LECTURE

Introduction to Photoshop:

We were briefed on the basic layout and things that it's essential for us to know, which is the selection, layering, toolbox & marquee selection tools. Then, we move into more details of the tools that we will use the most throughout this module.
  • Lasso Tool
    • allow you to draw and pinpoint specific areas of a document. 
    • is great to use with a graphic tablet because it is similar to a pencil.
    • unlike a mouse or trackpad, a graphic tablet can give a better flow when drawing and making selections.

  • Pen Tool
    • when it comes to actually creating a path from scratch, the pen tool is the most common option.
    • is the way that you add these points and the way you drag the tool as you create the points determines how they will look.
    • the fewer points, the smoother a path will be.

  • Layering
    • are different images stacked on top of each other.
    • can use each layer without affecting another one to make adjustments.
    • together they form one final image.
    • can use layers for non-destructive editing. 
    • your adjustments in Photoshop will never destroy the original image.



TUTORIAL

In tutorial class, Mr. Fauzi showed us what we will be doing for today's practical class. He will send us a google drive folder with all the images we need inside. Then, we will have to cut out the photos inside using the tool we were taught today and create 3 different composition of digital collage using our own creativity. In tutorial class, he demonstrated us the ways to import our files, use the tools and manage our layers.

Mr. Fauzi:

COMPOSITION #3 is the best! Good job Li Wei.
But I need you to remove the Rule of Thirds and Golden Ratio template for this submission. Once you've done, just resubmit it again. Thanks!
