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/

Pumpkin Glow Photo

This is my glowing pumpkin project from the Napp website. I put the picture of the joker on here by using the layer style and color range tools. I think it turned out really well and looks cool. The url for the tutorial was : http://members.photoshopuser.com/article/halloween-photos/

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.

Burn Tool: Before and After

BEFORE

AFTER

I used the burn tool in this project to demonstrate the effect this tool can have on an image. I decided to make the person in the image stand out by using the burn tool on the background behind him. The tool darkens the pixels of the part of the image you use it on. I think the tool had a good effect here and it made the part of the image that I wanted stand out.
