Project 6 Abel Rodriguez

I did a filter on both images that was water color. The original chair picture had a little cartoonish feel to it already so i added the water color to make them fit. I decided to add the drop shadow to both texts because of the tree with the drop shadow so i added a feel that went throughout the entire picture I also added a drop shadow to the chair. I decided to use the text to promote a fictious website where you would book trips.

I changed the original background with the gradient tool and made it colorful. I also used Levels and Curves. It was difficult for me to find a font I wanted that would look like it belonged to the image. I aligned the paragraph so that it would be even on the sides. I added a brass colored gradient to the PDX logo with a clipping mask. The text was curved like an arc and placed over the globe. From this project I learned how to align paragraphs, and created the Pdx Logo out of shapes.

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.
