Photoshop

I learnt about Photoshop at school but having seminars about it has been interesting as I have learnt new ways to do things and refreshed my memory on certain methods!

In our first Photoshop seminar we learnt how to create blocks of colour, select and copy parts of an image, and how to duplicate an image. I created a page called 'Ornate' by using these methods.

 

In our next Photoshop seminar we learnt about colour palette. This followed on from the lecture we had about colour theory. We were asked to produce a colour palette from an image relating to our brand, my brand is Mulberry. I created three different colour palettes to compliment this image. I did this by selecting different colours from the actual image and using them to create different coloured blocks. For my second colour palette I thought about the proportion of different colours to see what effect this had on the viewer's eyes. I wanted the dark brown to be the strongest colour in this colour palette and I found by having just small blocks of the brown against bigger blocks of colour it stood out the most. 

In our colour theory lecture we also learnt about; hue, value and chroma. In our photoshop seminar we learnt how to change the hue and saturation of an image. Meaning I created a page incorporating images from my brand (Mulberry) in different saturations with different hues, which I think has created an interesting effect. I also used the other methods I learnt in previous Photoshop seminars, such as creating colour blocks and copying part of an image.
