LECTURE

On the third week of the lecture, we are introduced the features of Photoshop and learn of the basics of Photoshop. We get to learn selection, layering, tool box and marquee selection tool (use to select and masking).

We also learn the lasso tool, a tool used to draw or select specific parts of a photo. There are three types of lasso tools:
- Lasso
- Polygonal Lasso
- Magnetic Lasso
 
In addition, we also get to learn how to use the pen tool. The pen tool is a tool that is used to create path from scratch. There is even a website to help improve skills in using the pen tool call The Bézier Game.

The pen tool create extremely precise shapes and paths it is not natively made as a selection tool.

We also get to learn more about layering. Layering are different elements or images stack upon one another. Each layer can be adjusted with affecting the rest of the layer. A few benefits of layers is that there can be edit photos non-destructively and never destroys the original photo.

TUTORIAL

 

 

PRACTICAL

For this week's practical, we are tasked with creating a digital collage with elements provided in google class. Here are the three compositions I have created:

Fig 2.1 Digital Composition 1
 

Fig 2.2 Digital Composition 2
 

Fig 2.3 Digital Composition 3
 
I find that doing this exercise is much more easier than the physical collage exercise especially since the selection of elements are much less than the physical collage. There is really no meaning behind these compositions. Just place the arrangement base on aesthetic and color contrast. I was sort of going for a book cover kind of collage.

I was initially joining another group from the morning class. Since Mr. Mike has mentioned that he has no problem with students joining the group of another class. I decided to join this group since there are people I am familiar with here. On the group chat, that is when we get to select our first role which is the first research. I choose technology for my part and to get research about the AR glasses this company uses. I – Interpret the events The reason why I decided to move is because my first group does not ...
