photoshop Camera raw + select and mask Objective: For this assignment, I changed the hair color on the people I photographed the background for some.

Operation for hair: I started by using the object selection tool to select the hair. I then went into the selection and mask window to refine my mask by adding in more hair or refining the edges around the hair using the refine edge tool.

Operation for background: To change the backgrounds, I copied the mask and filled in the areas I still wanted to be a part of it such as the face and shoulders. Afterwards, I copied and pasted a background I wanted.

photoshop Sculpture texture

Objective For this assignment, I added various textures to the sculpture of my choosing.

Operation: I looked up an image of a texture of my choosing and copied and pasted it into photoshop. Afterwards, I would go over a specific area and I would make a mask of it with the polygonal lasso tool. I would unlink the mask and the image so I could work with it better. I warped it to make it look more realistic and then blended it in the layers window with multiply or overlay. Lastly, I added an adjustment layer and changed the hue and saturation.

Illustrator

Logo design Description For this assignment, I was tasked with making my own logo.

Operation: I began by sketching out a logo design. I uploaded the image to Illustrator and made it a template layer. I made another layer to outline the words and small designs. Once I finished that, I added a fill color and decided to do a gradient. I wanted the gradient for my main one on the words to go from green to blue. For the drinks, I made the gradient go from purple to pink. Then, I added a stroke effect.

I also added texts such as a slogan, flavors, hours of operation, address, and a phone number. Finally, using the “alt” button, I copied and pasted the elements I wanted for each individual ad.
