Class: ASM2O1 Teacher: Ms. Evangelou Due Date: June 4th, 2018 • In this project, we had to find a mythological creature from ANY culture and create it using a hybrid of different photographs by using the clone stamp and healing brush to create a realistic hybrid. And we had to find a separate modern setting/background for the hybrid (Urban Setting). • What I learned from this project is to create a believable creature like Pegasus in my case, by using a picture of a white horse and swan wings. • I like on how I got to pick my favourite animal (horse) to be included in the hybridization. What challenged me, was to think of a mythical creature to be chosen for the hybridization. • In this project, we were supposed to make a 3-D shape that encloses volume (sphere) from a 2-D shape. So, I had to search up a tutorial that shows on how to make a sphere effect in Photoshop. • What I learned about this project was that I had to use different lighting effects (ex. curves) to create a light to dark shade. • I didn’t find anything challenging about this, because I just had to follow the video on how to make a sphere effect in Photoshop. • In this Hawaii Postcard exercise, we had reviewed on how to do layers, layer style and the new tools, which were the blending modes and opacity. • What I learned in this project, was to use the blending modes such as the Filter>Render>Clouds, also I got an idea on how to use different layer styles and layers, which has helped me for couple of my assignments. • I liked the outcome I got from this project, and this project wasn’t challenging because I just had to follow instructions. • In this assignment, our class was suppose to pick a city which in my case was Dubai, and make a travel poster for the city. Here, I had to follow the same concept as the Hawaii Postcard, like use a clear photo of the destination for the background , and another smaller picture (with a white border) that can be enjoyed at the destination. A tag line for the place and a symbol that represents Dubai. • I learned to make a white border around the picture, use gradient effect on text, and use a drop shadow on the eagle. • I liked the fact I could use Dubai as my city for this project. What I found challenging was to make a tag line. • In this project, we had to make the picture symmetrically balanced. I used colored squares, and made a balanced effect. • I didn’t learn much as I just created colored textboxes • This picture was decent, and it wasn’t much of a challenge as I just duplicated the colored squares to save time. • In this project, I had to pick a Water Flower, and type Flower on the middle, and made a watermark effect. • I learned how to make a watermark. • The picture looked decent, and it wasn't challenging, as I had to follow the instructions provided. • In this project, we had to use the selection tools that we were using so far to individually select out of the document, various food items to create a face with two eyes, a nose, mouth, ears, hair, neck and various other details. We had to use multiple layers and show how I know how to expertly select, duplicate layers, and move objects. • What I learned in this quiz was to duplicate parts of the food items by holding Alt and dragging. • What I liked about this quiz, was the outcome of the picture looks almost like a human’s face, but reminds me more of the Sesame Street characters, lol. Having 1 hour to do this project was a bit challenging for me. • In this project I got some practice with cutting images from a background and the masking tool. • What I learned about this picture was to use the layer mask, and unmasking from the paint brush tool. Also, cutting pictures and moving them using free transform. • What I liked about the project was that the picture looked almost realistic. The challenging part was to unmask the jets with the paint brush, which was really time consuming. • In this project, we had to research and select two tutorials that I had to use for creating artistic text effects in Photoshop. For each tutorial I had to select a word/quote that applies to struggles faced by teenagers (two different words). The example I showed is DRUG USE. • What I learned in this project was to use Bevel & Emboss, Gradient Editor, Inner Glow, Change Lighting Effects, Using Sparkle Brush, to create a good text effect. • I really liked the outcome I got in the project, it looks decent. The most challenging part of this project was to find a good tutorial and a tutorial that can be connected to the word DRUG USE. • In this project, I had to use my yearbook picture and turn it into a comic effect. I had to find a good tutorial. • What I learned in this project, was that I used curves and brightness & contrast to adjust the lightness to make the picture better, I used clone stamp for my skin to remove the small blemishes. • I liked the comic effect from my face. The challenging part was to get a good tutorial that makes a comic effect, otherwise I just had to follow the instructions in the tutorial, which wasn't really hard for me. THE END!!!
