi said he likes the first and the second composition too , again i love both of the design but i prefer the second composition because sometimes simplicity is best. however he suggested me to change the color of the typewriter to the original color to make it pop out.


Reflection

  • Another fun assignment for me! not even considered as an assignment i feel like its an activity instead, it was pretty rushed because i just go back from my hometown and i didnt have my computer back at home :')) !! Learning photoshop is also very fun because ive always wanted to use it for a long time.
