Summary of My Lecture

In this lecture, Mr Fauzi taught us about using the adjustment layer & filters inside Adobe photoshop. Adjustment layer is quite a useful tool in editing, discarding adjustment or restore your original image at anytime. After adding an adjustment layer, a properties panel will appear several functions to edit our image. For example, brightness / contrast, level, curves, exposure and selective color. As for filters, it is known as an essential element of Adobe's graphics editor. Filters can be used to change color, add blur, or create new image effects.


TUTORIAL
For week 4 tutorial, our lecturer provided us these videos talking about vital tools and demo of doing project 1. The first video discussed about removing background in Photoshop using pen tool. The link is here.


The second video discussed about fixing skin tone using curve adjustment layer in Photoshop. The link is here.


The third video explained about adding an adjustment layer to a single layer in Photoshop. The link is here.

DESCRIPTION: For this design, I choose to make it into the concept of midnight version. Starting from the dark blue background, red blood moon and a building with outstanding colors. To produce this design, I learnt how to use clipping masks to separate the objects from changing their colors altogether. Hence, I used vibrance & saturation the most in this picture. I had also adjusted the brightness of the picture so that it won’t looked too dark.

REFLECTIONS


In conclusion of my learning process throughout the past few weeks, I did enjoy using photoshop to do my exercises. Moreover, I was happy that I got to learn about adjustment and layers while doing my composition work. I was looking forward to learn more about using photoshop in the future.
