Motion

Strawberries in motion oh yeahhhhhhhhh

Street Sign


Made up street sign. This project was really easy, all you need to
use really is the clone tool.

Cougaroo :)

 
This is my cougar kangaroo mash up. i think it turned out
pretty nicely and looks pretty legit.

Cinemagraph :)


This was a challenging project considering we had little guidance. The end result took
forever but i think it looks pretty well. I had a lot of difficulty trying to make the sparkles stand
out but i eventually figured it out.

From Fish to Dolphin :)


This project was really interesting and one of my favorite projects because of the variety
of options we could choose from. I think the final product turned out very well and it looks 
awesome. i would love to do another project like this.

Groovy Flowers


I hated this project because i did not like the program we used instead of photoshop.
i think this looks really cheesy and weird and it doesnt look that appealing at all to me.
i would have rather done this project in photoshop because it would have turned out better.

Walk Cycle :)


This project was very difficult only because of all the drawing that was needed.
I think it turned out pretty well, it could be a little smoother but over all the project
was a success!

Monster Box


This project was easy you just had to be creative and think of what a child would
be attracted to. i think this turned out pretty well its a simple design but i like it!

Brushes :)


For this project we had to make our own brush and play around with the spacing
and colors. I think this turned out pretty well, the paint splat brushes look really nice
and i like the color combination. Brushes are really easy once you get the hang of it.

Monster Thing


For this project we had to duplicate a kindergartners drawing of a monster.
My monsters name is boomerang and has a lot of colors and shapes. This project
was relatively easy because the designs were so simple to duplicate.

Peakfest Poster 1


This project was challenging only because there are so many different ideas you could
have used to make the poster. I think it turned out pretty well and I absolutely love the 
color combination in the poster. Its a lot different than past posters that have been used.

Typography Thingy


This project was EXTREMELY hard and i did not enjoy doing it at all. 
It was tedious having to outline the picture in words and it became harder 
as i got farther in to the project. I think it turned out pretty well considering
how hard the project was.

Stop Motion


This was really time consuming and boring. I don't like projects like this because
it takes way too much time and it requires attention to detail and a steady hand.
I would not recommend this type of project for beginners.

Before and After


Just playing around with Photoshop.
Look at the difference 20 Minutes of editing can do.

More Retouching



This project was relatively easy. I ended up changing her eye color, hair color, 
nail color, dress color, skin tone, whitened her teeth, made her face thinner and
changed her necklace. I think it turned out pretty well.

From "Gag" to "Glam"

                                                  BEFORE                                    AFTER

This project was really challenging solely because you had to make everything 
look realistic.I think the end product turned out great, and I'm surprised that the make up turned 
out as well as it did. There was a lot of work and effort that went into this piece, but in the end 
I'm happy with the final results. :)

Retouching Magic


                                            BEFORE                                           AFTER
                        
This project was very interesting because this is what some professionals 
do everyday before they post pictures in magazines. You can tell her skin 
looks softer and her eyes look brighter in the retouched picture. Now when
I look at magazines I'll know how ugly they really were before the retouching.

Painted Parrot

This project was hard at first because I didn't know where to begin. I pretty much just 
played with Photoshop the whole class period and this is what i came up with.
I am pleased with the final result because its really colorful and it looks nice.

RGB Color Wheel


This was a fun project but it was very tedious. 
I like my final product a lot and I think it turned out really well.
I wish we could have used internet pictures because they would have been a lot cooler.
Overall this project was fun and creative and the final product is very colorful.

Outer Space

This assignment was extremely difficult because we had to explore Photoshop and figure things out for ourselves. I think it turned out pretty good, it could be better but it took me the whole class period just to do this. I learned about different effects on Photoshop and how to use them during this project.

Retro Hand

This project was my favorite by far!
I love adding color to make pictures look retro and different.
Making the colors sounded like it was going to be hard, but it was actually really easy!

Horsky

This project was probably the most difficult project we've had so far.
It was a challenge to get the right blend of color to make the picture look realistic.
The final product turned out really well though, and I'm glad with the results.

Splatter Paint Tiger

I thought this project was relatively easy. I like the idea of adding the splatter paint on to another 
surface and it turns out looking really cool. The most difficult part of this assignment was 
warping the paint layer. I enjoyed the fact that we got to pick a different animal and colors so 
that everybody's was different and original. Over all this project was fun and easy!

Me, Myself and I

I really enjoyed this project because we had to figure it out ourselves and it was a challenge.
Once I figured out how to do it, I think I did a decent job. The hardest part of this project was
having to make my leg overlap me hanging from the tree and me in the background.

Frog Tongue

This piece was difficult only because of the cloning tool. 
It was hard to make the colors match and it was also difficult to keep track 
of what layer you were on. I kept making mistakes on one layer and then I wouldn't realize 
that I was on the wrong layer

Angry Pancake


I thought I did a decent job for my first time editing.
I think this piece could be better, but it was the first one I've done so it's pretty good.
Moving the berries around worked and what didn't work was trying to make the mouth smoother. I would take more time on the small details and not rush as much. The most difficult part was having to make the mouth fit on the pancake. I learned from this piece that photo editing is easy if you pay attention to what you're doing.
