Got to start somewhere

Learned some basics in Photoshop today: Adjusting brightness and size as well as save pictures for web publications.

What might seem boring to a Photoshop pro is pretty cool to me... This program has been a miracle tool to me so far : )


Want to see how I did?


(low res)
Made this picture brighter - now you can tell the number on his shirt and it's clear he's in sports. Before it was so dark that the sun was the only thing really recognizable.


(medium res)
This picture has been brightened and darkened. Before it was very bright on the right and a bit dark on the left.


(maximum res)
Made this one a bit more sunny (meaning brighter), it looked like it was about to rain before. It's actually my favorite.

After this slow but solid start, I hope to get better with PS with every time using it. And frankly: I like what I learn!

Everything new

Here we go - 2nd day of class at all.
As an international student not having been here for even one month, start of classes is actually another exciting thing. Glad I picked (or was made to) the MCOM63 class. I hope to get some basic knowledge of the wohle web-stuff so I don't have to depend on the pros for every little thing I need to get done. Especially the whole design things will be very interesting.

Having worked in advertising and communication for quite a while, I assume to know quite well what I need to learn and what I can bring in to group assesments. And as a news junkie, I am online on a frequent base. I guess this isn't too bad of a mix : )

We'll see - I am definitively motivated and look for ward to what's expecting me this semsester!
