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.


Week 12- Introduction to Masks

Design Log:

Although this is just a tutorial image from the Photoshop textbook, I can say that I learned a lot while completing the lesson on masking images.


In many cases when something in an image needs to be selected, using masks is better than using the selection tools because it can provide a smoother looking end result. This way can also save a lot of time, as well.




For this assignment we were allowed to write whatever we wanted inside the box below the dinosaur. I don't know why I decided to make it a Jurassic Park in Space poster. That would be the worst movie ever.... I won't be surprised though if they do come out with it in the next few years.

It'll probably be made by the same guy that thought of putting Samuel Jackson on a plane with a bunch of snakes.



Week 10- Surreal


Design log:

Almost everything in this picture came from brush packages that I downloaded from the internet. The city in the middle came from an image that I got off of Google. I used the pen tool as a selection tool and cut out the buildings from the original photograph.
