PHOTOSHOP:combination



The orignal images were one of three elephants aginst a sunset and one of manhattan beach at sunset. First I used the layer mask skill to place the elephants at the beach and I used the inverse skill to erase the elephants backround. next I used the smoooth tool to get rid of excess white. I also added a black feathered edge. lastly I used a warter paint fiter.

PHOTOSHOP: magnetic lasso


First I found the cutest picture I could of my second favorite thing (kittens). I then made a new pink layer and named it backround. Next I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the kitten. last I placed it on the pink backround.

PHOTOSHOP: layer mask


To create the image of by standers running from a giant kitty I selected a picture of a kitten and one of people running from a dust cloud. To start off I first made the running people my backround and enlarged the kitty picture then I placed on the backround. I set the kitty layer to mask and then I used the inverse tool to erase any sign of the former picture besides the kitten itself.

PHOTOSHOP:Featherd Edges

williams_flyer


On the flyer project I chose to do it on a Halloween dance. While creating the flyer I used many skills I learned in class. For example I used text on a path for my catch phrase. I used clipping mask for the word Halloween. And last I used combining shapes to create the crescent moon.
My project included many elements of design. Theses elements include color, lines, and shapes. I used analogous colors like orange, red, yellow, and brown to give the Halloween/ autumn effect. I used shapes like stars and circles, squares, triangles, and lines. I used circles and lines to make music notes, squares and circles to make a boom box, and circles and triangles to make the jack-o-lantern.
I also used many principles of design. I used contrast, unity, and emphasis. The colors I chose orange, red, brown and yellow were similar to each other which showed contrast. The unity was shown with the many stars that resembled a night sky. The emphasis was towards the huge Halloween text in the middle of the page.
