PRACTICAL

Our tutor tasked us with making 3 digital collages using the pictures he had given us. 

Here are mine:

  Fig 1, First Collage                                                       Fig 2, Second Collage                                                   Fig 3 Third Collage       

After showing it to my tutor, he chose the first one as he preferred the composition of it. I then used the first composition for further editing. I decided to further the contrast of the collage and added some "boxes" to block out some colours.

REFLECTION

This week, I learned how to adjust images in Adobe Photoshop, I used these tools to help me make the digital collage for brightening or increasing the contrast, saturation and more. I also used the adjustment hue to making the image more cohesive and contrasting.
