Week 1

This week we were introduced to the course.




To get us started we downloaded Gimp the GNU image manipulation program. I had a number of problems with the program crashing, once when I had just completed the image but not saved. This was a good life lesson, I have now learned an important life lesson, to SAVE, SAVE and SAVE. Well at least I've learned this at the start of the course.

After finally completing a worksheet I created the image below.

Multi layering was used, together with a range of tools such as painting using gradients, inserting shapes and images, blending, smudging and perspective tools.

The image was then exported from the program and saved as a jpg image.
