Selection

For my still life photo shop project I chose the photo of the plates and lemons. I used command + to zoom all the way to each individual piece. I then used the lasso tool and mouse to click and draw around each object, using shift and option to add or take away from my selection. I then clicked layers and under

the adjustment layer tab so I was able to adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness. I was able to turn the white plates to bright pink and bright blue. As well as change the yellow lemons to a bright green. My favorite change was the blue bottle to a purple chrome.

Vector Masking

For this image, I copied and pasted the files from the assignment. I then

used the pen tool to create multiple sharp corner

anchor points as well as smooth anchor points to outline the car. I then went in and outlined the windows. After, I went to the paths window and double clicked the layer mask to get a transparent background. I then uploaded a different background and added it as a layer. I chose this background to look more realistic. I used the eraser tool to clean up some edges. This was my final product.

This was my finished product compared to the original!

Before & After

For this edit I opened up my file and started by editing the lighting and color. Then I started with the lasso selection tool to select an outline of the hair. After this I clicked select & mask to get the red contrast. During this step I took the refine tool to touch up what I had selected. I then clicked okay and then adjusted the hue and saturation.

Hair selection

I then meshed the two layers together to start editing the background. I then selected select & mask and then erased my subject. I then had a transparent background that I was able to take a background photo and paste it into my background. I used the select tool to move it and adjust the positioning. Then I had my final product!

Before & After

For this project, I dowloaded this photo and then had to trace it with the lasso tool to get a cut out of the donut. I traced the circular figure as well as each sprinkle hanging off the edge and the middle cut out. I then made it a layer mask. I changed the backround to a solid purple and then used the white color tool with soft settings to erase part of the donut.

For this project I searched up different textures on google and the right clicked to copy image. Then I switched to photoshop and command + V to paste. I then covered the part of my sculpture that I wanted to cover and clicked Free transform in the Edit Window. I then right clicked to click warp and morphed the image to fit the part I wanted it to. At this point I hide the image using the eye icon. I then used the pen tool to select the part I wanted as a vector mask and created a vector mask. After I pressed the see image again to see the image back. I then used the select and mask tools to edit the color, saturation, opacity, and more. I repeated this step multiple times with many different layers to create the final product. I then added a background as a stage to complete the dancer look.

Brick Wall

For this image I used the clone stamp tool. I pressed the option key to select an area and then paint with the selected area. I did this carefully aligning the bricks to each other and constantly picking random areas to diversify my brick pattern. I made there were no uneven lines and kept going back to retouch. Once I felt finished I added the graffiti from the video. For the graffiti I downloaded the specific font and wrote my name with it, curved it, added shadow, added a gradient, and then dragged it over to my brick wall. I then blended it with adjusting the amount of light to make it blend better.

I used the eclipse tool to create cirlce and layer them on top of eachother to match the example given to me. I then used the shape builder tool to combine them. I was able to combine and delete the center. I then went it and played with adding ombre color. I also played with two different backgrounds, grey and white.

For this project I started off by drawing a sketch of a character I wanted to create. After I finalized my sketch I took a photo and uploaded it to illustrator. I then took the pen tool and traced each shape individually. I then after went in to change each color of each shape to match the character. For this one I used a lot of yellow, blue, and orange. It was pretty easy to match the colors. I then typed Tweetie and chose a font. I then used the color changer to make a collage of all different colored tweeties.

Tracing

Building a Logo

For this project, I started off by sketching my design. I then uploaded my sketch and started tracing with the pen tools. I made many various shapes and changed each color to create shadowing and other effects. I traced both coffee cups in very close detail. I then tilted them to cheers.

I then uploaded fonts and played around with placing my text. I then selected my logos and changed the color scheme to have three different versions. Overall, I had lot of fun with this project and enjoyed it.

For this assignment, I drew out an outline of a sketch. Then I started with the logo and used vector graphics to trace the fork with spaghetti. I then chose the font I wanted from DaFont.com and created my business title. I then created multiple circle shapes with the eclipse tool and then I copied and pasted images of different toppings, and used the properties window to create a clipping mask. I then arranged everything with how I wanted it formatted. I then moved everything for all of the other mutations. I am happy with the final products!

For this project, I started off with a sketch, taking ideas from my favorite posters. I wanted to do something abstract so I chose to use silhouettes and draw my main building which I used Illustrator for. I Then turned my image of the building into a Vector trace. I put everything how I wanted it to be formatted and added my Title and special mentions. Overall I am happy with how it turned out.

WORKING IN INDESIGN

For this project, I chose to represent one of my favorite brands, Brand Pierre. I started by created the front page and tracing his logo in Illustrator. Then I added all my text and information about his brand. I then added product pictures. I added colored text background to add some contrast. I also made sure to put his website and socials on the trifold. I then created a mockup to display the final product.

T r i f o l d

For this project I started by designing the dummy and planning my layout. I chose to do kind of like a scrapbook type of theme for my sorority. I started by designing the parent pages. I added our hand symbol as a logo to the corner of the header and the page number as a footer. I also added the name of my sorority and a cute rush phrase.

Next, I finished outlining every page. I first placed the text boxes and photo boxes to have an idea of what each page would look like. I then added each image and all the text filler. I then made paragraph and object styles. Then I went to make changes to adjust it to my liking. I then added two advertisements, my movie poster and one new one for a pearl jewelry brand. For my cover photo I used photoshop to outline the people and I used Indesign to make my title sticker. I then added each element to my cover page to create a collage. Overall I am happy with my final product.
