Profile
1. Previously I have used Picnk on my Facebook account to edit photos but that quickly became very restricting so for the last couple of years I have used Adobe Photoshop. I have also used Windows Movie Maker, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash. In other years I haven't really done any major projects, just some school assignments here and there.
2. I really like Photoshop and other programs similar to that. I'm excited to learn more about other programs but it would also be great to get a few more tricks to use in Photoshop.
3. Other things that I'm interested in or take up a lot of time in my life are soccer, global service, indie music, photography and skiing.

Shaping an idea / concept
Stage 1
Collect and Select
Use images and words or phrases to determine an idea, theme
Collect – open mind – subconscious
1. Select – edit – three grouping – general ideas
2. Revisit – Collect – add to collections
3. Verbalize – add words to each collection
Stage 2
Develop the idea / mood
Using colour, texture, patterns, lines and brushes
1. Use three colours to create a colour scheme
2. Determine the mood of colours dark /light, bright/subdue etc.
3. Lines determine sight lines – static dynamic
4. Textures, patterns, brushes help to create rhythm
Collect and select
-Keep an open mind
-More is better
-It might not fit your idea, but that doesn’t matter
-Don’t worry about file size.
-Allow for an equal value of each image
-Allow for ADD
How to post images to the blog:
Using Photoshop
-All images must be flattened
-All images must be RGB colour mode
-All images must be JPEG
-All images must be 72 dpi
