We started by editing some photos on Photoshop, changing the colour of someone's eyes or lips and cutting a figure out from one image and placing it into another image. After we became familiar with the basics of Photoshop we were split up into pairs to produce a B-Movie poster for a fictional film plot given to us. The film given to me and my pair was "Professor Spinebender's Land of the Hybrid Hunters", where the plot was a mad scientist turning people into human/animal hybrids.
My role in the pair was to create the human/animal hybrids, while the layout of the poster was left to my partner. This is what we created:

I'm happy with how this poster turned out, especially considering we had only just been introduced to Photoshop. We intentionally chose very bright colours to try and replicate the feel of the old B-movie posters we had as examples.
The next task was to create a mixed media image for a website that represents us as artists. I used images I'd previously created - paintings, drawings and photographs - to build up a collage-like composition on Photoshop. I used the scanner to add a drawing I drew specifically for the image of a small figure holding a sketchbook with pages flying out. I also drew my name on paper and then scanned it in.

I like this image. I think that the chaotic, collage-like quality to it was necessary to incorporate all my own work which had a variety of different styles, being from both A Level work and my own doodles.
