Technology Skills Week - Overview

During this week I have expanded my skills in order to build my knowledge and confidence in creating a piece of photography.
Creativity is referred to when something new is created e.g. artwork. During this week, I believe that creativity has been expressed through the use of experimentation which have adapted into ideas.








It could then be investigated that theory and knowledge could induce creativity, as creativity usually produces good results.

After broadening my skills with Photoshop, I personally feel that newer and more interesting ideas have adapted, due to the fact that I am seeing what I am capable of doing with Photoshop, as well as what the software is also able to generate in terms of technique.



The need of creativity as a starting point to developing technical skills was apparent through the different stages of the process.

The Technical Skills I developed during this week

SLR Cameras:
  • Taking Photographs using Autofocus
  • Importing Pictures onto user area using SD cards
Photoshop:
  • Using Lasso Tool
  • Using Pallet Tool Bar

During the start of the course, creativity was hard to expand upon due to my personal lack of imagination. However, as the course has developed, I have learnt a wide range of techniques in order to overcome this creative block. These methods will have helped in the development of my print production work - and with the use of experimentation and skills development, this will allow me to push my ideas further.
