Our Games Design second year students were set a brief to design a set of nine cards that would emulate the 'House of Cards' deck but would now depict the city of Preston where their campus is located.
They would also mix and combine these images with other more abstract concepts using blend layers in Adobe Photoshop to create a multi-layered image that becomes abstract or surreal in nature and captures their emotions and fantasies about the spirit of the place.
This also helped students to learn more about the use of layers in Adobe Photoshop and to develop their aesthetic visual skills. A good eye for presentation and layout is very important, especially when preparing a digital portfolio of work.
