Year 11 student Tolu Sorunmu tells us about her AIT project.
“I came up with the idea after looking at abstract collage art and posters for various food and music festivals. The eclectic format really inspired the idea I followed through with for my poster. My design ideas went through many stages and it was becoming increasingly difficult to tell what worked and what didn’t. I overcame this by trusting my instincts and gathering feedback from others. One technical skill I learnt that I previously overlooked was layer organisation in Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop is a very powerful piece of software but it can become complicated to use when many different layers are introduced. To collect the collage and to simplify the design process, I utilised groups to keep my workspace in order. The best part was seeing the finished project and sharing my work with my peers. To me, seeing others react to my work is very rewarding because I find the social aspect of design fascinating and I love to get feedback on my designs.”
Technology has no doubt changed our lives… Happy Technology Day!
