In visual design 2 class this week we learn photo retouching so we could have a new skill and of course a good looking picture to on to our seating chart. I learned how to use the high pass filter, 50% gray layers to make corrections that can also go back and be changed. We also learned smart objects and selective color. I learned how make my eyes " better looking" with quick mask mode.

The book I choose to do was Jack Reacher by Lee Childs. It is a great entertainment and has a lot of mystery. This is my dvd cover if the book was turned into a movie. I used actions and the template to get the lay out I was going for. I Thought it was pretty cool the way it all comes together in the end. Doing the text was challenging I couldn't figure out the nexius font program. But over all I Accomplished this product.

 

My project involved Edgar Allen Poes short story the raven. I created a scene as the cover for a cd. I used many complicated tools that really proved to be obstacles I could not over come. The vanishing point tool and text were my biggest issues. Over all it was a challenging project .

This project was hard toward the end. doing the henna was the most challenging part. If I had more time I would have made it better but this is my completed project.

out of bounds

This is my out of bounds picture. I thought it was a pretty hard first assignment, considering it exited me out with out saving my work. But selecting the snow boarder went better than I was expecting. Thankfully I did finish today and was able to turn it in on time (which is hard to do).

This one was hard because I was dealing with low res picture quality. But I actually had to select a surfer from a different picture and put  him in this one. so that is not the original surfer catching that wave.
