Lightbulb tree

Lightblub tree created on photoshop

16th October 2014

In one of our workshop lesson I had to combine two images into one and make a creative image. A picture of a tree and a light bulb was imported on to photoshop. I decided to incorporate the picture of the tree into the lightbulb so that the tree is effectively inside the lightbulb. various tools were used on photoshop like the marquee tool and the lasso tool to select and delete the parts I decided to incorporate into my work. On the light bulb I carefully selected the filament inside the bulb so I can delete it. Thereafter using the mask and brush tool I combined the tree and stem into the lightbulb to create one image. After that a shadow of the tree was created, by copying the tree and making the opacity lower than the image. Finally I changed the brightness and contrast of the image, to make it stand out and look effective.

Newsletter

Front page of a newsletter created using InDesign

27th November 2014

A newsletter was created using Adobe Indesign in one of our lessons, In order to get use to the software. First of all we had to create a new document which had a bleed of 0.3cm all around. I used basic tool like the blocked rectangular shapes and the text tool to create the text and shapes on the newsletter. Thereafter there were various tools to change the style and how the text was displayed on the newsletter. After all the text and shapes were created I added some images onto the newsletter. The images could be manipulated in various ways as you can see on the newsletter. One way was having the text going round the image and the other way is to have a blocked image placed on, which could be adjusted and cropped into size.
