Digital Portfolio Cover

For this project we were assigned to create a personalized jacket for our own Digital Portfolio. I chose to put the two collages that I made onto the front and back of my cover.

Out of Proportion

For this assignment we had to take our own images or images off of the web and made them look out of proportion. I chose a dachshund, great dane, and greyhound for the out of proportions. I also chose to put a random sun into the picture because it is yet another out of proportion image in the picture.

Peter Lik Movie

For this assignment we had to pick a photographer and then take our favorite images off of the internet and make a movie out of them. I chose to do Peter Lik because I like his work and I love his nature shots. I added a title and credits to the video. I also added transitions in between the images.

Downtown Mall Scavenger Hunt

For this project we actually took a field trip to the downtown mall and took pictures. We then had to enhance the images in Camera Raw. Then we had to put a hidden image into the image to see if anyone could Spot the Difference. I just put up the pictures with the hidden objects, see if you can find them.

Your Choice

For this project we were supposed to look through the Photoshop magazines that Ms. Lewis has and choose a project. I chose to do a person that looks like she is from the future. I first had to choose the model that I wanted to use and then I had to take away all of her hair and then turned her white. Then I changed her eye color to make her look more exotic.

Easter Movie

For this project we had to take pictures over spring break of an event that happened in our life. I chose to take pictures of Easter Sunday at my Aunt Deane's house. First I imported the pictures into windows movie maker and then I put them into the order that I wanted them in. Then I put special effects onto the individual images. Next I put video transitions in between the images and then put credits and a title.

Spring

For this assignment we had to take pictures of what we thought it meant that spring was coming. I chose to take pictures of flowers and bird feeders. We had to put a channel mixer layer over the top of the image, which basically enhances the color of the image. Then we masked what we wanted to stand out in the image. On my camera to take the pictures I used the macromode to get up close to the flowers.

On My Own

This is just a collage that I did because I had some spare time. I searched images on google that were black and white and then kind of put the collage together.

Reflection

For this assignment we had to take a picture out of school and then make some sort of reflection. I chose to just flip the image around and make the layers blend together. To do this I copied the image and then flipped it horizontally. Then I masked one of the images and made them look like one image.

David Hockney

For the first photo we had to take multiple pictures of one object and then fit them back together. I chose to take a picture of my dog sleeping and then add a white frame and a black background. For the second picture we had to take one picture and turn it into what looks like multiple images. I took a picture of my friend Ariel and then put white frames around the supposed multiple images.

Collage

For this assignment we had to look at a lot of collage artists and pick our favorite. Then we had to create a collage that looked like theirs or create a completely different collage that was inspired by the artist. I created my collage after Peter Lewis' Artemis Rising. I took a bunch of different pictures off of the internet that he had incorporated into his collage but changed the look of the collage as a whole. The background of his collage was colored while all of the pictures were black and white but I decided to make the collage all in color. We also had to write paragraph about why the artist inspired us and why we wanted to create a collage after them.

Scans

For these images we had scanned them earlier in the year and we used them to create backgrounds or improve the color of the background. The first image we got to do whatever we wanted to the image and the background. The second image we had to change the color of the background and add a texture. The first image we had to use the patch tool to take out all of the dust and make the black background perfectly black.

Light

In this project we had to do a tutorial first and that is what the first picture is. We had to make a pen mark in photoshop and then copy it so that we could copy and rotate it to make a radial image. The image with the dog was the image that we had to make on our own. I took an image off of the internet of the dog and then I drew stars with the pen in photoshop. Then I put wings on the dog and added dots around it.

Jumping Off The Page

For this project we had to take two images off of the internet and make it look like one of them was jumping off the page. The images that I chose we a grass fields and a pig hot air balloon. I made the pig jump off the page by placing the image in front of the grass field and creating a shadow of the pig balloon. Then I made a drop shadow of the grass field so that the pig would "pop". Finally, I made the background color purple.

Hands At Work

In this assignment we had to take pictures over winter break of people working with their hands. Then we had to make them black and white using a gradient map and then we had to highlight some object in the image and color it in. Next we had to change the color of the colored image by adjusting the layer, the colors or tones that we had to use were cool, emerald, and warm.

Scanned Objects

In this project we had to bring objects from home to scan them and make images out of them. We put the objects on the scanner and left the cover off to make the background black. Then we had to arrange them so that we could make depth in our images. The objects I brought from home are a little tea cup, a ring of fake holly, cough drops, and some Christmas wrapping paper.

Portraits

For this assignment we had to cross process one photo and the photo I cross processed was the last image in this post. The second thing that we learned was how to do an ink sketch and the picture that has the ink sketch is the one with my friend and her dog and is the third picture. we also had to learn how to make a stamp out of an image and I made a stamp of my friend's dog licking his chops. The last thing we had to do was choose something by ourselves to do to and image and I chose to change the color of my dog's hair.
