Introduction
This project is our introduction to Photoshop, a raster or bitmap image editing software that some say is the greatest invention since the wheel.
Our first Photoshop project will take advantage of some of the most powerful elements of this program to create work inspired by the act of collage.
It will also take us on a collaboration journey that involves the entire studio. Be warned: collaboration is not easy! However, cloud computing strategies have fundamentally changed the terms of engagement.
Objectives
After completing this project you will be able to:
- apply your knowledge of the the visual element of color and the visual principles of abstraction, contrast, value, scale and hierarchy to a raster graphic environment
- recognize and use the visual principles of layering and transparency
- work with imagery in a layered collage context
- select the appropriate resolution for a raster image
- work in a cloud-based file-sharing context with proper file-naming and file-sharing conventions
