Project#2: Collage and Silhouette



The purpose of this project was to create a collage and silhouette for a person of our choosing and the objective was to learn different skills in Photoshop.  First to create the collage I had to make a good selection of the person and inverse the selection so the person's body would not show. next I had to add a layer mask by clicking the add a layer mask button. then all that had to been was add the photos that I had saved previous and place them where I see fit. The way created the silhouette was to first add a sentence that described the person chosen and then selecting the cutout by clicking the picture of the cutout while holding the command button. Afterwards I had to select the sentence I wrote, copy it and go to the paths tab to create a new work path with a tolerance of 1.0. Next, while the type toll is selected click somewhere on the work path and it would automatically create a place to put text because you would see the cursor. The final step was to repeatedly paste the sentence until it completely covered the work path.
The person I chose to create a collage and silhouette for was Lionel Messi because to me he was the person that inspired me to rekindle my love for football (soccer in America). this project is relevant to Web Design because there are going to be times where I will have to create a poster or advertisement and creating a collage or silhouette is the perfect way to send a message to viewer without being too obvious. I see myself using these skills in the future when wanting to send a message to people without being to blunt and in a creative way so it would appeal to people.

Lab2: Editing Lancelot

Image
This is the second lab of this year and what we did was edit a picture of Lancelot using different adjustments. the main objective of this lab fro me was to experiment adjusting images in various ways so each one would have something unique about it but this lab has had something else in mind which was to teach us a new way to select an image which was to use edit in quick mask mode. the procedure of this lab was to first select Lancelot; however, we did not use edit in quick mask mode at first, we used whatever tool we wanted. the whole class soon realized how difficult it was to select Lancelot. then we learned about the magic of using edit in quick mask mode because we could then select most of Lancelot with ease without having the blue background ruining the image. After making sure that Lancelot was selected to the best of our abilities I had to make at least eight new layers using layer via copy but these Lancelots had to be smaller than the original Lancelot. this was done by sc

Project 3: Restore Old Photograph

Image
this project was the process of restoring a damaged photo only using the editing tools. the objective of this lab was to restore the photo to how it would be before all the damage; all the editing was to be done to the " best " of our ability. the way i completed the project was by using the various editing tools in photoshop such as the patch tool, spot healing brush tool, healing brush tool, content awareness tool, and clone stamp tool. By using these tools in various ways you can get rid of most of the damage done over time. The tool i used the most was the healing brush tool and the spot healing brush tool because in my opinion worked the most efficient. Of course it wasn't perfect, if used too much it would just blur the image so it had to be used with caution. To me this was a very useful even though it is very difficult to become acustom to. It is also relevant in Web Design because in nature or anything there will be a flaw and so to be able to correct the flaw i
