For this project we had to create a "hidden picture". There is a hidden elephant in this brick wall picture. If you can't see it, it is in the upper left corner. I got a picture of a brick wall and a picture of an elephant. I cut out the elephant, made it grayer and darker (using the burn tool and color replacement). This was a hard project to come up with an idea. Its also hard to hide the picture, they are normally easily spotted.
For this project we had to take a picture and duplicated then put a tent on them to make them a different color. We had to cut it out of a different back ground. Then we had to put a gradient on the back. I used past-pictures for both of these. I liked the outcome of this project.
We had to get a picture of a chair, then cover it with pictures, leaving some of the original chair visible. Then we had to burn/dodge tool and make the light agree with the background. I used a perspective tutorial on photoshopuser.com to put the pictures onto the chair. The part I don't like about the perspective is that you can only do 4-sided picture shapes.
We had to do another photoshopuser project. This one is called "Color Replacement". It is pretty easy and the finished product is a lot different and it changes it drastically. The first picture is the original one- a red car. Then with color replacement I changed the color to pink and changed the black parts to a subtle purple. I thought it came out well.
Today we had to go to www.photoshopuser.com and do two of the tutorials. The first one uses blur. I think the first one turned out really well because it has a cool effect. The second is a picture of time square that I inserted posters. The original picture of time square was not very good for this tutorial, but I made it work. I inserted the two posters of "The Little Princess" and the quote about slinkies.
For this project, we had to take 1/2 of a picture and turn the other 1/2 inside out. I used a picture of Erin and I put in pictures of what she likes to do, and her interests. I used a picture of a basketball, a pink bow, head phones, Lego's, a picture of Bridget, and her cellphone.
For our midterm we had to do a project using a list of tools. These pictures are of me, Katie, and Erin. The shadow is also of us. I wanted to focus on green and a little bit of blue as a color scheme. I liked how this turned out.
