We have to a simple object of our choice as part of our assessment, I was trying to do an aloe vera drink bottle.

19. Digital Colour

This lesson was about basic colour theory and how to apply it in Photoshop.
We learned about different colour schemes, like RGB and CMYK, colour depth, the colour wheel and hue/saturation. 
We had to explore these in Photoshop, changing the channels and playing around with hue/saturation, and looking at different colour swatches such as Pantone.
I already knew most of these, so I haven't had any difficulties.

I felt like it was an easy task, because during my previous studies, I had to do something similar, also I had to write a short essay about the history of Bauhaus from Design History there.
We were using Illustrator to complete the task, this was my outcome:

10-12. Shapes and image tracing in Illustrator

On this session we were exploring how to create custom patterns in Illustrator, also image tracing and pathfinder. The Image tracing bit is a bit blurry to me, but I really enjoyed learning how to do patterns.
