REFLECTION:

Overall, in Project 1, we learned many skills in Photoshop. We explored different layer modes to create various effects for our digital collage task and used digital collage techniques similar to the cut-and-paste method we applied in our physical collage. Additionally, we practiced photo manipulation by cropping our own photo, placing it within a given background, and adding shadow effects to show harmony in the overall image. Lastly, we learned how to recolor black and white images using layer masks, the quick selection tool, and refine mask options.

The project was very interesting, and I'm grateful to Mr. Fauzi for his guidance. I hope to become more familiar with the techniques I've learned and to apply them in upcoming tasks.
