Project6 -- Sampa

It was a great experience with this project. I have select two pictures as a background for this project. Besides color correcting for the background image for this project, I have used Extract tool to cut one portion (young boy) of the picture and mixed up with another picture. I have used Brush tool to blend up two pictures and created a single picture.
Created an eye-catching title for this project. I have used Rough Pastels, Film grain and Stained glass filters and used Screen mode to give a different kind of effects and look for the title. Created a paragraph, which describes about the theme of this project. Changed the paragraph to a shape and used both kerning and leading to create a space between characters and lines. I have used custom shape tool to create the shapes and then used Hard light mode and Drop shadow to blend with the whole picture. Created a gradient mask and soft light mask to give an effect to my picture.

Well, here's a bit of contrast from previous assignments. Haha! For the record, I'm not a gardening fan, though I do enjoy beautiful gardens. Perhaps it has to do with having such a busy schedule? So I was putting this together and realized that sometimes less is more. I can't put any texture on the text because it's already quite stylized. I did play with the kerning etc on the text in the upper right corner. When I changed the font where it says "dirt" the size of the font was too big and the spacing around the word wasn't quite right. I also had to change the spacing on the word "art" when I increased the size of the font. The background picture I found online and cropped. I also added a dry brush filter after adjusting the color. Again, less is more, so I opted to add only two shapes - the butterfly and the swirly thing under the word "art." (Hope I don't lose points for having no shape around the paragraph text) For the darker corners I added a layer, filled it with white (whatever works), and added a gradient overlay and set it to radial. By default the gradient is centered which didn't work for this project. I found, however, that if I drag the layer and fill it again it essentially moves the center of the gradient. Then I set both the gradient overlay and the general settings to multiply and changed the opacity of the general settings.

Interesting project! For this project I used couple of layers – for Title heading I used Wrap tool to create an arc effect and Texture Filter to show Mosaic tiles effect. For text about rose parade I used Ellipse tool and set a path to write it in a circle. After couple of trial and errors I was able to do it right. I had to create the circular path once and I was able to use it again for the second line. Two shapes a cloud and flower were used in a separate layer with the use of free form tool. Initially when I created the shape there was just an outline but there is a seperate setting called fill pixels that create a shape with filled color. I used Vactor mask to create an overlay on cloud and another Vactor mask with soft light effect to create a shadow effect on the image.

well with this project i did have some fun that surprised me. i liked this all except for the having to add the shapes. they didnt really fit to me but i guess it works. now on the text layer for the title i used drop shadow and outer glow. i also used the wave warp effect to give the text a slight curve and used the smooth. i also used leading to tighten up the space between the font(which im glad i learned about). i used the soft light feature on my gradient layer which gave a cool effect on jordan which darkened him alot. i like how with the text i made the paragraph like a 2 in one if you read the red words its another little quote of encouragement. I used bold font to make those words stand out a bit. i think ill take the shapes off and make this a background for laptop cuz its pretty encouraging to me personally.

For my background image I used auto contrast and auto color to bring out the blues and give it a grainy feel. For my title I used several filters including cross hatch and smudge stick. For my paragraph text I chose a color and a font that I thought would stand out well against the background. I modified the shaped with varying degrees of success. The rainbow gradient put a good "other-wordly" feel to this project.

For the layer composite image I cut out a telephone pole and used the soft light tool to make it look like it is under the water. The text has a gradient mask and faded. I used the luminance blending tool with the painting on the bridge. The rest of the objects were cut out of their original images with the lasso tool. I had problems with the clipping masks and gradients, because I couldn’t think of any way to apply them to the images. I feel like I wasn’t being very creative with this project.



I used the Artistic Dry Brush filter for the image of the Waterfront. This filter makes the image look like it was painted.

so to start with the pics of my son that i used filters on.I used the smart sharpen filter, the artistic colored pencil, and also the sketch chalk and charcoal filter. i played with the levels a bit and i like the outcome. its different but something about it make me want to put it up in my room which is black and white themed. now with the picture of the summertime cover i did i used a few different things as far as the layers. I used a gradient overlay on the background. then for the blending of the women into the image i used color burn on the layer to make it seem like it was transparent yet blended.I used a screen filter on the layer with the beach scene which i liked the blend effect. i used the wave style on my text to give it the look it has which i think goes with the concept of heat and beaches...( heat waves and the beach has waves..lol)..
