Design Your Own Art Project: Personal Image Photoshop
In this project I took a personal image and edited the image to make it different. What I changed was adding a sunset and changing the color of the sunset. I also enhanced the sunset and had it blended into the person and the horse making it look as though they are transparent in certain pieces.
Understanding Scale and Proportion: Landscapes
In this project we learned how to scale a cropped object from a different picture to fit into a different background. We used many tools to scale the cuts. We had to place them in either foreground, background, or middle ground. The characteristics of foreground, middleground, and background are the way an object appears in a photo. For example if you put a rock that was once in the foreground of a picture and you leave it the same size and put it in the background it will look really big and fake. However, if you take the rock that was from the foreground and scale it to the correct proportion making it look like it belongs in the background it will not look out of place or fake. The most helpful tools I found in photoshop were the selection tool and the magic wand. These tools helped me tremendously with getting the perfect selection.

Original
For this tutorial I began with making the skin tone darker. I did this by changing the brush to soft light picking a color that was a little darker than how I wanted it to turn out and want over the entire face. Then, I did the eyes with soft light brush and added blue to the amber which made the rim of the a grayish blue. After this, the final touches where the teeth and hair. For the hair I took soft light brush and did all over her hair. then used the eraser to refine the edges and make it look more realistic. for the teeth I did the same process. Used the soft light brush and went over the teeth with white.
Letter Portrait
I began this project by picking and choosing photos off the internet that where letters of my name. I then went through and added filters and affects to unify it and make a little more like my personality. I finished by adding the black background and a couple other finishing touches.
