PROCESS

Week 5 | PROJECT 1B - PART 1: Hearst Mansion
In this tutorial we learned how to quickly photoshop some things to images and pictures most efficiently.

We learnt: 

  1. Quick Selection Tool

  2. Layer Mask

  3. Filters


  4. Color Correction

We try using the Quick Selection tool to subtract background.


  • SHORTCUT KEYS ( to increase our efficiency & familiarity ) :Zoom in/out, increase/decrease brush size, subtract from selection/ add to selection.
FINAL OUTCOME: 

W5 | Date created : 24/10/2023

Then we were to create another photoshopped image based on the SHAZAM exercise, but by inserting our own photo to replace the SHAZAM’s layer:

  1. Take a photo of ourselves (me) using the right lighting techniques and eye level

  2. Apply the Shazam’s exercise techniques

  3. Replace the Shazam’s layer with our own photo

  4. Apply suitable Colour Correction and finalise our work

CAMERA ANGLES ARE IMPORTANT!

REFLECTION

I realised that a little mishap for placing layers or creating new ones are quite important as it could effect the whole composition. 

Photoshop is not something new, or something that is trending for a short term, it is something designers use for a lot of their works. It could be applied to daily life and it could help a lot of designers to create new designs and clean up some "oopsies" or simply, faults. 

In short terms, photoshop is essential to all designers to create unique designs with the application. I become better at using photoshop after our lecturer taught us from the very start, my basic design communication had improved as well.
