The task was to get an achromatic image and colourized it using Photoshop. I selected a high quality image of Marilyn Monroe. To do this I split the image into sections, a section for skin, a section for the dress, a section for hair and so on. These sections where selections made using the quick selection tool and refine edge. I used adjust layers and picked hue and saturation and adjusted the colour on overlay till it looked good and used the cloning tool to adjust imperfections.

The task was to manipulate a photo of our classmates using Photoshop. I decided to create an effect where his face is made out of paper and is ripped. To do this first I duplicated the layer and gave the front layer a darker hue. the second layer which acts as the back or inside of his head was done by using clone stamp tool and healing brush tool. (The result is bellow)


I selected the back parts i wanted to rip and then the front parts. (Bellow is the front part)

Bellow shows the back part or inside of the head. I also used the mask tool and brush tool to give an inner shadow for a more realistic 3D look.

The task was to create an art piece based around the title 'Light & Dark'. This was done using Photoshop. I came up with the title 'Design is Beautiful' and made it into a sticker. Using the stroke option I gave the 2 texts a white stroke. Using the polygon lasso tool I selected the part I wanted to fold and right click>layer via cut. Rotated the selection 180* and placed it inline with the cut I had made. I used Blending options>Satin to give a shadow and highlight. Using the brush tool on a separate layer beneath the fold I brushed (on low opacity) to give an inner shadow. 
The bottom flower image was obtained from Google search and using Overlay and colour adjustment I created a contrasting 'light' to the otherwise dark top.
