Week 2  Expanding your Knowledge:


Group Exercise: 

Going over the presentation from this week, the group continued to discuss the utilization of different sources, and how to assess the particular information obtained from these sources.


Practical - Design Choices: 


Creating a Blog background

The practical for this week involved selecting a design background for our blog and addressing the following criteria:

- Shape;
- Media; and
- Style.

Any tools/ Materials could be used to design the blog background.


Background 1: 

Shape - Original photo..symertrical blur...
Media - Photoshop CS5
Style - Pop art maybe...

I got the inspiration for the bright colours from the pop art image of Mona Lisa, to the left.

I also found this tutorial clip on youtube demonstrating how to make your own photos look like pop art. I think I will try it...maybe use this for my label idea for.
