Adobe Photoshop!

A program that I love and adore! When Adobe was making this program they knew exactly what they were doing! Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular image editing programs there is. From altering images like photos,downloaded icons or even scanned artwork; with its large selection of tools you can create your own image from scratch. 

1.As you can see the first image is badly damaged with creases and scratches and folds all over it.

2. I used the clone stamp and healing brush, to get rid of the damage; and the dodge, burn and blur tool to adjust the different shadows in the background, as well as on the bodies.

I successfully managed to restore the picture back to its original state.

4.Using the same tools as before, It was quite easy to fix the scratches on the bodies. But the most difficult was the eldest boys face. As a deep scratch cut right through his eye, there was no way I was able to fix it. So I had to copy and paste his left eye onto his right.

Our First Uni Trip!

For our first trip we were taken for an educational drawing trip down to Poole Quays in Dorset. We had to look at different typefaces used on logos, signs, buildings, walls and anything visual that gives us direction and information in our everyday lifes, such as icons, 
symbols, signs etc. It was quite a chilled and relaxing day as we all went our separate ways in groups or even alone and took pictures or did sketches, that would be used in our first assignment. 


"Poole, is the home of which many claim to be, the worlds largest or second largest harbour in the world situated in the county of Dorset on the south coast of England. It has a population of 138,288making it the second largest settlement in Dorset. 

The harbour

As a popular tourist resort it attracts many visitors with its large harbour, Blue Flag beaches and its famous  Arts Centre."
