After working on my personal brand, the next module was more practical and visual: Photoshop.
Although I had already used it on occasion, this block has helped me consolidate the basics and familiarize myself with new tools and functions that I was not familiar with.

During the classes, we explored different aspects of design: how to work with layers, masks, selection tools, text, image adjustments, and composition. All from a general perspective, without focusing on a specific use, but with room to experiment and create your own pieces.

Here I share two of the designs I created during the module, each with its own focus and meaning:

Helen’s Beer – Lisboa Edition

This design is a mockup simulated, as if it were the launch of my own beer: Helen’s Beer.
I used a personal image in which I appear with a Super Bock, a typical beer from Portugal, and I integrated it with a base of Lisbon, the city where I lived for a while. The idea was to combine personal and visual elements to explore a more commercial approach and play with brand building through graphic design.

Photoshop is a very comprehensive tool, with tons of options. I learned a lot in this module, especially on the technical side, and it helped me better understand how to work with images, compose, and apply the basics in a more organized way.
I still have a lot to learn, but I already have a foundation on which I can continue to practice and improve over time.
