Birth Of Venus

This was by far the most time consuming project that we have done yet, it tested all of our Photoshop skills, and even some that were in Adobe Illustrator, which is similar to that of Photoshop. This is a very modern take on Birth Of Venus that reminds me of an alien almost because of the outer space setting. Here is the original compared to the replica:

Word And Brushes

For this project the directions were to use your imagination and think of a word, write it in Photoshop, then upload brushes in order to make it look cooler. My first word was Imagination and I had to upload a ton of different brushes in order to make it look like it does. I am really happy with the way that this came out!


For my second word I chose Fly and uploaded multiple butterfly and cloud brushes in order to get it to look the way it does.

Doodle 4 Google

Doodle 4 Google was one of my favorite projects becasue we could choose whatever we wanted to do a Google design for. I chose to make one for Elvis Presley's birthday.

HDR

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a type of photography that essentially means that you will change the exposure of the picture you take. I will show the before and after pictures of my HDR project.

Physics In Photography

For this project we were to take a picture and write a small essay all of which was about how our picture that we took relates directly to a physics concept. I did air resistance, and I showed air resistance by having a friend of mine blow a dandelion puff so that some of the seeds blew away and I captured that in my photo.

Watermark

For this project we had to use our creativity to create a watermark/copyright symbol using a black brush tool and a transparent background that we could use to protect our work. This is an example of my watermark on a picture that I took over spring break.

Vintage Photograph

To create a vintage picture I used a Photoshop tutorial on how to give a picture that was taken with a new age camera, vintage effects. I had to perform many steps to achieve this final piece. For instance, I had to change color balances, gradients and hues to offset the red and I had to overlay stain patterns and download a picture of the wood and make even more adjustments to that! This picture was taken in South Carolina during my spring break.
