Week 5.1

Things are starting to get busy now. It is not so much the work load as a whole, more keeping track of all the bits which make up the whole. Perhaps if I try to list everything here it will make more sense.
Hard copy Journals are required for Photoshop, Illustrator and Drawing (all A3). A colour reference file (A4 binder) for Colour Theory. A multi page PDF for Design History, likewise for Photoshop & Illustrator being photographic & design portfolios respectively. Industry Knowledge requires an A4 journal and a digital document covering six topics - these can inform one another and is due week 11. Everything else is due week 13. There are also digital and written submissions for OHS along the way and written tests for Photoshop, Illustrator, Industry Knowledge and Colour Theory to prepare for. That doesn't look so bad now.
Below is an image from my photographic portfolio showing before and after manipulation. I'm not entirely happy with the result as it felt like manipulation for the sake of it, but it was a good test of the advanced masking techniques covered in the course.
