Creation of Choice

These are my creation of choice pictures. I opened up a new layer to make a background with a border.

To make a border, I filled in the whole background yellow with the paint can tool. I seleceted some of the inside of the background, then with the paint can tool, I filled it in black, and that's how I made my border. I quick slected all pictures in this by using control "A". Then I moved all my pictures on to this background. I overlapped all my photos to give them a collage kind of look. In the picture of Sara, I changed the curves to make it black and white. I used the paint brush that I custom-made to put the swirls on this. In the photo of the eye it has Sara & Bre in the pupil. I did that by using the text tool, and I changed the text color to blue to match the blue eye, and the tear. I made a text layer and wrote, "We are who we are." I did control (T) to  make that text layer. The picture of the cat I made changed the curves to make it all black and white. Then I sleceted every other stripe on the cat by using the magic wand so I could change the selected stripes on his tail back to its origanl color by using the eraser tool. I selected the cat, and dragged him over to this creation of choice.                                                                                                                                             

Personalized Card

This is my personalized card. First I quick selected the Mean Girls pictures, and I made a background for their pictures. On sections in the background, I put their names next to them. I used different fonts on each of the text. On two of the names I put a drop shadow, and on the other two I made a stroke. I created a paint brush to put the swirls in the bacckgound by selecting it and went to define brush preset. To put my name, I created my own brush. I put my pictures in my text by going to create clipping mask. I chose these pictures because Mean Girls is my favorite movie. I love music, so I put a few of my favorite music artists to represent some of the music I listen to. I put the yellow swirls in the picture because yellow is my favorite color, and the swirls were pretty. I like this because it has a few of my most favorite things, and it's not cluttered.

blog #11

This is the origanl photo that I took on Oct.5th.

   This is the edited photo. I changed this photo to black and white by changing the
saturation. I used the clone stamp tool to take out the date and time in the origanl photo.
I used the clone stamp to also change the middle spot between Mona and me to make it the same blue that the blanket was in the top photo. I like this photo because I didn't really have to do much to change this photo and I can still tell a difference, and you can see that I changed the color of the blanket in the middle of Mona and me.

flyer blog#12

     I open up a blank document and use the paint bucket tool to make the background light blue. With the writting in this flyer I changed the font sizes to 24, 36 and 60. I changed the font style in each one of the quotes in the flyer. I used Old English, Viner Hand ITC, Rosewood STD, and Kristen ITC for the different fonts.
   I sleceted the two photos of Sara and me together and used the slecet pixels tool, so that I could put a border around those two photos. I made the border size 4.  On the shapes in this flyer I used the pixels slecet tool, then I slected the border tool and changed the size to 4. I used the stroke tool to make the quote that's by the picture of me have a dark red stroke around it. On each border I used the drop shade tool. I extracted the pictures of Sara and me alone, and I put a drop shadow around each of us. In the pictures of Sara and me together I changed both pictures to black and white by changing the saturation. In the top picture I used the paint brush tool shape as a butterfly so that it looks like we were blowing kisses of butterflies out. In the bottom black and white picture, I slected the shirt I was wearing and that Sara was wearing by using the magic wand tool. Then I use the eraser tool to bring back the origanl colors of the hat and shirt. I did the same thing in the extracted photo of Sara to bring her hat and gloves back to the original colors. In the extract photo of me I changed the photo to black and white, then slected my skin in the picture to have my skin color back by using the selceting tool and then the eraser tool. All these pictures were taken on Dec. 8th, 2010.

architecture

This is the original architecture photo. It was taken sept.28th.

The camera was set on easy mode.

This is the edited photo all I did to edited this picture is use the crop tool and change the levels. I change the levels so the picture would be just a little bit darker not much. I crop this photo to cut out the van and little things the were by it. This photo is a architecture photo because its of a building but its not of a town or a city its fucues on just the store.

lines

This photo was taken on sept.28th. The camera was set on easy mode.

I used the crop tool to cut out some of the sides that had little distractions in the back ground. I also used the curves tool to changed the picture a little darker. Thats all I did to edited this photo. This is a line photo because of the fence its straight a cross and thats what this photo is fucused on is the fence and its lines. I like how the fence sticks out more and that there isn't any distractions.

diagonal rule

I took this photo on sept.28th. The camera was set on auto mode. This picture was taken in down town Laporte.

I edited this photo by using the clone stamp to take the garbage out and to clean up the plastic bag. I also used the clone stamp tool to cover up the fence in the back ground. I changed the curves just a little bit to change the lighting darker. This photo fits into the diagonal rule because the fence draws your eye to a different angle on the left. I like this photo because I only used the clone stamp tool and it made a big difference.
