6. REFLECTION

Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed each task I completed, as I have a genuine passion for editing and Photoshop. Engaging in these projects allowed me to explore creative possibilities, improve my technical skills, and dive deeper into an area I'm truly interested in. Working on each task was both rewarding and motivating, reinforcing my enthusiasm for visual design and digital art.

Observations

I discovered that creating a beautiful result actually involves a complex process, and I realized that Photoshop isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Furthermore, to make a good collage, it’s important to apply techniques like the rule of thirds or the golden ratio. Therefore, I believe that patience and attention to detail are essential for producing a polished final piece.

Findings

I have learned that merging images into a single composition can produce stunning results, as seen in the double exposure exercise. Through consistent practice, I’ve become much more familiar with Adobe Photoshop’s tools than before. Additionally, working on the final exercise for this project has given me the ability to perform colour correction effectively.
