lesson 13

It was e-learning week and therefore lessons were done online. For studio A lesson we had to create a poster using typography and some pictures. This is the expected outcome of our work.

To start of we had to type out the words to fill up a black background and then tilt it 45 degrees clockwise, a pretty simple start and not much issues faced yet.

Next i had to drag the image of the model into the canvas, re size it and resize it. Once that was  done i had to inverse select the text and delete the photo contents. It was just as confusing as it sounded as i had a lot of trouble trying to elect and invert select the required text and deleting the right part of the picture. After 5 minutes i got it and the text nicely followed the colour of the background. Just did some adjustments to the brightness and contrast and had this.

The last step was to just add the text "Dj music, only the best hits" and put effects like outer glow to make it stand out. This was my final piece.

In conclusion the project itself although sounded fairly simple, it actually took me more time than expected. Some things such as the invert selection caused me problems but it was overcame, mainly because i the keys on my mac were different than the instructions so it was a silly mistake made. So that was part 1 of my egd e-learning complete.
