Skills Development
Low and High Key Photoshop
High Key (Colour) - I used an image of myself and used Photoshop to change the contrast and made the image look slightly sharper.
High Key (Black and White) - I used the same image with the one above but in this edit I used Photoshop to change the whole colour of this image from coloured to black and white by changing the hue and saturation.
Low Key (Colour) - With this image I cropped myself out from the background using the 'quick selection tool' in Photoshop and added a black background by adding a new black layer and pasting myself into that black layer.Low Key (Black and White) - With this image I cropped myself out from the background using the 'quick selection tool' in Photoshop and added a black background then changed the hue and saturation to make the image black and white.
Pop Art - With this image I cropped myself and pasted it 4 times and placed them in each corner of my paper and positioned them so that they would look perfectly aligned and for each section I changed the saturation from the 'image' tab.
Evaluation - I feel like I did excellent in this project ( low/high key Photo-shot ) because I enjoyed taking the pictures of myself and editing them using Photoshop and also learning new skills as I never knew before how to change the hue and saturation on Photoshop but know I am skilled in that field as shown in my 'Pop Art' edit. If I could improve one thing in this project, I would change the background to a whiter background and maybe have lighting in each corner of the room, so that there wouldn't be a grey/black figure in the background.
Evaluation - I enjoyed my 'Camera Angle' and 'Shot Sizes' project because I enjoyed taking pictures my classmates and friends, and discovered different types of camera angles and shot sizes which I didn't know before and also the meaning behind each of the camera angles and shot sizes. I could of improved this by having a different lighting for each image.
For the camera angles and shots I had to copy and paste and image from google and pasting them onto Microsoft Word because after unfortunate events the whole of my 'Skills Development' got deleted and I had to restart all the work I've done. So in order for me to save time, I copied few images from google and my own images, gave them a description and put them onto Microsoft word, and then 'print screen' the screen and pasted it onto my 'skills development page' to save time.
Premier Pro (Trailer) - In this project I used Premier Pro to create a trailer using free to use and unedited YouTube clips and non copyrighted music. From there I used my skills that I have developed in the past whilst using this programme and edited the clips by myself and added few affects such as fading in the clips and audio to match with on another and added end credits. https://youtu.be/1nDmw6K4IT4 - I enjoyed making this trailer as I am familiar with this editing software and knew what I was doing which allowed me to spend more time in editing this trailer.
Illustrator Creating Pattern - In this image I used Adobe Illustrator and made this pattern by creating a single line and duplicated it until I was happy with a certain amount to fill up the page, I then pressed Ctrl+A to select all the lines at once and duplicated that layer. After that I selected the 'Scallop Tool' and started to create a pattern up to my likely for my passport page. - In this i found making the pattern quite challenging as I never used the programme in the past (Adobe Illustrator) but as I did get help from other students and my teacher I got used to the programme fast and was able to complete this assignment in one lesson.
Photoshop - Layer Masks - With this edit I used two images of a certain street from 40 years ago and an image of the same street but closer to this date ( 11/10/2019). Firstly I added two layers with one image of the same street in each layer and then overlapped the layers, after I selected the Brush Tool and removed few parts of one image to show the other image, so that it blends with each other to give this layer mask effect. - I enjoyed this because the steps to achieve this look was simple as there were no complicated steps to create this layer mask. All that was required was to add to images and place one on top of the other and select the vector mask. 
Illustrator and Type Experiments - In this image I used Adobe Illustrator to create different styles of fonts and used different tools to change the shape of the words and thickness of the orders. I used a 'shape' tool and created a circle and then pasted my sentence onto the shape to create this curly/ bending effect.
I also added a border around few sentences and added thickness to them to give the word a stronger and more meaningful sense to it when said. - In this project I used Adobe Illustrator and I found this easier then my other projects as this one was simple compared to the others as all I had to do was create a phrase and then change the font size and thickness. I also had to add a shape to the page and paste my phrase to the shape to give a circular look to the phrase.
Photoshop - selection,crop, hue, spot heal and clone stamp - In this Photo Shop edit I used 3 images provided by our teacher and our task was to use different tools to create a mixture of all 3 images into one, for the this image I cropped out the blue bridge on the water and cropped the sky from another image and fit it into this picture to make it look original. I also cropped out an image of a florist and decreased her size and placed her in the fields in the image. Another tool I used was a 'spot heal and clone stamp' tool, and this allowed me to remove unwanted parts of the image and it would be replaced automatically with its surrounding. An example is the large grassland in the centre of the image, it had cows and few extra buildings and with the 'spot heal' tool it removed the unwanted objects and copied its surrounding green land and replaced it.selection tool' for each image and select a part of
each image and combine them into one, which is in the first image. For the other image I used the 'quick selection tool' again and crop out the flower from the bouquet and place multiple flowers around the image.
Practice Landscape - In this edit I used Photo Shop to create a practice landscape edit of my 'final fantasy image'. This was a practice edit and the main things that was necessary for this edit was to select different fantasy images from google and use Photo Shop to edit them onto one image. I used the Dubai Jumeirah beach and added flying pigs from Minecraft, which was
unrealistic to this image as they are imaginary animals, I also added a galaxy background to make the image seem colourful and add some questions when viewing the image. - I enjoyed making this edit as I could use my imagination and it helped me with my final piece for my 'final fantasy image' as it allowed me to get a idea of what I wanted to make for my final production and I gained few skills whilst making this practice.
Exercise in In Design - (For this project my original copy got deleted as I was working on it and all of a sudden my computer decided to shut down so I was told to redo it but use the Alice In Wonderland Text) In this I used a A4 document on In Design and changed the master to give it 3 columns on the left page and on the right page I added 3 columns and then increased the gutters to 6 mm then I added a new page. I was then instructed to add the Alice In Wonderland Text then place a text box and add a section of the text into the text box then had to change the font to Sans Serif and also change the font size to my desire and the leading to 16 pt. I had to the add a new text box, copy it then delete the box. Then I had to paste it across the whole page and then paste in the Alice In Wonderland text and the results ended up as shown in the image above. - I didn't enjoy this project as much as the others because due to some unfortunate events my original work got deleted and I had to finish it in my spare time and I found it harder the second time because I had to make time to finish it off and I didn't have the help sheet so I had to do it off my memory which wasn't good because I had forgotten majority of the steps needed to complete this but I managed to remember the important bits and finished the project in time.
