RESEARCH:            The research component should be comprehensively recorded on your blog.

1.              Find two (2) Photoshop images which could be included in your poster or DVD cover. Include a copy of each of these images in your workbook, together with annotations which analyse the images in terms of the elements and principles of design (e.g. are they balanced compositions?). Comment on what you think makes these images successful.

2.              Include reflections upon each stage of the process, commenting upon Photoshop tools used and any problem-solving techniques employed.
3.              Provide an overall evaluation of your finished products (what have you done well? what could you improve upon for next time?), including an assessment of how well you have satisfied the criteria of the design brief.

You must demonstrate your ability to use:
·       a broad cross-section of the Photoshop drawing tools (including the text tool)
·       photographic images imported into Photoshop
