Using Photos to Make Art, Illustration and Design
Photo Manipulation (or Photobashing) is an art form which enables us to take existing photos or images and collage them together to make beautiful new imagery. Today this practice is regularly used to make professional art, illustration and design.
This course will walk you through the best practices for creating realistic and eye catching images using the free and open source software GIMP. The course's focus is not to teach you the software, but to give you the best artistic practices to making more realistic and beautiful images through Photo Manipulation. Better usage of GIMP can also be learned along the way, and you can follow along with your preferred software.
We will cover how to use your eye to select the best images, manipulated images to work together in the scene better, and overall composition practices. We will also cover lighting and shading techniques, adding depth to the scene, drawing onto the image, and many tips and tricks along the way to improve the overall balance and beauty of your art.
The course is broken down into short and easy to follow demonstration lessons with entertaining and informational dialogue. The instructor will be available to answer any questions you have, and as time allows there will be addition supplementary announcements regarding the topic of Photo Manipulation.

SIM. ATĂ O MOMENTO ESTĂ MUITO INTERESSANTE E O PROFESSOR Ă BEM DIDĂTICO
Brendon presented the material in an easy you understand format. The techniques can be used in enhancing a single photo or used in creating new images by combining multiple photos. A course that is well worth taking and investing your time in if you care to become creative. Have fun and enjoy yourself.
Good investment on learning a free tool powered by a paid teacher. Classes recommended!
Super course just what I needed to learn how to do things. I learnt lots, and some methods for solving some problems in blending a variety of photos and integrating drawings into one image. I use photoshop and inkscape so I should be able to do everything that is shown in the videos. The tutor is clearly knowlegable and very accessable to students. It was great to see what he was doing showing the how ; and listen to his advice on successful integration for other types of media .Very easy to follow nothing was rushed . Thankyou Brenden
