Photoshop Checklist
Photoshop Checklist
The purpose of this log is for you to record what tools and features you used in the creation of your digital graphics. You should try to use as many
as possible and you must record how, why and when you used them. You do not need to record repeated actions but each single new action
should be recorded. An example of this would be setting up a new Photoshop file/image which would cover the ranges; Image Settings (all) and
part of Menus (some of). You only need to do this once. Remember that where the e.g. appears in a range, as many of the items should be
covered as possible but not all of them; your tutor will guide you here. Where possible you should also provide a screen dump to illustrate the
action (see sample image below).

this tool.
I put text in my left navigation bar,
my top navigation bar, the logo, and
the website title. To do this I clicked a
tool on the left which says T, and I
then drew a text box so I got the text
exactly where I wanted it, and then
typed the text in.
I drew lines to separate the
categories in my navigation bars, and
I did that by using the line tool on the
left hand side.
I didnt use the stroke tool when
creating my assets.
I didnt use the shape tool when
creating my assets.
When I was editing my navigation
bars, I had to zoom out so I could see
the whole navigation bar. I used the
minus and plus key on the keyboard
to zoom in and out.
I didnt use the guides and rulers tool
whilst creating my assets.
I didnt use the grid tool when
creating my assets.
I didnt use the snap tool when
creating my assets.
I did use paletts whilst creating my
assets, and I did use the history tool
which is located at the top of the
page, and I edited the size of the
assets by using the transform tool
