INTRO TO PHOTOSHOP
- Adjustment layer
- Filters

Adjustment Layer
-A group of a super useful, non-destructive image editing tools that add color and tonal adjustments to your image without permanently changing its pixels. 
-you can edit and discard your adjustments or restore your original image at any time. This will make your workflow in Photoshop more flexible and efficient, and is an absolute must-know.

Basic understanding of Adjustment Layer
When you add an adjustment layer to your image, a new layer will appear over your image and a Properties panel specific to the type of adjustment you’ve selected will pop up. The Properties panel will allow you to modify your adjustment layer, which in turn will modify your image.

Filter
-Using filters to edit photos is an essential element of Adobe’s graphics editor. 
-There are filters to change colour, add blur or create completely new image effects. Photoshop offers a virtually unlimited variety of filters for this purpose.

WEEK 3 - PEN TOOL EXERCISE (BEST COMPOSITION)
DESCRIPTION:
I created three different design compositions using the digital collage assignment from week 3. I decided to extend this design out of these three options. I crop out the door from the picture given and place it on top of the building to create the sense of going back in time. The unusual building arrangement gives the overall appearance of suspension.

WEEK 4 (ADJUSTMENT LAYERS & FILTERS )

DESCRIPTION:
I try to think about colors and filters after selecting the ideal composition for my collage. The buildings are now a yellowish blue, and the fish have been changed to a darker hue. For the overall filter I used a photo filter to turn it yellow and added grain and noise.
