Week 6 | 10th September, 2019 | Prasad Joshi

Today was our first day working with photoshop. We learned that the difference between photoshop and illustrator is that illustrator is based on vectors, whereas photoshop is based on pixels. Therefore, photoshop is used more when editing images and to create raster based artwork. Illustrator, however, is used more for creating logos, designs and graphics, instead.

When photoshop was first introduced, it was a little difficult to work with it because there was some difference between the tools, certain settings and functions. It was more varied and vast. However, once we delved into, I could easily work my way around it and figure it out. We were taught of the the basic tools again, such as the shape tools and free transform that can distort the images, create perspective, scale, rotate, skew, or warp and image.

I experimented and explored the tools under free transform and replicated my bedroom and surrealistic vibe of a galaxy scenery from the window.

This activity also helped me improve my perspective skills. I learned how to align the objects and images and recreate my room.
