Introduction to Digital Print


Repeat Patterns 


I really enjoy working in Photoshop so I was really excited about learning how to create interesting designs and prints through this program. I would say that I have an intermediate level of knowledge on how to work Photoshop so I found the class quite basic, but in a way I am also glad that it was basic because I have always taught myself how to use Photoshop so by Dan teaching us, it has majorly increased how quickly I am able to do things and also gives it a much more refined finished look. 
Before today this print would have probably taken me around an hour to produce but after being taught how to define images as patterns and quickly insert them into other documents I am now able to make a simple print like the one to the right, in about 10 minutes. 

I think that the thing that really works about this pattern is the colour ways, at first I used really bold oranges and blues but changed them to subtler colours and also increased the opacity by using a process that Dan taught us. I can honestly say that I didn't really find any problems with working in Photoshop and creating the different digital prints. So that I am prepared for Wednesdays lesson, I’m going find an image that relates to my work, so that I can tie everything in together and the work that I produce during lesson can influence my project.
