City Panorama

Design Log:

This is a panorama shot that I took of San Francisco, Ca a few years ago. I didn't have a panorama photo setting on my camera back then, so this is actually 4 photos stitched together. I used many tools to blend the images together, and then I used the color filters to make each view a different color.

Fisheye

Design Log:

This is a random self portrait that I made about a year ago. The original image of the camera was just taken off of Google, and the picture of me in the lens was taken by my friend when I lived down in San Diego. I drastically adjusted the exposure and contrast in this image, and also in some areas I used the paintbrush tool for it's solid colors. I didn't make this picture for anything special, I think I was just bored and felt like playing around on Photoshop.

Rasta Lion

Design log:

I created this image over a year ago and honestly don't remember exactly what I did, but I remember using many filters from the filter gallery and then using the paintbrush to get the red, yellow, and green colors in there. The original image came from google. I just typed in 'lion' or something and it eventually came up.

Design log:

The two original photos used to create this image were taken right outside of Santa Cruz, Ca off highway 1. All I did was rotate one of the images horizontally and then combine the two in the middle. One image was a bit darker than the other though so it made the sky very difficult to blend. I eventually decided to just use the magnetic lasso tool to select the sky on one side and then mirror the image onto the other side.

Week 15- Adobe Tutorial Resources

Design Log:

Before I began working on this assignment I watched the following two video tutorials.

• "Using the Filter Gallery"
• "Working With Brushes"

I found these videos at the Adobe TV website.

Week 14- Pop Dots

Design log:

I enjoyed using the Pop Dots technique on my pictures. It was sort of confusing at first, but once I got used to the gradient tool things seemed to get easier. Above is the first image I made. The photo was taken in Sunnyvale, Ca.

The image seen below is a result of me being bored before class and playing around with my original picture. I decided to post them both up for some reason.
