Week 2: Exercise (Practical)

For this task, We need to list down 3 of our favorite Photoshop pictures from Pinterest and why we like them. Below are the pictures I chose and why I like it.

Fig 1.1, Artwork 1

Reason: The reason why I really like this artwork is because the colour selection makes it look so realistic. The replacement of fire with water is really a good idea for artwork.

Fig 1.2, Artwork 2

Reason: The reason I choose this artwork is because this artwork look very beautiful and elegant. The combination of goose on watery phone idea is pretty nice. The artwork giving me a vision like the phone is projecting a 3D Video, very realistic.  

Fig 1.3, Artwork 3

Reason: The reason I chose this artwork is because it is so funny. The combination of texture and colors of the banana is really fit to connect with a duck. the artwork even makes the detail of a duck in the banana and it creates a little duck wearing a banana peel as cloth.

REFLECTION

The first time using Photoshop is really a lot of fun in it, just very suffering during the learning process. Sometimes did a really little blur about how this happened but it's pretty awesome.
