Type Self-Portrait

My self portrait doesn't only have me in it, but also my best friend. This is Ariel :) I had to use the cut out filter and I used paths to recreate the lines in the photo and followed the lines with text.

Scanography

For this project we had to use the scanner. To scan a 2D object we can close the scanner. But to scan a 3D object the scanner top must be open.

Skin Softening

In this project we used a new tool, the Patch Tool. We used this to smooth the skin and make it look even. We also used a a filter to soften.

Warm and Cool Hands at Work

I made the images look like they were color toned by adding masks and different shades of color.

Out of Proportion

I made these images look like they were out of proportion by putting the animals in a setting that they could never REALLY fit in in real life.

Reflections

I chose to do a reflection of an entire image and also to create a reflection in a woman's sunglasses for fun.

Photo Aging

Photo Aging does exactly what it sounds like it does, it ages the photo. It makes the photo look older and worn with just a few simple techniques and brushes.

David Hockney

David Hockney is an artist. He makes both his paintings and photographs look like a collaboration of a bunch of polaroids and photos.

Carter's Mountain

For these photos I color corrected two, changed one to black and white and added a layer mask, made one sepia toned, and added text from another picture to the last one.

Portraits

For our three portrait images we cross processed, made a custom shape, and an ink sketch.

Glowing Lights

We used the pen tool for this assignment. You create your point and create you desired curve by holding down the cursor and moving it.

Collage

I chose to replicate Chen Wang. I think my image is similar in many ways. I used similar buildings and other objects that the things in the original reminded me off. Ex. Mary Poppins.

Before and After

This is my friend Taylor. I thought it would be fun to try and see what she would look like without braces. So in my free time I cloned them out with the Clone Tool. I also had to add a tooth in the back to make the photo look more realistic.

Macro Sharpening

For this assignment we were told to take pictures on our camera using the macro setting. This setting allows you to photograph objects close up and play with the depth of field in the image. Sharpening your photos helps to define the main object of your photo. You can also use a layer mask to hide parts of the photo that are sharpened too much.

Favorite Photographer

I chose Matt Stuart as my favorite photographer. I liked the way he chose to photograph real people. His photos are funny and I feel like people could relate to that kind of everyday life.

Splash of Color

For this project I first changed all of my pictures to black and white. Then, I painted back in the parts of the image that I wanted emphasized. I did this by using color masks and the brush tool. But you can also use the History Brush Tool to do this.

Typography

For this assignment, I took text and created a twister out of it. I skewed the letters flying out of the twister to give them a feel of depth and a different perspective. I also decided to color multiple letters inside the twister to represent my name.

Midterm

For my midterm, I cut out these people and added them to this background. I gave them all shadows to make them more realistic looking. I added the fire hydrant in the back and cloned out a date that used to be at the top of the image.

Visual Puns

Downtown Mall Picture Hunt

We recently took a trip to the Downtown Mall as a class to take photos. I picked five photos and edited them with Camera Raw. After they were edited, I strategically took things out and added some using the clone tool. I also used the color replacement tool to change the colors of some objects.

Jumping off the page

For this assignment, I took 3 dolphins out of one picture and put in another by selecting it. I used the perspective tool to alter the view of the back ground picture and creating a shadow for the dolphins by getting a new layer and adding a Gaussian blur.

Grunge

A Grunge effect gives an image an old timey, sort of dirty feel. We used the Ripple filter, Diffuse filter, softened the effect of the Diffuse filter with a slight blur, and the Splatter filter. These filters altered the pixels and gave the photo this effect. A frame was also added to further this "dirty" feel.

Edited Camera Raw Photos

These are extra photos that I edited through Camera Raw.
