Photoshop Tutorials

-

 For this assignment I am going to be reviewing three Photoshop tutorials that I watched.


This tutorial was all about changing the color of anything in PhotoShop. It requires a hue saturation adjustment layer which allows for the easy color change. By using the 'master' drop down it will change all the colors in the image. If you want to change a specific color in the image use the eyedropper tool to select the color on the image then by sliding on the hue bar you are then able to change to the desired color for that part of the image. I think that this tool will be very useful when I am creating my projects. I think a big part of PhotoShop is altering images to make them different from how they started and changing colors is a big aspect of that. 


This tutorial focused on cropping, resizing and adding more space. The crop tool can be found on the tool bar or accessed by hitting 'c' on the keyboard. At the top of the screen you can find the ratio button with drop down options to select pre-made ratios or create your own, you can find 'square' here. When using the crop tool make sure 'delete cropped pixels' is never selected because if it is and you accidentally crop something then you won't be able to get the image back. This tool will be especially helpful if there are unwanted things in a picture around the edges that I want to get rid of. 


This tutorial is all about removing distractions in photos. The first step in removing distractions is creating a new layer and then grabbing the 'spot healing brush tool' making sure the settings are normal, content-aware and sample all layers. By using the brush you simply paint over the part you want gone and it removes it by using the rest of the image to figure out what it should be filling in that place. This tool will come in handy when an image is ruined by something in the background.

 For the upcoming Somewhere assignment we were instructed to view a couple things for inspiration.  After viewing https://www.instagram.com/kirbyjenner/?hl=en I was asked to chose one image that would be hard to photoshop myself into. This is the image I chose: I believe that this photo would be hard to photoshop myself into because it is so intricate. If you look at the placement of Kirby in this picture he is in between two others, holding items and being leaned on my Kendall Jenner. With so much going on around him and being so involved in the photograph that would be a challenge to put myself into.  After viewing https://www.instagram.com/averagerob/ I was asked to find an image that inspired me or gave me an idea for the somewhere project. This is the image I chose: By Rob inputting himself into an image from the Simpsons gave me the idea to put myself into a TV show that I like. Taking a still image and inputting yourself into the scene of a show is a cool way to show you like it

FINAL PORTFOLIO

 HERE IS MY FINAL. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS COMPILATION OF ALL MY PROJECTS FROM THIS SEMESTER. This gave me the creativity to express myself in a way to showcase my work. I chose a light yellow background for the booklet keeping the consistent throughout, because this is my favorite color. I chose the pink and blue as accent colors because I feel as though they accent each other well. I added the colored swirls to each page to have a decorative piece and did the colored stroke outlining the text opposite color the swirls. I also tried alternating the sides the pictures where on each page to switch it up and not have each page looking exactly the same. I am happy with how this turned out and glad to have taken this class. This has brought out my creative side and I am grateful for that.

Tag Brush

 For this assignment we had to take our black and white logo we created, turn it into a tag brush, and then create an image out of the brush. Here is my black and white logo. Here is my tag brush. Here is the image I created using my tag brush. For the image I created using my tag brush I went off of my actual logo. My image using the green color with my tag I tried to create mountains like that were in my logo. The mountains in this image have the white caps like my logo that's why they aren't pointy. Then there are the blue tags which represent the clouds. Lastly the singular yellow tag is the sun. I think that the image I have created could have been better however I think it was a good use if my tag and has meaning connecting it to my logo. I did not like this assignment however because it was not very interesting.
