Lesson 2nd October (Photoshop)

In the first half of the lesson we spent time on the Mac's doing a Photoshop tutorial session, where Mickey firstly showed us how to add colour and change their effects, add shapes and text to a blank page. He then got us to transpose an image of a butterfly into a image of a light bulb and then after that he got us to cut out an image of a person an add to a picture of tower bridge to make it look like they were there. I also learnt how to use layering effectively and change the order of text. We were then showed where to blog our work, so I then wrote one for a previous lesson.

For the second part of the lesson we got into pairs and worked on our magazine front covers. Me and my partner looked through and selected one of our photos, this was hard as our photos that we taken weren't as good as we thought they were, so we attempted to send photos from my partners phone to the Macs but that idea still didn't work so we stuck to our original image and put it against a graffiti style background. By the end of the lesson we hadn't got very far and decided to name our magazine HUSH.
