Practical

We have to download all the images from the shared Google Drive and follow the tutorial demo provided by our lecturer as a reference for creating our own digital collage. We need to create three different composition digital collages using the downloaded images and set the canvas size to A4 (vertical) in Photoshop to begin the compositions.

Reflection

Creating digital collages is a joyful experience. I can mix different things, use lots of colors, and try different ways to put them together. Doing this in Photoshop allows for easy tweaks and adjustments to the elements, making it even more enjoyable.

Also, I thought we needed to do the colour adjustment, but it turns out we only need to do the colour adjustment in Week 4. Nevertheless, I already made the colour adjustment and submitted them. Despite that, Mr. Fauzi still accepted my submission and chose my Digital Collage 2 for additional layers and filters adjustments.
