Week 3 Assignment: Word Play

For this weeks assignment (week 3) we were assigned to pick a vocabulary word either in a dictionary or thesauras and use the synonym and antonym as the word describing our pictures. My word that I choose to come up with synonyn and antonym was "Happiness." The synonym I choose was "blessedness," representing the top photo and the antonym I choose describing the bottom picture was "gloom."
The picture at the top was filled with pictures that represent blessedness. The bottom photo had about 10 layers and was filled with images that represent gloom, which to me, I took that word as meaning of sadness. I used about 7-8 different layers in the top picture. I used the the quick selection tool bar alot with my images. I played around with the color selection tools and the black and white. I used curves alot because I really liked how it made my images come together in my photos. I used the rotate tool bar to rotate my images to a direction that made my images stand out. I added my text and in the photos and then arched them to make them not look so plain. I scaled down my layers within the background and just had a lot of fun with learning the different tools on adobe photo shop

Assignment 2: Fortune Cookie

 Use your talents. That's what they are intended for............

My fortune cookie that I choose was: Use your talents. That's what they are intended for... for my week 2 assignment. I used 6 different layers in these two different photo images. I took pictures of things around my house that would work just perfectly for this theme. Since my fortune was based on inner talent I choose to be creative with it and do something I thought I could never possibly do. After completing my works of picture art, it showed how much talent and creativity I truly possess within me. I added my daughter in the first picture which made the photo work out very well. I did multiple layers of the same images and played around with the curves tool bar alot. I took my original images and used the magic tool brush and also used the lasso tool bar and several other tools to make my pictures turn out the way they did. I'm very proud of my work although it was difficault and challenging. As I worked more and more on it I ended up getting the pictures the way I wanted them to be. I'm looking forward to the next project so that I can Continue to impove on my skills. This fortune cookie allowed me to do whatever with my pictures to show true talent!!

Heavenly Images Weekly assignment 1

I took five different images that I shoot at home and did my own creativity with the images and putting them all together as if it was one beautiful image. I changed the colors up by using the curves adjustment tool bar. I cut the individual pictures of the butterfly and flowers to surround my daughter. It reminds me of happiness and beauty. I choose these images because they all went together to make this image stand out. I mainly just played around with the tool bars today to see what I could do with my images. I feel real good about what I created and plan to get more creative each time I play around with photoshop.
