Wheels On Fire- Photoshop Book Project


This is my project I made from the photoshop book. It's a picture of a sportscar on fire. For this project I used the brush tool, layer masks, the transform tool, and many different filters. I didn't include the white road or the sparks that were in the picture done in the photoshop book. I think the picture looked better without them because they didn't seem to fit well with the colors and rest of the image. Overall I thought the image turned out really well and it looked cool in the end. If i did it again I might change the colors in the image to see if that produced a better looking effect.

Trailside Flyer



This is my Trailside Art Show Flyer. I used many different brushes and editing effects to add things into the image like stars. I think it turned out well because it's simple and catches the eye. Overall, I think the project turned out well.

These are my two ads for WAHS events. I made these by trying to keep them simple, meaning that I used only a few colors in each one. Also, I tried to make some cool designs for each of the posters so that it would be appealing to people's eyes and therefore they would remember the events that were advertised. I think these turned out well and I think that they make pretty good advertisements for around the school.

Retro Look


This is my retro look picture. For this image I used threshold to make the pic black and white, then diffuse and unsharp mask. I also used the gradient tool to add the gradient with an orange and blue color blend. The url for the tutorial was : http://members.photoshopuser.com/article/retro-look/

Watery Sports Picture


For this picture I used two images. The wood background, and a picture of a golfer. I selected just the golfer's body from that picture and placed it on the wood. Then I filled in the golfer with white paint and then I used the bevel and emboss tool to edit the golfer to make it look more like a watery kind of image. I think it turned out cool and looked different. I used the Napp website for this project.

Polygonal Lasso Tool



This is my project that shows how the polygonal lasso tool works. I chose a picture of the NFL player Maurice Jones Drew. I wanted to take out the background, so I used the polygonal lasso tool to outline him, then I used Select > Inverse to select the area of the image besides him, and then I deleted the background.
