SKETCHES
IMPORTANT:
The idea was to achieve an eerie ambience, to encapsulate the beauty of
silence. The hands are in a position where it symbolises a cage, for us
women.
Society’s cage around us. The colour red, symbolising my passion and
vigour, becomes emblematic of my unwavering determination to break free
from the societal constraints and earn a place on my terms. The phrase
"golden light" embodies my ethos, an embodiment of strength that helps
me to navigate a world where societal norms often impose limitations on
women's aspirations and capabilities.
PROCESS
FONT (illustrator):
I started designing the font in illustrator to fit the idea of
composition I have in mind, a simple and minimalistic typeface.
Adobe Illustrator to Photoshop
I imported another photo and cropped the hands of this image to apply
to my main image. The main image's hands were then discarded and
replaced with my other picture's hands.

Then I imported the font I made in the module, Typography.
Date created : 13/12/2023
PROCESS 01 (sampling)
Date created : 13/12/2023
PROCESS 02
Date created : 14/12/2023
"golden light" was then formed after consultation as it better
describes the future ahead of me, the anticipation and tough road
ahead I have to face.
Illustrator : Gradient --> transfer to Photoshop
opacity : 91% , effect : gaussian blur

Date created : 15/12/2023
Adobe Illustrator : intertwined
Date created : 20/12/2023
Then, I used photoshop to bevel the font to a metallic-like text. The
ribbon/thread symbolises "fate" in Chinese mythology, as if it embodies my
future and destiny all in one.

Importing it to After effects, then frame rate was increased from 10
fps to 11 fps.
Learning digital photography and using Photoshop has been an exciting journey. Starting with the basics of photography, I learned about composition, lighting, and framing photos. Understanding these elements helped me capture better images. When it came to using Photoshop, it was like stepping into a whole new world. I discovered how to enhance photos, adjust colours, and manipulate images, giving them a different look and feel.
Experience and Observations:
During the course, I noticed how composition plays a vital role in making photos visually appealing. I learned about the rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing, which significantly improved my photo compositions. Using Photoshop was both fun and challenging. I explored various tools and techniques to edit images. It was fascinating to see how small adjustments could completely change the mood and impact of a photo.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this module taught me the essentials of digital photography and the power of Photoshop. I now have a better eye for composition and understand how editing can transform images. It's been an enriching experience that expanded my creativity and skills in capturing and editing photos. Overall, it's exciting to see how these newfound skills will shape my future projects and creative endeavours.
