Photoshop Challenge


eComm Photoshop Challenge



This week in eComm, we were assigned a project to use the photoshop skills we learned with the tutorials. We were given a set of pictures to use, but we also had the option to do our own thing with it. I chose to use some cityscape pictures rather than the nature ones they provided. This is the final outcome. I am very happy with how it turned out.

I started making a layer mask with a picture for the jacket, so the jacket would be a cityscape rather than just brown.  I didn't use full opacity, so that you could still see the creases and folds. This simply made it look more real, and blend into the original picture. At the end I also ended up turning it slightly blue so that it would match the tone of the rest of the picture.

I also made another layer mask on the white shirt, and added a grey color, because the shirt was very yellow and didn't match the cool blue theme.

Then, I did the hair. I made a layer mask of the basic shape of the hair and put a different cityscape picture on it. I turned down the opacity on this as well, for the same reason as the jacket, and to make sure it still looked like hair. I proceeded to use the clone stamp tool to take away the extra blue around the edges, and make the singular hairs look more crisp against the background.

I finished it off with using the brush tool and a blue shade with low opacity to make his facial hair blue. I went over his eyelashes, eyebrows, mustaches and beard. I also used this to touch up his sideburns, and the hair on his neck.

That is how I completed this photoshop assignment. Next time I am going to try to make something a little more complicated that will challenge me more. Besides that, I think it was very fun and looks great!

Senior Reflection

5 Guarantees  Technical Skills In e-Comm I have learned many technical skills of filmmaking. The program has taught me how to use a camera and other equipment, and how to use editing software. This is extremely beneficial for me, as I am going to study these areas in college. I have a solid understanding of these skills before going to college which will help me a lot. I faced a few struggles along the way, but that is simply part of learning. You can't learn without making mistakes.  Communication In e-Comm I learned how big of a role communications has in life. Being apart of a team requires communication from each person for the maximum outcome. When I was apart of projects with a group that had bad communication, the final product was never as good. It will continue to be one of the most important skills to have throughout the rest of my life. Collaboration In e-Comm I have learned collaboration skills I wouldn't have been able to get anywhere else. I learned about the spe...

10 Words

My 10 Words Project In this project, I wanted to show the 10 words that describe me best. Here are some that mean the most to me. I chose the word dancer because dance is a major part of my life. I do not go a single day without dancing at least a little bit. If I'm not at school, or doing school work, I am most likely dancing. It is a huge part of me and will continue to be.  I chose the word sarcastic because I am being sarcastic 50% of the time I'm speaking. If I am talking to someone I don't know, I try to hold back the sarcasm until i get to now them better. I am a very sarcastic person, and probably will also continue to be.  I chose the word forgiving because I am just a very forgiving person. No matter how bad something you do is, I will still very likely forgive you. I have in the past forgiven people so many times as to where it gets to the point that they will just take advantage of me. Sometimes I'm too forgiving. Lastly, I chose the...

My Logo

Image
My Logo Process Attached are all the art boards from my logo design project. The process of creating my own logo was a long one. I started out by sketching my ideas. I tried many different shapes and styles. Once I decided on my top 3 to bring to life, I went to Adobe Illustrator. I started with black and white, just to see if the shapes would compliment each other, or be appealing. I tried my simplest circle idea, and it went well. When I tried to do the more advanced ones with odd shapes, I didn't have enough Ai experience or knowledge to make one well. I tried to do them implying the rose, and using circles, but I did not like how it looked. Then, when I decided to just stick with the simplest option, it was time to add color. I began with trying analogous colors for contrast between the circle and the letters. I decided I liked the tone and simplicity of the blues. While playing with color, I wondered what it would look like with a stroke. So, I tried the dif...
