A lecture about introduction to Photoshop was given to ensure students
understand the usage of the pen tool, lasso tool and layering. This is
to facilitate the digital collage exercise afterwards.

DIGITAL COLLAGE DESIGN
With the limited and specific images provided by Mr Fauzi, I had to
utilise the masking layers, colour editing and effect gallery to give some
variation to my collage.
Composition #1
Played with masking layer for the fish image as I just want its silhouette. Then, I dabbled in the effect gallery to create a texture for the fish and tweaked its hue to an orangish one.

Composition #2
Sliced the window planes of a building image into small pieces and warped them to form a wave shape. The warp tool is definitely a fun tool to play with.

The concept for this collage started off from wanting to have a one point perspective.

FINAL OUTCOME
Proceeded with composition #2 and played with adjustment
layers. I focused on bringing in a more dramatic feeling and
making the focal point more obvious by pumping up the contrast
and lowering the brightness on the edges of the image,
creating a vignette.

REFLECTION
I was able to think of more creative methods to manipulate the images
when we were only limited to a folder of images. Initially, the images
available did not interest me at all because to me, they were just
floors, buildings and fishes but this exercise forced me to explore out
of my comfort zone and discover how fun adjustment layers can be.
