Art Poster


Art Poster
Digital Design I

   First I took three pictures of jewelry and placed them on one document. Next painted the background with black with paintbucket. Then I copied three pictures the website www.neave.com/imagination (I had to make the pictures by using the website with the mouse). Finally I placed each one behind each of the jewelry. I like this project but it needs one improvement. I need to make a phrase for my poster.

Famous for 15 minutes

   First I took a picture of my face, placed it on a document and dupilcated it four times. For each one, I adjusted the colors of them by Adjustments, Gradient Maps. Mix up the colors you use to show the colors in the pictures well. I think its good and it doesn't need to be worked on further.

Cyborg project


Cyborg project
Digital Design I

   First, I made a background using a school picture, using brushes to paint the explosions. Then I took a picture of myself and a cyborg head. Making the picture of me darker by changing the brightness and contrast. Next, I erazed parts of my face, then burning the face with burn tool, where it was erazed. Finally I place all of the objects on one document. I think its great but I need to make the school more visible through the explosion.

What's on my Mind


What's on my Mind
Digital Design I

First I took a picture of myself and placed it on a photoshop document. Next I took part of the picture and placed that on another document. Then I used scale transformation and moved it to the bottom of the document. Next, I used polygonal lasso tool to select part of the top of the head and used Rotate transformation to move it. After that I darken my picture to remove the light from the camera I used to take the picture. Next I made my own background by going on www.neave.com/imagination/. To do this, when you make the background you want, type the print screen button and paste it on photoshop. After that I looked for pictures, resized them and removed the surrounding background of the pictures by using scale, then I used the erazer tool. Finally I moved the pictures to the right background and position and I'm done. I didn't have any problems except it took a while to make a background. I think I should change the picture of me on it. That's all I have to say about this.

My Silhouette


My Silhouette
Digital Design

First I got three pictures of myself and for each I painted each of me with quickmask so I could put them on one document. Then I painted tyhe background with a blue and orange color gradient that is reflected with using the Gradient Fill layer style. Next I used the gradient fill on both the "me's" that are behind the middle "me". After taht I looked online for circle paint designs and painted some in several layers of the project. I finished the project by altering the circle designs with bevel and emboss. I really liked this project and it doesn't need to be worked on. 

Dragon Heart Bottle Cap Jewelry

Digital Design I

First I made the black circle by using the rulers for the exact circle when I made a circle with the elliptical Marquee tool. Next I found a heart online then place it in the circle and changing it's size with scale. I gave it  a blue color. Then I found a picture of a dragon online and scaled it to size, fitting it into the circle. I had to remove the extra details I got with the heart and the dragon by using the erazer tool. After that I added a blue border with the rectangular marquee tool giving it a blue color with a outer and inner shadow with bevel and emboss. Finally after all that I made the banner sign with the custom shape tool, selecting banners. I really didn't have any problems making this. I'm happy with this and I think it's finished.

My Anime Self-Portait

Self-Anime Portait
Digital Design I

I made this using the paranthesis and dashes make the whole thing, though i used "o" for the nose and < for the part on the bottom. To base the picture on this position of the person, I looked for a picture of some of my favorite anime characters. I used scale, skew, and scale to make the letters the right shape and size. Most problems were their size differences, I did what I could to fix them with scale. I'm somewhat happy with the result. I think I should fix the size of the head.

Parody Sign, Beware Crocodiles


Parody Sign, Beware Crocodiles. This is for my Digital Design 1 Class. The reason I made this sign was because one of the teachers said he was chased by an crocodile, and I thought it would be funny to make this parody sign. To make this, I used photoshop by taking a crocodile sign and pasted it on photoshop. Then I put layers over the sign and put a diamond shape over it to fit the sign. Next I traced the crocodile and the guy by using magnetic lasso tool to get the shape and then filled it in with black paint. Finally I erased part of the guy's butt with erase tool, typed some text with the text tool, and made the original sign invisable by making its opacity 0%. I had trouble trying to make the crocodile with the magnetic lasso tool, but I was finally able to trace it. Truthfully I think I could make this better, by adding more to the crocodile and do something more to the guy as well.
