Assignment number 3 was making a photo montage using photoshop. This was for our lesson on Raster Graphics. Raster graphics are an image made up of a grid of pixels, known as a bitmap. Raster graphics can generally be scaled smaller, but making them bigger can cause pixelation of the photo. Raster graphics usually have larger file sizes but there are some ways to compress these images like JPEG or GIF. I learned so many new things, as I have never used photoshop before. I learned how to use a combination of colors, words and pictures to create a photomontage. I made mine about my two best friends from college.
Some of the things I learned how to do were:
-using layers to edit certain aspects of the photo at a time, and easily making changes to certain parts
- selecting the exact part of the photo that you want to edit
- changing the coloring, saturation, hue, brightness ect. of either the whole photo or just a selected part
-softening the edges of certain parts of a photo
-different ways of creating and positioning text on a photo
-making all or some parts of a photo transparent
-being creative and interesting/thinking outside the box
