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 :)

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.
