So I started out this week by playing around with putting my own image in the background of a page, playing with the lasso tool, and such like we did in class. I came up with a product that I kind of like, and was planning to make the new background for my typography page. However, a recent poll of friends and family has come to the conclusion that it’s nice, but it doesn’t really best display my information. You can see the revised page here if you like, and feel free to way in on the debate of course. The page the most seem to like is here so that you can do a proper comparison.
As far as the readings for this week go, I thought they gave some interesting techniques and tips for using Photoshop. I particularly liked the site on creating gradient backgrounds, although that had more to do with proper mark-up than Photoshop. Also, I found Karen Eismann’s restoration and retouching techniqures in Photoshop to be incredibly helpful, but a bit overwhelming. Like Sherpa John said, I’m glad that Spring Break is coming up so I will have more time to play around with Photoshop and discover its various functions and techniques.
