			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight&#8217;s lecture was on using Adobe Bridge as a Digital Asset Management tool, and one exercise was on the use of shadow and lighting.</p>
<p>I was to transform this room into anything I wanted:</p>
<div id="attachment_155" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.nikkichau.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/apartmentbefore.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-155 " title="apartment before" src="http://www.nikkichau.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/apartmentbefore-300x225.jpg" alt="Just another empty apartment room." width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Just another empty apartment room.</p></div>
<p>I thought, hey, why not my own Yoga space? And so, making it into my dream yoga room, I did.</p>
<div id="attachment_156" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.nikkichau.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/yoga-room.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-156 " title="yoga-room" src="http://www.nikkichau.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/yoga-room-300x225.jpg" alt="My dream space" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">My dream space</p></div>
<p>I used the view of the Olympic mountains and the Puget Sound as inspiration. Actually, the wallpaper might be a little too &#8220;girly&#8221; for my taste, but it looked really cool when I &#8220;put it on&#8221;. The teardrop lamps are sorta novel, so I experimented with that.</p>
<p>Tricks used:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lots of Layering and Filtering</li>
<li>Clipping Masks</li>
<li>Drop Shadow</li>
<li>Vanishing Point Filter</li>
<li>Transforming</li>
</ul>
<p>I thought the timing of this exercise was impeccable, because over at my Yoga Blog, I just wrote about something along the same line of <a href="http://www.nikkiyoga.com/feel-all-emotions/">working with lighting and shadows</a>. Sometimes, &#8220;she moves in mysterious ways&#8221;&#8230;</p>
