Digital image manipulation - Introduction

Over the next six weeks I will be continuing the second part of my photo manipulation assignment. For this part I will be asked to research the history of photo manipulation, Photoshop workshops, research a few artists of my choice, experiment with different methods and produce a final image. I am also asked to evaluate my work and to identify any strengths and weaknesses and work out what to improve on, evaluate a few examples of other people's work and prepare and digitise source materials. Finally I will present my work with my own design outcome, demonstrating an opinion of the use of image manipulation techniques, against a given theme or assignment brief.
