Week 3

Lecture :

Topic - Introduction to Photoshop 2

We gained further information regarding Photoshop's Lasso Tools, Pen Tools and Layering features to have precise control over selecting, shaping, and organising objects in the designs. During the class, we played a game called Bezier Pen, which is designed to help you become proficient with Photoshop's pen tool. Since I was learning this technique for the first time, I find it to be really enjoyable. Besides, we were instructed to install Photoshop and get ready for next week tutorial class.

Gestalt Theory Gestalt theory is a set of psychological concepts that describe how the human brain naturally organises visual information by viewing things as a whole rather than individual pieces, creating a coherent and meaningful image, even when presented with complex arrangements.  (i) Similarity Similarity refers to the concept of having multiple elements in a design share visual characteristics such as colour, shape, or size, giving the impression that these elements are related and belong to the same group.

It features a close-up of a woman's face as the main focus. Her skin is pale, almost ghostly, and her eyes have a weird red hue.
