This document discusses basic graphic design principles including lines, patterns, textures, and using tools in Photoshop. It covers how lines can organize, connect, separate, create movement, and provide emphasis. Patterns repeat in a design in an interesting way. Textures can be added visually, through paper or printing type. Photoshop tools allow editing images through cropping, adding shapes, lines, patterns and textures using tools like the marquee, lasso and filters. Students are assigned to select a photo, crop and modify it using filters, then upload and describe their edited image.
