Like the Back of My Hand

Photoshop Exercise 5 
DESCRIPTION: Create an 8 x 8 inch flyer using color and a grid system to direct the viewers’ eye and to establish visual hierarchy. Select various tools and strategies from Photoshop to develop your composition. For instance, color shapes at various opacities can be added as another layer of information or parts of one image can be cloned into another. Attention will be given to effective use of typography, line, image, figure/ground relationships (open space) and experimentation. Use the whole page. Make sure your document is RGB and properly resized for the web before saving as a jpeg and uploading to the blog.

Process: 
1. Write a set of facts about your life, and create a photographic image of your hand. Other images can be used but your hand should be clearly represented.
2. Map your life onto the image of your hand. Position each element on a 30 or 45-degree angle. Use scale, position, color and transparency to organize the information to create visual interest.
