Exhibit 7

Challenge: Use the skills from the last 10 weeks to create your design of choice

Background

This week we learned how to implement shapes into our designs in Photoshop. I decided to use this to display a variety of different stone and marble textures into several oval shapes masked on top of another dark stone background.

Design

  • I chose to use a dark stone background so the other textures would pop more

  • I made sure that the oval frames were equidistant from one another to create visual balance

  • I duplicated the frame layers so that each frame was of equal size

  • I chose stone textures that had visual variety so that no one frame looked too similar to another
