Summary of My Week 6 Lecture

In our week 6, we had learnt about designing posters. The fundamental principles of design are emphasis, balance & alignment, contrast, repetition, proportion, movement and white space. The principles above are the rules a designer must follow to create an effective and attractive composition. However, it is not compulsory that we have to always follow the principles to be "good". The elements of a design should be viewed as moving parts that combine to tell a story. One will be able to break these graphic design rules to create your own signature style once you had familiarize ourselves with these principles of design.


TUTORIAL
For the tutorial lessons this week, Mr Fauzi showed us three videos as shown below. The first video taught us about basics of photography such as teaching us how to adjust aperture, ISO, shutter speed and other camera settings. The link is here.


The second video talks about doing creative product photography at home. The link is here.


The third video explained about how to do bottle product photography on a white backdrop with just one continuous light and a smartphone. The link is here.

REFLECTIONS


I found out that this topic is very interesting to learn as we get to know that a B&W photo can be recolor using the tools in Adobe Photoshop. In week 6, I had realized that I was getting more used to using the tools in Adobe Photoshop which I felt happy about it. With the correct skills and technique applied in our work, we will be able to produce a good piece of work.
