Q.6 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt a lot from the process of constructing this product. Initially, I had no idea how to use the Adobe Photoshop tools to get the best results. For my preliminary task, I took a mid shot and did some simple editing and it is quite apparent that I was not really good at it!
I did not know how to use the quick selection tool and as weird as it may sound, I actually used the eraser tool to remove the background! It does not look neat, since the edges of the main image look quite rough and out of place, not meshed well with the background. I did not retouch the main image, i.e., the colors have not been enhanced. But gradually, I mastered the art of using various tools to get the best results as is apparent from my final product (At least that's what I think. Haha!) :
I experimented with the smudge and blur tools to create new and unique font styles that meshed well with the whole theme. Also, re-sizing and adjusting different layers into one single layer is something that I learnt over the process of constructing my final product.
Moreover, I learnt how adjust the settings of a digital camera to get the best image quality under different settings. For instance, the ISO settings need to be adjusted when capturing an image in low light. This is the camera that I used to make my product:

For my preliminary task, I used my friend's cell phone and took her mid shot. This is the cell phone that I used:
Not to forget, I learnt a great deal about different camera angles and camera shots, including mid shot, long and wide shots, over-the-shoulder shot, aerial shot, close-up, medium and extreme close-ups and many many more.
Most importantly, I learnt how to save files in the appropriate formats! And of course, I did all this using my precious Lenovo R61i.
That's about it!
