Photoshop Assignment 1-2

For this photoshop assignment, we were told to use brushes to make the photo come to life with contrasty colors. I used many different brush tools and bright, pretty colors to compliment my outfit. First, i have to create a new layer so that the brushes would not be permanently placed on the background. I experimented with different brushes that look like flowers and leaves and swirly-like figures i like the way they look. i used colors that were opposite from what i was wearing on the color whele and then some to match, also. My pose was very pretty and girly so i decided to feed off of that by making the picture bright and vibrant. I added an orange sunbeam around my face to make it seem as if i was shining bright. I think this picture was a great success and if i had to do it again i would, with little difficulties.

Studio Lighting Assignment

The studio lighting assignment was kind of difficult. I shot studio lighting a long time ago but something went wrong in the developing process so i had to wait until everyone that hadn't shot studio had the chance to shoot. I shot studio lighting very last minute. The picture could have been of better quality and i wish i had the time to photoshop all of the errors and flaws. I still like the picture but it could have been better. I put Janay in front of a black background and placed a fake flower in her hands. I took four shots of her and of the four, the one i chose was the best. I could have taken more of the light off of her face because she has really light skin in general. I do wish i had more time to focus on the picture instead of having to rush. If i were to do it again i would have done better.

Photoshop Assignment Reflection

For the photoshop assignment, I had to take four different pictures with four different expressions portraying four different personalities. After taking all of the pictures and choosing which four photos were the strongest, I had to open photoshop with a new blank page. I dragged all four photos into photoshop and cropped and copied them all onto the blank photoshop page. We were assigned to make a four by four which is sixteen photos, all of them being multiplied by four. The photos were kind of dark so i flattened them to brighten them up a bit. Using the flattening tool really made a positive difference. The process was fairly easy but very complex and I had to remember a lot. I was very happy with the end product. If i were to do this again, I'm sure i could complete wit with no problems.I enjoyed the assignment and I might do it again just for fun :)
