(through a compilation of exercises made while learning.)

The result of a beginner fresh into the programme with zero background.

I learnt how to import and mask images, change hues and add textures.

I had wanted to make an Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) poster based off an illustration made for a festival. The challenge for me at the time was finding real images that could replace the drawn elements. I felt happy at this conundrum but looking back at it now a year later I can clearly see why my peers weren't too appreciative. 

Image Manipulation (without actual effects) is a very big foe. Arranging fruits to allude to another subject was the task at hand; a task I struggled with verily.

My goal was to promote a lemon and a grape drink; thus the idea of creating an exciting rival poster came about. Basing the concept off a famous scene in Jojo's Bizzare Adventures was a road I wanted to lead on.

Here I learnt the importance of breaking up tasks and time management.

The result turned out better than expected. We learnt how to 'burn' and image into the background.  In this exercise I leant that the simple things make a big difference. 

This was a fun exercise and made me realise travel adverts aren't so simple. To make everything come together; it was important to make all the landmarks a similar hue to the background colours. 

Editing professional imaged; the essence of photoshop itself. I learn how to blemish, colour grade which truly granted me the understanding how powerful this software is.
