6. Photoshop Practice

In this workshop, we edited some files on Photoshop and by the end of the workshop, we created a presentation on PDF which can be used to present our work. Here are some screenshots of the technical processes below:

The process above was steps on how we enhanced our sketches to make our work look vibrant and lively - and also got rid of unwanted lines. We also looked at how we should use enough white space and centre our sketches equally.

The next part of these screenshots is the way to create an InDesign document to create a presentation and export it into a PDF which is universal. This bit to me was quite familiar because it links to our studio work and it's a technique that I've used for each brief.

However, we learned even further skills where we can create interactive pdfs that can include videos and you can adjust how you want it to begin. We can also create buttons and navigation links that could direct us to hyperlinks or videos.

6. Showreel

Here is the final outcome from the last AfterEffects workshop with Sara. I've created this glitch effect that I was embedding from my Speculative Future brief and created this title and credit page. I've also included free sound from Bensounds so credits to this individual. My inspiration for this little personal touch came from the Black Mirror that I've also attached below:

Using a Youtube tutorial, I've gone out my own ways to create a glitch effect on AfterEffects that I've attached below:

5. Stencil Part 2

This is one of the workshops I missed due to the weather conditions. However, I still made an attempt to do this at home. Surprisingly, I was quite impressed with the outcome because I brought back the 'XO' and I used quite a few different ways of printing on which you can see in the pictures below.
