For our first artefact we had to create a slideshow using statistics, I chose to do the statistics on myself this was fun, I enjoyed working out how much I use/do things.
We had to create images to represent these stats in Photoshop. So we had a workshop on how to do the basics in Photoshop. I already knew how to use Photoshop as we used it at college but this was a good refresher of some things.
I love Photoshop its great you can use it to edit photos and create cool images using the effects, also the ability to cut out using tools like the lasso and magic wand make editing images easier. So I found creating my slideshow fun I used images from google and edited them in Photoshop adding text, cutting bits out and changing odd things. For my slides ‘I’ and ‘Do You’ I wrote them in my notepad and scanned them into my computer all the rest I created in Photoshop. You can see them by clicking onto my Flickr account to you right —–>
Here is a screen-shot of me using Photoshop to edit one of my images:

I enjoyed creating this first artefact and think it turned out well.
