photo editing in photoshop


                                  Photo editing in photoshop


what I learned

 I learned a lot while doing this project. It was our first project that we had to do this school year, I thought it was going to be really hard because  I hadn’t done anything with Photoshop since the last day of school.  Luckily the project was easier than expected because we followed step-by-step off of videos.  I liked this project a lot because we got to do more photo editing while last year we did more of creating logos.  I feel that I learned so much from just doing this first project and I can’t wait to see what I will learn throughout the school year. 


Tools

 Like I said before we are doing more photo editing this year. With that comes a lot of new tools that we did not use before. It was really fun to see all of the tools in photoshop, I didn’t even know you could do such things to a picture. We used tools like the lasso tool, refine selection brush, and the spot healing brush. Those tools did things like duplicate the area and allow you to move it some place else. I can’t wait to learn more about photoshop tools.


incorporating skills

I know that I will be incorporating a lot of things I learned from these videos in future projects. In the videos we did the basics with all of the tools so that in later projects we will be able to do so much more. While using skills from this project I will also be using  skills that I learned last year in graphic design. Even though so far the two years are different as far as projects go I feel like eventually there will be projects where the two areas of graphic design combine.

My personality type

After taking the Meyers-Briggs test it said my personality type was ENTJ. I am 9% extravert, 16% intuitive,1% thinking, and 16% judging. The test also said I take control of the situation and if there is a problem I try and fix it. I try to find new solutions instead of using other solutions I've used in the past or things other people have done. I like to plan out everything I do and set goals for myself while helping others set theirs, I also tend to share my knowledge. I went to another site and it said I like to spend my time talking to others. It also said I think through all of my decisions before I make them. I excel at logical reasoning and am quick-witted. People who have my type of personality are usually refered to as the commander because of our drive to take charge. We also went to a website where it told us celebrities who have the same personality type as us. A few people who are ENTJ are Napoleon because he was a general and emporer of France, Bill gates b...

Maddy Samuelson Sidewalk chalk

On the first day we got our teams and started thinking of ideas that we could draw that would symbolize each one of us. But the symbols had to sort of have the same theme throughout the drawing. So we each came up with four ideas that we could use. Some were similar and some not at all. For my symbols I chose a red rose which means promise, a sun which I think means happy, a tree for nature, hearts for love, and an American flag for USA. To be similar we all tried to do nature related things but like I said before some were a little off topic. On day two our groups started sketching the things we wanted to draw on paper. Some things that people chose they didn't like anymore so they changes some symbols. What I did is I had a few symbols from the day before and I added some so that I could fill all of my space up. I We also had to decide how we were going to draw all of our symbols on the ground. We wanted to be able to tell that we all had different ideas so we divided our sq...

vector illustrated portrait

vector illustrated portrait pre-production When we were assigned this project we were asked to take a picture of ourselves, siblings, or a pet and turn it into a vector portrait. I chose to use a picture of my dog because in that certain picture he had just came back from getting a hair cut and they put a cute bow tie on him. The sun was also shining through the window which made his fur have a variety of colors.We had a choice between an organic vector project and a low poly geometric portraits. I chose to do the low poly geometric portrait, which is when you make tiny triangles on the picture and then fill them will color. I thought that this kind of portrait would look better on an animal than the organic portrait would.  production My time spent creating in illustrator was very enjoyable. I found making all of the triangles relaxing. While working on this project I became more comfortable with using the pen tool. It was a little hard at first because I didn't know ho...
