I decided to do a dog fight for this project. I used the perspective tool under the transform sub menu to make the blue plane look like it was coming from behind on the original yellow plane. A simple hue/sat adjustment layer was used to change the color of the plane. I then dogdes it, probably too evenly, because only the bottom of the plane is facing the sun. the smoke was made by by blurring some black paint.mylanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03075284940110578535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773299831749837098.post-15571840864173182852014-04-16T12:25:00.001-07:002014-04-16T12:25:38.231-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I didn't quite finish this project. I got through the first video and the touched on the second one a little bit. Towards the beginning I had some trouble with "moving" the room. When painting the floor towards the beginning of the second video I am pretty sure that I painted the wrong floor back in. Also my brush somehow got changed to a setting where it doesn't affect the opacity of pixels and instead just deletes them entirely. Unfortunately I was so focused on just trying to follow the video that I didn't quite catch these things in time. I do feel though that I did an ok job in adjusting the colors. <br />mylanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03075284940110578535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773299831749837098.post-73313282300171498132014-04-01T12:27:00.000-07:002014-04-01T12:27:01.050-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This stone portrait project was extremely straight forward because all you had to do was follow the steps in the tutorial. There were some creative elements however when making the shadows and lighting effects. Since that couldn't be copied verbatim from the tutorial, I did have to use my own judgment to decide what looked best. For the most part though, all I had to do was exactly what the guy told me.<br />

Alright Mr. Cole, I'll be the first to admit that this isn't some of my best work. When it comes to creating images from scratch I just don't know what to do. The live paint bucket was giving me problems with filling in the jeans, it was probably because of how I combined the images earlier on. What I ended up doing was just creating a new pair of jeans to cover up the ones beneath it. The hair I tried to make cartoon wacky, but just nothing I did looked right. I do however have a little divot on the forehead. I wish that I gave the image some more depth, but I just didn't know how to go about doing it. The hands are also a little wacky and unsymmetrical, but in true cartoon fashion each hand only has four fingers. Just think of the finished product as an alien cartoon version of myself made for a cheap web series. In that respect, I don't think it's that bad.</div>

My ad turned out to be a lot less polished than I would have liked it to be. I ended up getting rid of my guy and then adjusting the label so that the spacing wasn't awkward. My pinterest logo has a white outline, but at this point I just wanted to turn it in. I would say that my ad is mediocre at best, but I am proud of my label. I feel that although it is not very complex, it looks nice. A big flaw in my approach to this project was to do everything in Illustrator. It made it very difficult to manipulate things.</div>

This project turned out really good in my opinion, mainly due to the fact that I was able to stumble upon making the smooth outline of the Apple logo. What I did was just upload a picture of the logo, then by just playing around with some buttons I pushed image trace and came out with what is shown now. I really couldn't have asked for an easier project, for I have a hard time following tutorials sometimes. For once though, things just fell into place. Perhaps more descriptive words could have been added, but I didn't want words to start running together, which would have made the overall image more cluttered.<br />

This project was fairly straight forward because all you really had to do was follow steps in a tutorial. The biggest challenge arose from one of the more unnoticeable elements. That arc of blank space above SIGN UP NOW had no instruction, and there were no tools I knew of that could do that. After much experimentation, I finally just resigned to utilizing the pen tool to do it manually. It isn't perfectly symmetrical, but I still think that it turned out pretty good.<br />

This is my final project. Now calm down. I know that you must be pretty taken aback by this work of art. I did this by first creating the original Steve and then a type layer. Each new slide consists of a type layer, and an altered version of the duplicated Steve, except for the last slide which has an image that is entirely Steve's work. Good job Steve. Then in the timeline window I had to make everything shorter so it didn't last so long. To loop it I just made it a looping forever GIF.mylanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03075284940110578535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773299831749837098.post-90996889117097392552013-11-12T12:12:00.002-08:002013-11-12T12:15:44.317-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This project was actually pretty easy and I didn't have much trouble with it. It mostly consisted of just selecting, dragging, dropping, and then resizing images. The only decision that was completely up to me was really just how I should have the flickering light affect the rest of the room. What I decided to do was just create a white overlay layer and lower its opacity. Then to make the adjusted opacity independent of the adjusted opacities dealing with the animation I just created a duplicate of the layer and then grouped the two together. This tricks Photoshop into thinking that my adjusted opacity is the full opacity. Doing this allowed for the light of the room as a whole to be adjusted in proportion to the adjusted opacities for the copy and pasted key frames for the animation.mylanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03075284940110578535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773299831749837098.post-12958548916903373682013-10-22T12:28:00.000-07:002013-10-22T12:28:58.699-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am actually quite happy with how this project turned out. It isn't perfect, but the final outcome has far exceeded my expectations. The collar in particular proved to be the most difficult to figure out how to do. However, once I realized that adding a shadow was extremely helpful it started to look a bit more realistic. Overall, I think I did quite well considering the task that was at hand relative to my skills at photoshop.</div>

This project I consider to be my most successful. My proudest accomplishment is how I made the wards themselves. They were originally on a reusable shopping bag so I used the magic wand to select everything but the wards and then I deleted those images. Then I selected the wards and filled them with black so they wouldn't have the texture of a wicker shopping bag. What I found most difficult was trying to put everything together to make the whole finished image make sense. It is very easy for things to look out of place, especially for the creator.<br />

What I found to be the most successful about this project was the fact I was able to successfully apply the vanishing point filter to the words on the wall. This proved to be a great obstacle for me, but with the help of Mr. Cole I was able to overcome it. After I finished the project I realized that I forgot to mask out some of the words that spilled over the door way. This was solved with the combination of the clone stamp too, the dodge/burn tools, and finally I finished it off with the spot healing brush.<br />

The main complaint I have with the outcome of this is that my henna tattoo is not blending at all. The main factor for this was time though because Photoshop and I don't always get along. This definitely could have been better but at least I didn't do the worst.<br />

This project was for the most part pretty simple. Getting the frame in perspective though had to be the hardest part for me. Also, the fact my computer would freeze on me and not save properly didn't exactly help, but in the end I managed to work through it.<br />

My follow up consists of some smoke which came in such a clear image that I didn't even have to adjust any levels to select it, and a lower quality image of a giant fish trying to swallow a diver. The diver I managed to get rid of in the image, but in retrospect that wasted a lot of time because he would have gotten cropped out anyways. Oops. Either way, I managed to incorporate both the perspective part of the project and the channel selection.mylanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03075284940110578535noreply@blogger.com0
