Assignment #19

First, for this assignment, we used Adobe Illustrator. First, we used the rectangle tool and the ellipse tool to make the body of the flash drive. Then we applied gradient options to them. Then, we applied certain effects and created two new rectangles using the rectangle tool, with one of them being smaller than the other. We applied gradient effects on them as well. Then we used the pen tool to draw lines in between the two rectangles at the top to make it look more like a flash drive. Then, we used the rounded rectangle tool to make the inner body of the flash drive, and applied certain gradient effects on it. Then we added text, and it came out like that.  

Wrapping up photoshop!

In this unit of Photoshop, I learned a ton of things. I've been able to make awesome changes to certain pictures, even mad a still car seem as if its moving. From each of the assignments (3-18), I've learned something.
#3 - I learned how to apply different filters to the same picture.
#4 - I learned how to make a postcard using Photoshop's different layers.
#5a - I learned how to apply opacity to shapes.
#5b - I learned how to color in something using Photoshop.
#5c - I learned how to color tint ( same as coloring in but with a different tool)  in something using Photoshop.
#6a - I learned how to use the gradient tool to make a chick.
#6b - I learned how to make my own gradient creation.
#6c - I learned how to make my own rainbow colored cover using different layers properties, filters and blending options.
#7 - I learned how to make my own gradient background using my name, combining gradient with layer properties.
#8 -  I learned how to photo fill my name; having a background come out in the letters of my last name.
#9 - I learned how to make a sort of plastic text effect, combining different layer properties together.
#10 - I learned how to make a crazy name text effect, using different layer properties and blending options.
#11 -  I learned how to make a club flyer combining the plastic, crazy name, and photo fill text effect.
#12 - I learned how to combine a texture with a suit using different layer and blending options.
#13 - I learned how to make a mimic poster, and to substitute in something healthy in place of something unhealthy.
#14 - I learned how to make my own jack'o' lantern using layer and blending options.
#15a - I learned how to make a flag seem as if it's painted on a brick wall using filters and displacement.
#15b - I learned how to make a flag seem as if it's painted on a face using filters and displacement.
#16 - I learned how to make a still car seem as if it's moving using filter motion blur.
#17-  I learned how to add a quick mask effect; to select something easily and more precisely using the quick mask and brush tools.
#18 - I learned how to make a soft skin glow effect, and for this assignment I added filter effects and using a tool I brushed away parts I wanted to stand out. 

18

For this assignment, we added a soft focus effect. First, we turned on the convert for smart filters option, and then we applied the blur gaussian filter effect. Then we changed the layer options from normal to screen, and the whole picture lighted up. Then, we used the brush tool to brush out certain points to make them stand out, everything except the skin. The before and after is above.

17. Quick Mask

For this assignment, I got a picture of yellow teeth. After I turned on quick mask mode, I used the brush tool to select a layer. Then I switched the foreground colors, and I wiped away the mistakes with the brush. Afterwards, after clicking select, I used inverse. The before, quick mask and after are above.

#16

First, for this assignment, students got a picture of something mobile that was not moving. Then we added the filter effect motion blur. Then, we used the brush tool to brush out the filter effects in a certain area, and the result is above.

15a & b

For this assignment, in part A students got a picture of a brick wall and a flag. Then they duplicated the layer of the brick wall and changed the options to hard light. Then, we added filters and the flag displacement image came out like that. Students did the same thing for the face displacement, but instead of a brick wall, students used a human face.
