How to Post Images

Using Photoshop
- All images must be flattened.
- All images must be RGB colour mode.
- All images must be JPEG.
- All images must be checked, and 72 dpi.

Shaping an Idea


Stage 1: Collect and Select
-Use images and words or phrases to determine an idea, theme
-Collect – open mind – subconscious
-Select – edit – three grouping – general ideas
-Revisit – Collect – add to collections
-Verbalize – add words to each collection


Stage 2: Develop the idea / mood
-Using colour, texture, patterns, lines and brushes
-Use three colours to create a colour scheme
-Determine the mood of colours dark /light, bright/subdue etc.
-Lines determine sight lines – static dynamic
-Textures, patterns, brushes help to create rhythm
