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.

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...

How To Print Out A Doc. At ONW

width="560"> Pre-Production Our creative process was to name all the steps first on how to create a document and print it out then we looked at all the shots and put them on our story board to see which type of shot would make sense for each scene.Then we each used the iPad to just take pictures of each shot. Then we decided that I would be the actor for the video and Jaidyn would be the director and film.  Filming Like I said before my role was just the actor and I learned that you have to act like the camera isn't there and not pay attention to other things around you. I also helped like place the iPad in the right places and i learned how to make your shots level and use the 3 thirds rule. Editing I also edited the video. I learned how to use premiere pro and how to put the videos together and make sure they make sense so the audience doesn't get confused or it does not look weird. I also learned how to add words onto the video and how to ad...

Point A To Point B

The Process For this project the goal was to film someone traveling to location A to location B while adding obstacles in their way. So the way our group brain stormed was we first decided the mood of the video and we decided on scary. Then we went location scouting to decide where our locations should be and we decided we wanted to end up in the auditorium and we wanted to make it ironic and we started by the auditorium doors. Then we tried to work on a story and first we had some trouble but then we decided that the main characters friend disappears and the main character is trying to find her friend and she is getting these strange notes that give her clues to where she is. After we brainstormed we started filming and the first day didn't work out well because I think everyone was not on the same page but then the second day of filming we all got on the same page and we got to filming and we got everything done except for the last few scenes that we did the 3rd day bu...
