Practical

Progress 1 updated:

• A gradient has been applied to selected elements to create better color balance and visual harmony.
• Additional elements, such as the robot and a semi-circular building, have been incorporated into the inner layer to further emphasize the theme of innovation.
• A butterfly has been placed on the robot’s hand, symbolizing the blend between nature and technology, and reinforcing the main concept of the artwork.
• Cloud and sparkle elements have been added as visual highlights to enhance the overall composition and maintain balance throughout the piece.

Tools involved:

• gradient fill>clipping mask (as object filter)
• level fill > clipping mask (clouds)
• clip layer mask (to erase the music chords)
• exposure fill > clipping mask (to clarify the layer of objects)

Reflection

This week, I continued developing my poster by applying techniques learned from previous tutorials. The process allowed me to revisit and reinforce the skills I’ve gained so far, putting them into practical use. As I progressed, I began adding more visual elements to enrich the design, making the composition feel completer and more balanced. This hands-on experience not only helped strengthen my technical abilities but also allowed me to fine-tune the visual flow and ensure that each element contributed meaningfully to the overall message of the poster.
