Photoshop Tutorials Pt 1

About The Project

It is the start of sophomore year. I am taking video and design. My first design project was doing a bunch of photoshop tutorials to get to know the program better before we actually start our own independent projects. So what we had to do was follow along with videos teaching us how to edit photos using certain tools. 

The Process

For the first tutorial we learned how to take out items we do not want in the backround or just do not want in the picture period. To take out items in the background I used the content fill aware tool. Then I also used that same tool to take out a logo on a surfboard. 

For the second tutorial I learned how to use the patch tool to take out a logo off of a shirt that I did not like in the picture. 

In the 3rd tutorial I learned how to use the clone stamp and healing brush to take off the tags a girl had on her jacket and use the healing brush and cloning stamp to make it still look normal.

The 4th tutorial was about using the clone stamp and the patch tool to remove distracting objects in the background that I did not want in the photo.

In the 5th tutorial which I thought was very useful was learning how to remove blemishes. You do that by using the healing brush and painting white over some the spots the healing tool could not fix.

In the last tutorial which was not cooperating with me so it does not look completely right. What I did learn was using a mask, Extending pictures, using filters, edge refine tool, quick select, using the brush tool to fix some spots with black and white paint, and making everything look put together as 1 photo. 

My Thoughts

I liked learning all the tools. Some things I did not like was having to use a video to learn, I would rather have an actual teacher tell me what to do. I did not like the videos also because the guy had a different version of photoshop so some of the tools did not work. Things I would change would be fixing the girl in black photo because some parts of the background do not look clean and the shoulders are cut off and that was one thing I could not get to work. I gained a lot of knowledge and more experience with photoshop and learned how to use many tools I did not know before. Overall I thought most of it was fun to learn until it got frustrating because photoshop did not cooperate with me.

Graphic Design Final

My Favorite Projects Typography Graphic My 3rd favorite project was the typography projects. We found some of our favorite quotes that were meaningful to us and then made a graphic design out of it. The project took about 2 weeks. Some challenges I faced were just trying to find the right color schemes for each of my graphics. Some new skills I learned were how to use different types of pens to create different styles of strokes and textures. I took feedback on my color schemes. I changed the style of the spider because it did not work well when I filled it in with color. I think overall it turned out pretty well I think there is some room for improvement though.  Concert Advertising  My 2nd favorite project was the concert advertisement. What we had to do was pick an artist or musical artist and create a poster, tickets, and poster. This project took about 3 weeks. The challenges I faced were just trying to figure out how to put ever single piece of information ...

House Project

The Project So for this project we used sketchup and we had to make a model of a house we found on houseplans.com. This let us learn sketchup more and how to use different techiques in sketchup. The Process First we had to find a house then we had to look at the measurements of the house. I first just made a big block then I shaped it to look like my house. Then once I just got the shape of my house I added a porch and stairs. Then I started adding windows, doors and stuff like that. Then finally I looked back at my house and just tried to compared them and I added extra details that I forgot to do. Then after that I made an animation of giving a tour of my house.  I used this texture for my porch I used this texture for my house. What I Learned I learned how to use sketchup and different tools and techniques within sketchup. Like the push and pull tool to make a shape different heights. Then I learned how to use the orbital tool to move the camera an...

Semester 1 Final

Reflection This semester I have learned a lot. Like using Photoshop and Illustrator. I like Photoshop personally because it is a lot easier to learn and I like photography and editing my photos better than making graphics on Illustrator. My two favorite Photoshop projects have been one of the first ones we did, which is the "Nature Man" one. I also really liked the Panorama one. Nature Man For this project we were given a picture of this man and a bunch of nature pictures. We had to put them together by using clipping masks to create a "Nature man". I do not remember how long this took because we did this project at the beginning of the year. I had trouble just getting started and trying to decide what I wanted my vision for him to be. I honestly just played around with it until I made something I liked. I learned how to use photoshop a lot better like using those clipping masks to put more than 1 picture together to create just one picture. The feedback ...
