Favorite Photographer Collage

Typography

In this assignment, we had to create a picture using words. I went a different route, and made a heart out of words, instead of letters. One of my more difficult pieces, it took a long time to make, but it came out beautiful.

However, i couldnt decide on which color to choose, so i did both.

Visual Puns

Butterfly.

 Watchdog,

Fireman.

This assignment required us to play with words as well as photographs. We had to create 3 visual puns.

Jumping off the page

In the Jumping off the page assignment we had to make an image pop out of the background. We did this by duplicating the layer of the object, and morphing it into a shadow.

Macro images

The macro function to the camera is helpful when taking pictures of objects up close. It helps take a clear picture of a certain object and is able to blur out any distractions in the background. After we took the pictures, we used the macro tool to sharpen the images a bit more.

Downtown Mall Picture Hunt

2 differences-  On this trip to the Downtown Mall, we had to take various images. One of the assignments after the field trip was to make two of the same images, with 5 differences in them.

Another part of our assignment was to edit 5 of our favorite pictures using camera raw-

The last part of our assignment was to upload our two favorite pictures, one from the Paramount, and one from the Jefferson.

Pop Art

In this assigment we had to create, paint, and design over pictures of ourselves.

Change My Look

In this assignemnt, we had to use different tools to change eye and hair color.

Kaleidoscope

This assignment was a little big tricky. We had to take pictures, and flip them, crop them and rotate them into a Kaleidoscope. The last one is one of a picture i drew myself on photoshop.

Celebrity Change-up

This assignment required us to change a celebrity's eye and hair color. I chose to change Angelina Jolie's hair color to red, and her eye color from blue to green.

Montage

In this assignment, we had to duplicate a postcard . We were given the finished product and the pieces, but we had to apply the effects and layers in order ourselves. I think mine came out pretty good :)

Layer Masks

This assignment required us to use layer masks. We had to put together different landscapes to make one collage.

Landscapes/ Magic Wand

In this assignment we had to combine different techniques to create our own unique designs. Some of the tools we used were the Magic Wand Tool, the Layers Palette, and the Free transform Tool .

Layer Adjustments

This assignment required us to take 15 pictures, and edit them using various adjustment tools. Here are my results.



Crazy Combos

Our third assignment, Crazy Combos required more skill than the last two. We had to take animals/people/ and combine them to make one crazy animal/person hybrid. I chose to recreate a mermaid. We had to have at least 8 layers. Some new tools we used were the eraser brush to blur and create a more smooth transition between body parts, and refine edge.

All About Me

Our second assignment, All About Me, is the most interesting one I've worked on so far. We had to find 10 different things we were interested in, and put them together in a composition. This project required learning new tools, the main ones being the Quick want, and quick selection. These help you select parts of pictures by colors or with a brush. Other tools we used include The Marquee tool, the lasso tool, and the text tool.

Peppers

Peppers was our first real assignment. We had to move different peppers into a cutting board. Our main tools were "refine edge" and copying and pasting different layers.
