LECTURE

This week, Mr. Fauzi gave us a brief explanation about our next project, specifically to design a poster for the community. We can start from doing a research about our topic, brainstorming the ideas, defining the concept to developing it into one impactful poster. Mr. Fauzi also told us some of the key features to create a successful poster project:

1. Layout
2. Flow
3. Colour
4. Title
5. Text
6. Graphical element(s)
7. White space

Photo Manipulation Part 2: My Reflection

Using the same techniques, we were assigned to create one using our own picture.

fig 2.1 the only full body picture of me I can find on my phone that I think might work for the exercise

fig 2.3 layering it with the hearst mansion, adding a colour matching, shadow and reflection 5/5/21

When creating the reflection, I did not use the exact same technique as part 1 because I realized that my pose and Shazams are different. I placed myself closer to the pool and it looks like my shoe almost touched the water so I think every part of my body has to be in the reflection as well.
