《Progress - 1A》

    I sourced my pictures form Uniqlo's Life Wear catalogue and scrap pages borrowed from my friend's assorted magazines.

    I wasn't sure that I could find enough material in those pictures, so I opted to find inspiration and pieces on Pinterest that I could use on top of those.

    Inspired by how flowy the watercolour-esque texture from the front cover, I decided to go for a sea/aquarium theme for my Collage. We were tasked to apply one of the 2 ratios which were Thirds, and or The Golden Ratio

    It was purely coincidence that when I added that part of a plate, it looked like a fish fin, but ill take it!

    Following in-suite with the ocean/sea aquatic theme, we were tasked to create a collage from a list of pictures given to us by our lecturers and photoshop them using Adobe Photoshop.

    I had created multiple base layouts based on those pictures. They weren't much as I still had gone into the application without prior knowledge of Photoshop itself.

    I chose to go forward with my first base and started adding more elements to make the composition more fuller. I also learned the basics of the essential inner workings of Photoshop during this time to expand my skills more.

    I had used 2 different types of metal textures and created layer masks for them to look like raining clouds. I also played with the hue and saturation to make it more synchronous with the composition with pops of orange, since it was its complimentary colour on the spectrum.
