Photoshop: Introduction to Shapes & Selections

Purpose:

To become familiar with Photoshop Shape and Selection Tools through experimentation and the creation of designs

To continue to communicate a message through the use of positive and negative shapes

Review the videos below as needed.

Use what you know about manipulating non-objective shapes and space to create four compositions that describe the following emotions:

1. Scary

2. Isolated

3. Busy

4. Free

You must have a good balance of black/white, positive/negative space. Remember to think about the concept of the "Notan".

• You need at least 8 shapes per design.
