Photoshop tools

this video was showing how to remove a background in photoshop. This seems pretty easy to use and doesn't take a lot of steps. This is a really good tool to know and use as it will make layering things on top of each other a lot easier as well as the video goes in a lot of depth and shows the steps and the tools to use them. The video was very clear in the things that you needed to do in order to remove a background as well as giving an explanation to the different selection tools and how they are used. It also talked a little about the brush tool which I can tell is going to be something very important to understand. One thing I find interesting about the video is that there are a lot less steps then I thought there would be and there are a lot of things that you can do with it then I thought there would be.

this video goes through and explains all of the tools that are found in photoshop and not only how to use them but even give examples and will go through and demonstrate how all of the tools are used. This video is going to be the most beneficial to me as it will be something that I will be able to go back to if I get stuck and don't know what tool. to use or how to use a specific tool. I think that this is going to make using photoshop a lot easier in the future as I not only now have a basic understanding of everything but it will be a lot easier to be able to go back to this video for help. One thing that I find interesting about this video is that there are a lot more tools and a lot more ways to use them than I thought there was going to be. I didn't know about the number of things that you can do on photoshop and I am excited to try everything out.

This video explains how to create and merge different layers together. I think that this is going to be one of the harder things to do as it looks like it is going to take a lot of patience to get the layers to merge where I am going to want them to. However I do think that by having and watching this video that it is going to make it easier to achieve this. One thing that I find interesting about this video is that they were able to use and blend 2 very different photos and originally I didn't know that it would be possible to blend 2 photos that are so different as they used a person and a tiger.

Business Cards

These 3 business cards are a representation of myself and the designs that I previously made in Illustrator. I touched on the meaning of the logo in that post, but to recap the logo is about my journey from my small town in the mountains to the sandy beaches of Florida. I chose a more simple design for my business cards in that I want to go back to the simple life myself, and really be able to enjoy everything that comes my way. I loved how the fonts were fun yet professional enough to make it seem like I was in business, but did know how to have a good time. I also didn't want to have too much information on there as I didn't think that would make a good first impression if I were to give someone these business cards. Overall I went for the simple yet effective look and feel.

  Recently I have been watching all of the marvel movies so I decided that it was going to be a fun idea to try and combine the world that I have now and something that isn't real. I chose a different sky and color scheme to make the alien world pop out a bit. I added a horse running because as a kid I always loved riding horses. I then added the UFO, birds and the avengers quinjet to make it something that isn't possible. Bringing the 2 worlds together in different colors almost making it look like it wasn't taken on earth but somewhere else. The images below are all of the original images that went into this final product.

Somewhere

  I chose to use a photo of myself on a beach because I have always liked the beach and I found that there are a lot of different pictures and options for photoshopping myself into another beach photo. Somewhere I have always wanted to go since I was a kid was Australia so I thought that would be a good place to put myself. I thought that it would add something else to the photo and I found while searching for photos options that would include a kangaroo in the picture as well. I have also always wanted to see a real kangaroo in person so I thought that this was a fitting addition to the photo.
