Hey all!
We
have a great opportunity to design the Walk For Warmth Poster for
Community Action Agency. This will be a fun project for an amazing
event!
All the information you will need you can find here...
Photoshop Final
For our final project in Photoshop, you are to pick a story from Greek Mythology, Folk Legend, or your childhood, and turn it into a modern day scene. Using Photoshop, you will piece together this scene using everything we've learned up to this point to make it look as believable as possible!
Some ideas to get you going...
Greek Mythology - Hercules. Photoshop yourself with super human strength, lifting cars over your head in the school parking lot!
Folk Stories - Paul Bunyan and his big ox Blue. Photoshop a beard on your face and find a picture of an ox. Clip the ox out with the lasso tool and use color balance to change the ox blue!
Children's book - Clifford the big red dog. Find a picture of your dog and turn it into the favorite dog of your childhood. You get the picture...
Here are some things to keep in mind:
This is YOUR work. If you can, use pictures you took (might be hard to get your own picture of an ox). Your scene or background should be set in school. Don't use clipart, don't use other people's photoshopped work. You will need to put this scene together piece by piece. You should use at least 6 different images to make your final.
Tools to use:
Lasso, clone stamp, mixer brush, Image>Adjustments, etc...
Looking forward to seeing these!
- Do a Google Search of: your type of phone + wallpaper size
- Once you have found the size of your phone's wallpaper, go to File > New in Photoshop and enter in those dimensions. Remember to have it set to pixels!
- Now use all the tools we have learned so far to create a fun and unique phone wallpaper that you would actually use! Some Photoshop tools and ideas to consider are:
- Lasso tool
- Layer Styles (drop shadow, stroke, bevel & emboss, etc)
- Type
- Paint bucket and Gradient
- Multiple layers for shapes, textures, cutouts, and type
Some ideas of what to create:
- Team or athlete
- Singer, songwriter, or performer
- Family and Friends
- Collage of inspirational words, quotes and phrases
If you finish with 1 wallpaper, make another!
Looking forward to seeing these!

Hey all,
Have you ever seen a cool design and thought, how'd they do that?
I am convinced that with our introduction to Photoshop, we can start to identify the tools used to create pretty detailed designs. Take for example the above poster from the University of Missouri. Football players are cutout (lasso tool), black and white with a transparency that allows the yellow background to show through (image>adjustments>desaturate, layer>multiply). There are shadows (drop shadow) and other effects we can describe...
Our next assignment will be to find some digital imagery that you really respond to (aka that you really like!) and try to recreate it in your own way - by identifying tools used and recreating your own version...
