Week 1: 23/9/2024
Lecture 1：

In the first class, the professor briefly introduced the definition and significance of our course. We understood the importance of color and arrangement of the picture through the explanation of Photoshop.
Fig1.1,Why you need to learn photoshop？

Imagination about digital images was mentioned frequently, and the professor gave us ten small suggestions on how to make or design successful digital image products.
TIPS #1: Follow The Tutorials
TIPS #2: Experiment
TIPS #3: Memorize All Keyboard Shortcuts
TIPS #4: Try to Replicate Others Work
TIPS #5: Do Participate in Design Competitions
TIPS #6: Subscribe to Online Galleries
TIPS #7: Smart Objects for Smart Designers
TIPS #8. Scaling Artworks and Proportions
TIPS #9:  Use Actions to Personalize Work
TIPS #10: Organize the Files Properly

Fig1.2,Tips 1
Fig1.3,How to create？

In addition, we use a video (as shown in the picture) to learn how to make a basic image imagination work with the materials at hand. I put the display of this work in the feedback, so you can see it clearly.

The specific steps are as follows
1. Gather graphic contents from print materials
2. Determine the concept & direction
3. Decide orientation of background
4. Finalize composition

FEEDBACK

Week 1:23/9/2024

Fig2.1,Even though we have nothing in our hands

This flat picture shows a lamb on a cloud with a crown on its head, but note that the wool on its body is not its own, but from its mother. You can clearly see the lamb slowly leaving the village and drifting towards heaven.
This image was created for a song (even though we have nothing in our hands) about a lamb who goes to heaven and is reincarnated with everything on it (like its crown) except for the sweater that its mother knitted for it. Because a mother's love is never something outside of the body.
The image conveys to us a timeless truth with quite warm tones and delicate brushstrokes, which is why I love it so much.

Fig2.2,Pity party

This photo shows a broken bear doll and a relatively complete cake with pity party written in red raspberry jam.This image is also the album cover of the song of the same name.
This image shows a regrettable party in red and white, showing the disappointment and anger of the party owner.But the complete cake expresses the mood of the party owner who still wants to have a perfect party. With one picture, we can feel all the emotions in their entirety.

Fig2.3,Time is like cherry blossoms
This image shows an hourglass, but the sand in it is pink for a while, and after it falls, it turns into cherry blossoms.
A pretty great idea, isn't it? The blue background adds a sense of transparency to the whole picture, stretching into a more distant space. And there, there is the quietly coming spring and the beautiful cherry blossoms.
