Michael S. Pascua The Life of a Freelancer

Figuring out Photoshop

I use the banners above as a quick and dirty way of practicing my (lack of) Photoshop skills. As I mentioned previously, my weeks get busy so I don't have time to just dedicate to photoshop and realized that it's just easier to practice my layers with Photoshop. I don't get to do a lot of color adjustment and my personal judgment is still rickety.


My biggest problem is the fact that I love high contrast photos. I dunno where that love came from, I just think that strong definition in pictures. It's odd because I love art nouveau, but I associate art nouveau with pastels that blend into each other. Maybe I should think more of Tiffany lamps that have strong black lines and realize that it may just fit my aesthetic better than I realized. Oh well, there goes my defense.


I still don't know what I would do without Photoshop. The program is amazing, and I still don't know if I could convert to another program. Possibly if the price was low, Adobe is reallllllly costly.
