Photoshop

Intro to Photoshop…

Hiya!

So today we started looking at the software "Photoshop". To begin with i found the software very complicated and hard to use! However after receiving help from fellow students and teachers who were familiar with photoshop i started to get the hang of it and it all became clearer. 

As i became more familiar with photoshop i began designing my own advert which was aimed at promoting a bank. During the lesson i worked very well and managed to produce 2 designs for an advert, one of which contained 3 different pictures interpreting 1 word and another containing 1 picture that represented 3 different words.

The adverts needed to have an association with the HSBC slogan "The more you look into the world, the more you recognise what really matters to people"

My first advert shows how different people have a different reason for smoking. It has 3 of the same images (Somone smoking a cigarette) and has 3 different words describing each one. Addiction, Enjoyment and Anxiety are the words i have chosed to describe the picture. 

• I chose anxiety because some people smoke for a very sad and more understandable reason which is when they are depressed or upset. 
• I also chose Addiction because some people only smoke because they are very interigued by cigarettes and they are addicted to it which means they cant stop because addiction is usually uncontrollable.
• Finally, i chose enjoyment to describe the picture as some people only smoke for the pleasure and excitment or they do it to fit in which therefore makes them enjoy it!

Here it is: 

My second ad is on how different people view teenagers. This advert has 3 different pictures represented by one word. The word represtenting the images is "teenagers". The three images i have included is a group of intellectual teenagers, a teenage gang & a group of african teenagers fetching water. 

• I chose a group of intellectual looking teenagers as the public have developed a sterotypical veiw that all teenagers are either trouble or in gangs. Therefore i have chosen a image that is completely the opposite of that view to show that not all teenagers are troubled and that there are people out there who DO think positivly about them. 
• I have chosen to put an image of a gang on my advert as it is the most common sterotypical veiw people have on teenagers however it deffinatly shows the reality of what some teenagers ARE actually like.
•  On the other hand, my last picture represents teenagers in a totally different way because people usually forget that there are teenagers out there struggling in poverty and have very little access to things as little and simple as water (as shown in the picture). 

Here it is:

So, hope you enjoyed reading this!
