Reflection

Experience

Before I started with all the modules, out of these modules digital photography and imaging is the module that I most looking forward to. This is because I really want to learn about the photoshop techniques for a long time and finally I get to have the oppurtunity to learn it. And as expected, I find this module really useful and fun as I able to utilise all the photoshop techniques in my assignments and I am sure that I will need it in future too. The practical knowledge gained from this module not only enhances my current projects but also lays a foundation for future endeavors in which these Photoshop skills will undoubtedly come in handy.

Observations

I have observed that although using the same techniques but every single minor differences could result in a huge different outcome. For example, although all of us are applying same techniques in class but in the end our results will not be the same. Also, in Adobe Photoshop there are many ways of techniques that we could execute to achieve a specific goal. So, the more skills we learned, the easier we can achieve our goals.

Findings

Through completing all the assignments in this module I found out that every single project has its objective which is to teach us new photoshop skills that we could apply in the next few assignments or future. Other than that, actually Adobe Photoshop could be very free while we were progressing with our project as you can do whatever in your mind just that you have to know how to apply the techniques. Therefore, this inspires and provokes me to explore more new things and as a motivation for me to improve.
