My poster resonates my personality and also my own personal interest. The hand painted watercolour art style used in this poster is to depict the humbleness, comfortable and inviting feeling when inspecting the poster. The ribbons used in the poster is an element that represents the coquette aesthetic, that is also paired with the pink rosy flowers that radiates a sweet and lovely energy.
The main subject of the poster which is me, is placed at the center that is surrounded by a golden circular frame. The emphasis on the main subject is to make it a spotlight among the other elements to exert a feeling of extrovertness and outgoing. While the music sheet that is placed behind the main subject is to express my love for music that is continuously expanding. The music sheet is actually an easter egg which is a music piece from Cinderella where my favourite quote that I still cherish - “Have courage and be kind”.

Experience:
As the modules have come to an end, I am very grateful for the guidance from all my lecturers and friends. I have learnt many new skills and have a better understanding of Photoshop. Compared to the first week and now, I am more confident in using Photoshop as I am more familiar with most of the tools and have learned a lot throughout these 14 weeks. Shockingly, to compile all these artworks that were created by me, I feel so proud and I definitely see that I can improve more.
Observation:
Among these 3 tasks, I particularly enjoyed creating Double Exposure in Project 2. I find it very interesting, but at the same time very nerve-wrecking. To be honest, I had to re-do the Double Exposure for more than 3 times as I was not happy with my outcome. But thanks to that, I learnt many new tools and shortcuts in Photoshop. The classes were mostly fun and easy-going, it was nice to step out of my comfort zone and editing photos that has my face in it. I am usually shy about my self-portraits, so it was quite nerve-wrecking to try something new. Moreover, learning from lectures, practicals, and tutorials, enabled me to learn more effectively. I would say this is the most enjoyable module as I have always been interested in editing photos through Photoshop.
Findings:
I found out that in this module, it is more to editing photos and using Photoshop. I initially thought this module was about photography since it is named in the module code. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this module and will be looking forward for more. In the future if I had the chance, I would love to enhance my photography skills since I wasn't able to do that in this module. Additionally, I would also want to learn more about After Effects as it is complicated but interesting to learn. Cannot wait to create animations with effects and cool transitions.
