FAF Poster Design

Fine Arts Festival 2011;
I designed the layout for a poster for the Fine Arts Festival that's going on. I did a basic one that had the major things in big and matched it with the color of the drawing on the left and in smaller print, and around the drawing, I gave credit to the artists.

Reflections

Mirror Reflection

:)

Portrait Photographyy:)

Custom Shape

Created by selecting the shadows in the Color Range, making a work path from the selection, converting it to a solid fill and removing the background.

Ink Sketch
Dont by changing the blending mode, adding a photocopy & sharpen more filter, and adjusting the hue/saturation.

Cross Processing

Last two are cross processing and to do this I added a curves adjusmtment layer and changed some of the settings on that and then added a solid color, yellow, to give it the overall tone.

David Hockney syle!

David Hockney's style is basically getting a whole bunch of pictures of one thing and compiling them together to make a bigger picture. We did this digitally with a picture of my cute and adorable little dog :)

Find the differences!

Everyone went downtown while I stayed in English, so they were doing a scavenger hunt. So I had to use my own personal images. And the project was doing sort of "Where's waldo" thing, but it's just with differences... Have fun!

Some hands.

The effects used were to make the image warm, cool & emerald (with a gradient background). It gives the image a more difference effect and lets it stand out more.

Photo Aging

When making a modern picture look vintage, you shouldn't pick a picture that has something modern (i.e. computer, ipod, technology) that is obviusly not old. The brush that I used for this was a coffee stain brush.

Collage

I replicated the work of Robert Mars. He basically made his collages have a vintage touch and the backround seemed like a lot of pieces of papers.

--Glowing Lights 2--

Photoshop:)

Pen tool, star brush tool (changed brush options), text to tool, outer glow, scattering, quick selection, and free transform.

-Glowing Lights-

Main tool used during this project was the pen tool. I made a figure 8 and duplicated the layer numerous amounts of time. Other tools I used afterward were brush tool, free transform, marquee tool, the twirl filter, gaussian blur, and gradient tool.

Typography

Yes, I know this isn't the best work I've done, but it's what I came up with at the moment.

Typography is using text and arranging it properly to make a design. I made a star and just used the letters of my name to make my name.

Picture Sharpening!!

Sharpening of my pictures :)
While taking these pictures, my camera was on Macro, to take close-up pictures

Tools used were layers, change of blending mode to overlay, and the High Pass filter.

Camera RAW is a Photoshop plug-in that is easy to use. It helps fix pictures in a quick and nondestructive way.

Macro Photography is taking pictures up close that you are able to see a lot of detail and texture.

Spooky Picture

"Glowing Monster Eyes At Night"
It actually was kind of hard to follow the tutorial for this one, but that was mostly because when you click on the link for the tutorial, it shows you a tutorial for a totally different thing. So I had to basically make it my own.

Tools Review

photoshop:)
Tools Used:
Quick Selection: Selects quickly and in big amounts (kind of, can't explain)
Magnetic Lasso: Used it to magnetically select similar pixels
Refine Edge: Allows it to blend in more
Layer Mask: hides parts of the picture
Quick Mask: Quick selects by applying a mask

Midterm Exam =/

For our midterm exam we needed to take two guys out of one picture, place them onto this one "realistically", add a fire hydrant, and remove evidence of a date that was printed on the picture.

(Final Product!)
