Assignment 1: Session 1: Photoshop First Activity

Photoshop has been widely used as an editing tool to enhance images to improve their appearance. It is a necessary skill for me to develop as it enables me to show my designing skills, in producing good visual communication and in using narrative media forms to present ideas and information. 

For the first Media Design for Event management lecture, I was introduced to Photoshop by my lecturer. He went through the basics of Photoshop and helped me create an image using the various tools, attached above (where is my Mind?). From this, I learned how to use Photoshop, where I developed skills to support me with the assignment as I have an understanding of the software. Some of the tools I used where Rasterize layer which turns the image into a standard layer and free transform tool which helped me to resize the robot and move it to a suitable place. 

I enjoyed working with Photoshop and became aware of what I did well and what could have gone better as this was something I have never done before. I will be using Blogger as a way to display my Photoshop work and the different skills I came across in the Media design lectures. This will be one method of analyzing the progress I have made throughout the module.
