06/10/08 Photoshop session 1 - Henok Isak

During the Photoshop lesson we were had a little tutorial of how to use Photoshop. The teacher taught the class the basic techniques of how to cut the images out and place them on the magazine and how to use simple effects. At first I found this software very difficult to use because things were going wrong and I was not familiar with the software to correct my mistakes. However, after a while I found out how to use Photoshop properly after exploring the different tools and effects you can use.

Choosing a picture was difficult because there were many that came out nicely but I found the one picture of myself that stood out amongst the others. The image took a fairly long time to cut the image out because I didn’t want to make mistakes as in the previous picture I tried to cut. Once it was cut out properly, I experimented with the effects I could use and then I came across the glow effect and I immediately decided to use this because I believe this will make my magazine cover stand out amongst the other magazine covers in the class because I believe I was the only one using that effect. I was very pleased of the image even though it was a kind of accident it came out like that but that’s what my magazines about because it was a good accident which is a paradox.
