#14 Halloween Jack-O-Lantern

 For assignment 14 we had to create a jack-o-lantern. First step was to open a picture of a pumpkin in Photoshop Then i used the magnetic lasso to only crop the pumpkin and leave its background. Using ctrl+c, crtl+v then crtl+t only the selected area, in my case the pumpkin appeared in a new file.I re-sized it to make it bigger. Then using the pen tool i create its features.To make it look like it was lit I went to the layer panel and changed it inner shadow,outer glow, inner glow,gradient overlay and stroke. Lastly using the brush tool i created what looks like light under the pumpkin.

#13 Change One thing Poster

      For assignment #13 we used the posters from NYC FOOD BANK as our guide. The goal was to create a poster that shows how substitute junk food with a healthier option. To complete this task i first found an image of a donuts box and then apples. To apply the apples to the area the donuts once were I used the magnetic lasso. It selected the area that needed to be cropped. Then i used copy merge and place the picture of apples on top of the box. Lastly i clipped the two layers so the apples would take the place of the donuts. To complete this project i added all the texts from the original posters we are mimicking. I added their logo using ctr+a,crtl+c.ctrl+v,and crtl+t

#12 Adding texture via Layers

        The first step in completing this assignment was to find a dress that you liked. Then opening Photoshop and applying the magnetic lasso. This outlined the dress so only that selected part would be effected. Then you find a textured that you like, in my case it was lace. I then merged the objects by dragging the texture to the selected part of the dress. Lastly i changed the layer mode to color dodge and lowered the opacity so the texture wouldn't be so dominant.

#11 Flyer using photoshop

     For assignment number 11 my Photoshop skills were put to the test as I applied 3 out of the 4 different text effects we learned. First, using the gradient tool i created a gradient background. Then using tutorials i applied the glass and plastic effect to different parts of the flyer. For my last text effect i did something a little different. I began using the tutorial for the crazy text but stopped around step 25. This created two separate backgrounds that make the information stand out. When i finished i saved it as a .psd and .jpeg.
