Midterm Exam / Shadows

Grunge Pictures

For our Grunge project I took 3 of my pictures and blurred them, while I left one thing clean and clear to Highlight it. For this I used different filters to change the look of the whole Picture. Mainly Distort, Blur, Stylize, and Brush Strokes. I also used the paint brush, copy, and mask. Then I just added frame around the outside. The first picture is of an old shed with a white picket fence. The second one is of us going over this bridge. And there is the waterfall from the Seasonal project.

Seasonal

For these seasonal pictures I took 3 of 3 different trees with the leaves changing and falling out. Another one was of the sun setting. I took it of the field and mountains across from where I live. And the last one is a Picture of a waterfall that I took on a bridge. It is apparently near where Dave Mathews live.

Kaleidoscope

The first image is of some trees changed to look like the inside of a Kaleidoscope. And the second one is of a red and orange X that was in side of a white, weird circle.

Carter's Mountian

These are some pictures that I took on Carter's Mountain. What I did on the 6th photo is I made the background black and white, but left the apple with its color, and wrote "Fresh Fruit Since 1985" which is when the Mountain was turned into an orchard by its new owners. And for the 7th one is a small apple tree that I color enhanced to bring out the reds and the greens and the blues, and well made the colors brighter. On that one I wrote "Pick Your Own". For the last on I just color enhanced it.

Pop Art!

What can I tell you about this except I took a normal picture of apples on the ground. Only I changed it so that it has more of the pop art look to it. The tools i used were the Ben Day Dots, the Threshold, the Burn and Dodge, and the Paint Brush.

Change My Look

In this I needed to change my look and the background of a picture of me that was taken. For it I changed my hair color. And for my background, making its second appearance on my blog the legend it self, the 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback. Finally I added the Ford logo and turned it mostly black and white.

In this one it was a close up of my partner's face. I change his hair color and cleared up his face a bit. For his background I made it space and added a UFO on the left of the picture.
This it is for us to change a celebrity, so I picked Mariah Carey. I mean who doesn't like Mariah Carey. so for her i made her hair color a red and brown mix. I also made her eyes have a blue tint, but you can't see that to well.

For these photos I used the Elliptical Marquee, Polygonal Lasso, Color Balance, Quick Selection, Copy, Move, Paint Brush tools.

Crazy Combos

For this project it was about crazy combos. for it i was thinking of a "Cat Fish" ya know a cat head on a fish body but some one already did that, so I made "LIZARD FISH". For this I used the Burn, Copy, Stamp, Move ,Text, Free Transform, and Paint Brush Tools. I no it's not much to look, but it got me i good grade.

Post Card

This is me signing on for week two. Now this is the first project we've done and it was to make a personal post card of some thing we did over the summer or some thing about us. I chose to have three Ford Mustangs from the past, present, and one some where in between. If you don't like fords then that's your mistake. From left to right we have the legendary 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback, the new and improved 2010 Ford Mustang Cobra GT, and finally your Traditional Mustang.
