LECTURES

Week 1

In the first class, teacher  Fauzi Yusoff explained to us how to use photoshop. 

Meanwhile, we can use Photoshop to make some creative pictures and posters. 

There are also some professional fields that can be applied, such as creative synthesis,

 interface design and so on. You need to download Photoshop after class.

Week 2

We learned Photoshop in week 2, focusing on lasso tools, pen tools, and layering. After the lecture, when it was time to make a collage, the teacher demonstrated how to make a physical creation by making a collage on YouTube himself. Our task this week is to complete our collage according to the selected elements and create 3 different collages.

Here are 3 of my favorite images I found：

Creative Picture 1：

1.The Dwarf Chronicles Part 3

                                     fig.1.2

When I saw this poster for the first time, I was attracted to the concept illustration, because I like various works of cyberpunk, this image expresses some fantasy of the author's future world, and also makes me have a vision of such a world.

Creative Picture 2：

City of Memories by Daniel Spacek

fig.1.3

When I saw this poster for the first time, I was deeply impressed by its illustration, the adult showed the child to the past to express his longing for the past. Looking at the future, expressing his fantasy of the future.

Creative Picture 3：

fig.1.4

When I first saw this illustration, it reminded me of my own childhood room.

final drawing after listening to the teacher's feedback.
