LECTURES

From the last exercise, Mr. Hafiz chose the best digital collage composition and for the next exercise we were told to play around with the layers, adjustment layers, and filters. This exercise is very simple and concise, it makes us more familiar with Adobe Photoshop.

Best Composition

From the 3 compositions, this version was the one that gets picked. The concept for this particular collage is just an abstract trippy look, the elements picked are very far from each other (fishes and buildings).

Adjustment Layer Changes

I made the fishes into black and white, while the buildings gets a change in the hue and saturation settings.

Figure 3.2 Changes made to the elements

The idea was too make the buildings and leaf pop out by making it very vibrant in different colors. To enforce idea, the fishes color was changed into black and white to make it look mundane and bland. The background grunge texture was also changed slightly, by making the vibrance lower, it gives it a more washed look.

REFLECTION

This exercise was more simpler than past exercises that we've already done, it was really fun changing the look of the elements to make it more vibrant and colorful, overall this exercise was really light and is a breathe of fresh air.
