Photoshop Challenge: Nature Man

About The Challenge

My class was given a challenge to use a photo of a man and to use masks and blending modes to change for example his hair, clothes, background etc. One of the rules was that we had to keep his face seen. We were given different pictures to use or we could use ones that we found online but we are supposed to keep him nature oriented. Hence the title "Nature Man."

The Process

To be honest I had no I dealt what I wanted to do and I did not really have any inspiration at first. I just used the photos given and messed around with making masks and just seeing what I could come up with. Then I decided I was doing too much and that maybe I should try to keep it more simple. So I only changed the jacket with like ocean rocks then I wanted to make his hair cool but it never really worked out so I just skipped it. Then I changed everything to black and white besides my nature photos. Then I added a background but it looked weird if the guy was black and whitened I thought he looked better colored. Then I Put a mask of the sky on his hair to make it have like a tint of blue and a dusty kind of faded style. Then I used the paint brush to blend in and do touch ups and it started to make this white glow outline and I thought that looked cool, like the bottle. Then I used the clone stamp to fix some spots.

What I Learned

I learned how to make and use filters like black and whit plus color adjustment. I also learned how to use the paint brush tool to fix the color to make it more or less faded. I also learned to use clipping masks a lot of them. Lastly I used the clone stamp tool for touch ups. I also used the quick selection tool to make masks.

Reflection

Things I would do differently is expand my skills more and have more of an idea and inspiration. So I can make it better. I would use clipping masks the same because it was a good and easy method to use. I learned how to use photoshop more and I feel like I mastered using masks and he quick selection tool in this experience.

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.

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 ...

My Personality Type

About My Personality Type My personality type is an ESTJ. This means that I am extraverted,Sensing,Thinking and Judging. Extravert means that I like being around people and i get more energy when I am around people. I do think this is true. Sensing means I make decisions based on logic and evidence not how I think this should happen. I think this is also true. Thinking means that I use logic for my thinking and I do not really think about feelings. Judging means that I would rather have a plan and know whats going on rather than just winging it. Some famous people that are the same type are Hilary Clinton and Michelle Obama. Some reporters and lots of actors and actresses like Emma Watson. How Well Does This Describe Me I think this describes me pretty well. I am definitely extraverted I hate being by myself I get energy from being around people. I also think the sensing is right too because i never really go with my gut I always pick the most logical or reasonable thing to d...
