Lesson 5:  Digital Collage

Create an A4 collage in Photoshop on the subject of ‘All About Me’ (file name) related to you and things that you like.  This should include words, images (found/original) graphics and colours and a link to a music video featuring your favourite artist/group.

Task 1:

     You will first need to generate, source and import a range of digital images from the internet that can be used in your collage.  Ensure that any original or scanned materials are appropriately transferred and uploaded to your drive in JPEG format for use in Photoshop.

Task 2:

Begin experimenting with digital tools to produce your digital collage.  Areas for exploration include:

·       Scaling e.g. adjusting size of images

·       Cropping to remove unwanted elements

·       Colour Correction

·       Page layout

·       Image manipulation

·       Editing and placement of text

·       Placement of graphics and images

·       Style of text

     

   Task 3: 

   Save your completed collage in JPEG format on your drive and back up on an external device such as your memory stick or external hard-drive.

  Task 4
