Postcards from the Edge

As a first assignment, to demonstrate the pupils' ability to use Photoshop CS4 and the Apple Mac, the pupils have created a range of Postcards relating to Salford.

Pupils were given individual themes and had to research them, taking photographs and then utilising Photoshop to design a postcard for a particular audience.







Jonathan Taylor's postcard depicting 'Sport IN Salford'










The postcard above explores the bridges IN Salford








Mateuz Stanaszek had the most difficult assignment, portraying Salford's historical development.

This postcard shows an excellent application of Photoshop and is a result of hours of dedicated research at home.
















Jade Challender had to depict 'Eating out IN Salford' and completed the postcard seen above.
WOW!



















The postcards above were an attempt to expose the 'Waterways' of Salford



















Dominic O Brien's semi-abstract creation which explores buildings in Salford.




Jake Rajput's postcard depicting Salford Quays

  11. Excellent first exercise guys. Keep up the good work!
    Sad to say Jake has been reading his dad's joke books again! The quay to a new life! A classic!
    As for Laura, not only is she IN Salford she writes Salfordese 'perticually' well. She might 'gradgerly' improve!
    Seriously, a great start to your course. Well done! I look forward to seeing the edited drama classes improvisations.

  13. All the work up here is amazing!
    It's hard to believe this is a first time for some of us using Photoshop.
    I can't wait to work on all the other projects! :)
