Project 1: Parts 1 & 2

1. Reflection

For the past seven weeks, the tasks assigned in parts 1 and 2 have been fun activities for me. They are entertaining in a way that teaches students how to use Photoshop tools effectively and efficiently. Some of the tools I have learned include the importance of layers, adjustment tools, masking, and effects that can bring elements such as shadow to life. If you were to ask me what my favourite activity was, it would be Part 2 (B), which is recolouring black and white. It was an activity that required precision in utilising both the brush and quick selection tool, which are essential to getting used to.

I am looking forward to what's to come in Project 2!

Lectures & Activities     2. Instructions     3. Process 1. Lectures & Activities Week 1 Mr. Shamsul gave a brief introduction of the module and what's to be expected in the coming weeks. In regards to the first task, we were to come up with at least 4 ideas/themes and choose 1 to settle with through the entire continuous project. We were also advised to install Adobe Animate for an activity next week. Week 2 I presented my ideas for the project and decided on 'Manual Coffee Brewing.' No practice on Adobe Animate due to Mr. Shamsul having a flu. Week 3 We learned how to set up our document in Animate, and started getting used to the tools.
