I only had experience with Photoshop before, so learning some new programs was definitely very fun and challenging. Now that I have a better and deeper understanding of them it will make editing photos much more easier in the future. Mr Fauzi's feedback was very appreciated and helpful as well. Observation: Throughout this module I have improved greatly, ...

31.05.2021 - 28.06.2021 (Week 11-14 FINAL PROJECT) Haura Laiqa Naznin / 0345050 / Bachelors of Design in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging LECTURE Our lectures were mostly about consultations, throughout the weeks we simply worked on our final project ideas and compositions. In our classes, we showed Mr Fauzi our work for some feedback and help in what direction we needed to go to. FINAL PROJECT Figure 1.0 Inspiration for poster These were the chosen posters that I decided to use for inspiration and reference for my own. I really liked the colors and composition from each of them which I hoped to translate into my work. I planned to use a picture of myself and to include elements from my interests. Figure 1.1 Sketches I then moved on to draw out concepts of what I wanted. I came up with two possible ideas and after some feedback from Mr Fauzi, I went with his suggestion to use the second sketch. Figure 1.2 Digitalized sketches Over the next few weeks I worked on crea...

There were several ways to animate an object/image, such as scale (which is the size of the image), rotate and position. Week 10: Mr Fauzi taught us more about digital photography, more specifically about exposure settings that help make our photographs look even more dynamic and interesting. Then we were taught about lens perspectives and what the difference was between a DSLR camera and smartphone. Each has it's own pros and cons, it all depends on whether we can afford it and make it work. TUTORIAL Week 9: We learnt about layers and composition in After Effects, as well as what keyframes were. Week 10: We were taught about what the lighting do's and don'ts are to improve on our photography. He told us about his experience with workin...

3.05.2021 (Week 5) Haura Laiqa Naznin / 0345050 / Bachelors of Design in Creative Media Digital Photography and Imaging LECTURE Week 5: We went through last weeks digital collages for some verbal feedback from Mr Fauzi. The first part of the task was a simple composition whilst the second part of it we had to experiment with adjustment layers. Once that was done, we were introduced to the next project which was to design a poster. This will occur over the next few weeks. He talked us through the steps for poster design. TUTORIAL Week 5: Exposure editing using the images they have provided us. The first part was to edit Shazam into an environment as if he actually was there, and the second part is to insert ourselves. PRACTICAL Figure 1.0 Original image For the second part of the task, this is the picture that I will be using to insert myself into the environment. It's a photo from back when I used to live in Qatar, so it's rather outdated, but I thought it fit decently i...

Then we learned about rule of thirds and the golden ratio which are di...
