Photoshop Practise.

Throughout the duration of this AS we will be delving more into Photoshop, really unlocking its capabilities- but to get ourselves into "the swing of things" if you like, our task was to produce our own copy of this practise poster.

 I have a fair amount of experience with Photoshop itself, but I had never made a poster spread using the programme, so this was all new to me. All in all, this piece of work took about an hour and a half to produce, from a blank canvas; to what you see here. With step by step instructions it makes it far easier to complete the task in hand, and I think it'll come in useful when I produce the both the preliminary task magazine (the school magazine), and the final piece (the music magazine).

The bit that was the most tricky was definitely erasing the background from behind Amanda Seyfried and Gerard Butler's figure. It was intricate, and it required a lot of patience and time. Thankfully, due to the previous experience I had, I found it less difficult than I thought. The only real problem I experienced was getting rid of the grey and white blocks that covered the page. Katie, just get rid of them?! Yes. But how to do that will forever remain a mystery to me.

 I will include a step by step guide on how to achieve the finish product in my next post. But for now- bask in the glory, that is my practise poster.
