i realised late last night that today for a workshop we needed to have some drawings. i, at that time , had so far no drawings! we haven't really been given a specific thing we need to be drawing, or even told that we should be doing drawings outside of our group project which is where the focus has been in all our workshops. so for today we needed 3 or 4 drawings, and the e mail said that they couldn't all be linear. i was like linear? i don't even know what that means but judging by other peoples comments on facebook it mean that they couldn't just be line drawings and that at least two of them should have some sort of shading or block colour on them. so i quickly rushed a few drawings. i was not overly happy with them but thought they would do for the workshop, they also had to be scanned in so thankfully i got a scanner over the summer, a good one, and scanned them in at 300dpi, if that makes any difference.
so i turned up to the workshop and to be completely honest with you didn't understand much of what he said. it was about making a pattern which would be able to repeat by using photoshop, but that where it got really confusing. although i didn't learn any of that (although i am going to try to get someone to help me or maybe ask for some help from the tutor) i did find the workshop really useful because i haven't really used photoshop in over a year and it was good to go back to it, it was like a refresher, and it sort of opened my eyes to what i can do with it and i think it will be useful to generate more ideas and outcomes. i did learn about what he called a 'power copy' though, where you hold down i think command and alt and click+drag an area to duplicate the item.
anyway i know its not very good and i probably wont include it in my work but i will try to learn more photoshop
