FOCUS WEEK JAN 2010: NATIONAL THEATRE LANDSCAPE EXHIBITION AND DIGITAL TRAINING

The first part of focus week we attended a small exhibition at the National Theatre. It was a exhibition of photographs which were entered into a competition. The photography was nice and featured some amazing landscapes throughout Britain. There were some interesting pictures which took an usual look at a landscape, focusing on the details. I did notice that about 95% of the images used photoshop effects namely Curves.

The second part of focus week involved developing my digital skills. I launched myself into CAD and managed to create a basic plan with measurements. I also attempted to use CADs 3D modelling. This was tricky but I think with practice both will be useful.

Using some online tutorials on Utube I also worked on photoshop skills. In particular I had some fun playing with effects to alter faces. Here is an example of before and after of Helen Mirren...
