Photoshop HW1

    The most important thing to use in photoshop is using layers. It's important when you have multiple photos your adding on to each other to create an image. Another important thing is the clone tool, it allows you to copy a reference point and draws the exact pixels same pixels in a place of your choosing. It will help get rid of any imperfections in your work. I think the most difficult thing will be knowing when to adjust contours and saturation. I feel like having the eye to adjust those comes with practice and experience to know what looks good.

    Masks can only be painted with black or white. Masks are using to basically punch a whole through the layer being masked. It removes what's seen in that specific layer. This is true for any layer you paint on. You can invert your masks from black to white and white to black using command+i. Something difficult I learned from this video is using blend modes. It cause effect a look and feel of an image. It can be used for darkening, whitening, saturation, contrast, etc.

    Something I learned from this video was using shortcuts. Control+j duplicates layers, while having multiple layers selected control+h merges layers together, control+g makes a group, and control+e merges all the layers within that group. If you hit control and click on the image adjustment you can skew the pictures and change the perspective and angle of it. Hitting control+alt while adjust the picture on two axis. Something that will be difficult in photoshop will copying layer styles and pasting them onto other layers. Also, it will be hard to remember that hitting the eye next to the layer will hide the visual affects you have added to that layer.

Autoscopy

Image
      The autoscopy project turned out being a lot of fun to create. I like how we had to incorporate more than just two pictures into our work. I've recently watched a few shows that had to do with exploration and space so I took a lot of inspiration from those and wanted create something within that realm.     I chose a few images that would help me accomplish my goal. The background is a picture of a road within a forest used to show earth. I then replaced the sunny sky with a picture of the stars to show where I was heading to. After that I placed added a picture of myself. I stood in that position to try and emulate what a spaceship looks like. After, I used a picture of a rocket taking off to show the trusters at full power, blasting me into space. Lastly, I added a picture of code on a low opacity because going into space takes a lot of coding and calculations.  Overall, this project tested my abilities but I'm happy the way it turned out.  Original Pictures:

Somewhere

Image
       Step Brothers is one of my all time favorite movies and debut of Prestige Worldwide has to be one of the funniest movie clips of all time. From boats n hoes to crashing their dads sailboat it’s a classic.   Using Adobe Illustrator I put myself in between Dale and Brennan in their performance of boats n hoes. It was a little tricky to color match the image of myself with the slightly blurry image of the scene that I could find off the internet.  I started by layering myself into the picture with my original image. I then added different hues and saturations to match myself to the colors of the scene. The hardest part of this project for me was having my pants cut off where the table is. I don't know why it was so difficult for me but I eventually figured it out. This was by far my favorite project we did because of the freedom we were given to pick any movie or show we wanted. Overall, I think this was the best project I created in class. Original Clip and Photo of Me:

Business Cards

Image
    These are the three business cards I came up with. I had a really difficult time creating these because of placing the tag brush. I used simple colors because I did not want to take away or distract from my contact information places on the cards. I wanted to keep the business cards pretty basic because most of the cards I have gotten in the real world were pretty basic so I decided to stick with that methodology. On the cards I added my tag brush, name, number, email, and blog website.
