REFLECTIONS
Experience
In the photography class, I learned something new in every task. Firstly in physical collage which is our first task, I experienced making collage in magazine elements. I ever making collage in the past but using printed elements, not magazine.  After the physical task, We were moving in adobe photoshop. I only had limited experience in photoshop which is only for removing background purpose. From the digital collage until recoloring task, I gain more knowledge from it. 
In Week 3, I learned about pen tools, drag and drop meanwhile in week 4 is adjustment and filters if you want to change the colour or effect of your photos. For the shazam task, I was introduced in "Quick Selection tool". It is the most effective ways to removing background more quickly and continued in recoloring task, The tools could select an object to be colored. 

Observation
Observing the pinterest is the most thing I do whenever i did this project. Pinterest is a good app to find references and idea. Other than pinterest, Youtube and Google is the best solution for tutorials. Lastly, Mr Fauzi also had account on instagram (@kolajthing). There's a website to find out previous student collage to gain more unique ideas.
 
Findings
When I did this task, I found that learned only by the lectures tutorials is not enough. Photoshop is the good apps where there are many tools with various functions. Let's say that if you don't understand the tutorials by the lectures. In youtube, there's another way shortcut to make it more easier than from the tutorials. 
Moreover, I found that next time, I should record and screenshot every progress of work.
