14# Pumpkin


Today I put a face on a pumpkin using Photoshop. First I cut out the pumpkin from the background and put it on a black background. Then I used the free pen tool to create the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and the mouth. Then I used blending options to give each part a glow. I used inner glow and outer glow for that. Then lastly I created the effect of light glowing out of the pumpkin using the brush tool and adjusting the opacity. I exported this as a .psd and .jpg .

#13: Mimic of poster


Today I created a poster in Photoshop promoting healthiness. I mimicked the one on Foodbank. First I chose a junk food, lays chips, then i chose a healthy food, grapes. I also created a gradient background of yellow and orange. Then I cut out the chips out and pasted in grapes. I used outer glow in blending options around the bags of chips. I typed the logo of lays and applied a stroke around it. I also applied a stroke around the other texts. I copied the food bank logo on to the poster and applied outer glow. I exported this as a .jpg and .psd.

12: texture effect

Today I added a texture on top of a suit using Photoshop. This assignment required alot of playing with the layers. First I chose a galaxy texture. I selected the suit using the quick selection brush tool. Then I clipped the galaxy texture onto the suit. Then I chose the color dodge layer mode and lowered the opacity so that the buttons can be seen. I exported it as a .jpg and .psd

11: Flier


Today I created a flier for a club using 3 out of the 4 fonts we learned about. I first created a gradient background using linear gradient then stars in the background using diamond gradient. Then I typed out the WHO, WHAT, WHY, AND WHERE. I applied a photofilled text affect to the WHAT. I made the photo in the text stars. Then I applied a glass text effect to the WHY by using the blending options and lowering the opacity. The glass effect gives the text a see through, blurry effect. Then I put a crazy text effect on the WHEN and the WHY by using strokes, blending options and other effects. I also added a sun in the back with a space ship on top of it to go with the theme of astronomy.
