During week 1 with the practical class, we were playing the bezier game. The
game is to help us to master with the pen tool and it will be useful when
we're using photoshop or illustrator. It is to creating anchor points and
drawing curves around the shapes provided. Honestly, it was quite struggle for
me as I'm a slightly slower learner, everything was new to me and I am not
used to with their hidden function, example "shift" and "alternate"
keys.

There's more different kinds of shapes are coming in different levels. From a
simple geometric shapes to organic shapes. It was quite hard while doing into
their exactly curve shapes.The result of the shapes in mine are quite messy at
first but sooner I getting better and familiar with the tools.

First Attempt : 4 nodes to spare
Second Attempt : 9 nodes to spare
Third Attempt : 17 nodes to spare
I decided to give it a few try after the first attempt, as I still not get how
it really works with the tools, I try it again for the second times and kinda
get it about how the alternate keys work, Mr Martin told me is to change it
directions , as a result for the third time , here I am with the 17 nodes to
spare !!
List down 3 favourite graphic design composition work from Pinterest.
Explain it on the e-portfolio blog, why do you like the
designs?
This digital collage design was created by Johanna
Goodman. It reminds me the paper dolls that I play with like I did when I
was a child. I love how the design looked straightforward and creative, with a single figure defined
by head, arms and feet. It scaled-up the girl as the largest
elements in this poster which attract attention and
focus. The dressed is in unusual objects like a surreal costumes and
placed in a surreal setting. It includes different types of landscapes such as icebergs,
mountains, and clouds.

The poster design style is in holographic chrome textures. I love how it
looks abstract, with the striking and chromatic effect and turns out into
visually pleasing. The design looked artistic in bold, colourful and vibrant
also with a sense of scientific approach which stands out and draw attention
to the eye.

The poster reminds me of cyberpunk and scientific-fiction design and the
contrasting colour (black with orange) looks matches and aesthetic together.
The girl at the centre is a strong focal point, she looks in 3D and added an
unsettling futuristic component to the poster. I find it this will be a very
creative, cool and different way to create a digital portrait.
WEEK 3 - PATHS , MASKING , LAYERING

Fig 4.1 Progress of Exercise Week 3 (07/04/2022)
During Week 3 practical class, we download few table pictures where we have to apply and add to the background provided. I learnt about how to masking and using the lasso tool to pinpoint the specific areas
of the table. It was easier as I do have experienced in using Photoshop but still I manage to learnt other tools while making the table into PNG.

(14/04/2022)
During week 4 we learnt about specific on the adjustment layersin removing background including with the tools like brightness, contrast , levels , curves and exposure while using a model as our reference during the practical. The challenging part will be the details of the woman's hair. Luckily we learnt about that really helpful while selecting the hairs with using the tools 'define hair" which is a lot more quicker and easier.

Fig 7.0 Progress in Recolouring
Fig 7.1 Reference images (Portrait , Face and Hair Colour)
Fig 7.2 Masking and Layer Mask (Face/ Background)
Fig 7.3 First Attempt in Recolouring
The first attempt was fun and challenging too , there's was quite a lot of steps have to take note , but soon it was a lot more easier to change the colour of the face , hair and background after the masking , I decided to improve by recolour the hair that might suit the model face and changing the background.
FINAL OUTCOME

Fig 7.5 Before And After / Progress in Recolouring
After done the first part of the black and white portrait , we were doing for the next part which is choosing one of the photo from the folder given by Mr Martin , and search from online for the skin and hair as the reference. And below shown that I choose Rihanna as my reference for the hair and skin colour.
