Digital Sessions

The first semester of 2013 in the college started with a launch of a Digital Sessions module. The set of digital exercises presented in this module concerns different problems in the various areas of digital design.  The exercises aim to improve our skills and eventually fasten our workload and add to our creativity.

Good digital skills are among basic requirements that always come up in the graphic designer job descriptions.  The good command of the skills will certainly improve our chances for employment in the future.

Image styling.

The photoshop image styling was the first of the exercises that we had. This exercise gave me the opportunity to have a closer look to the range of possibilities that the PS gives to manipulate an image.  

I discovered that there is a way to apply changes to a photo without changing the original copy.

The adjustment layer allows this. The manipulation of an image in a non destructive way is very simple with the adjustment layer, that not only  keep the original image untouched, but also gives a chance to edit the changes and apply new ones whenever we want.

Next week goal:

To practise the new skills and discover more about the photo styling I`m going to search for on-line sources to expand my knowledge.
