The Ugliest photo ever


if there was a contest for the ugliest photo...this would win first prize! this inclass assignment required us to Quickly find some pictures and blend them together using layer masks. this is what happened. you have a log cabin a meadow and some peppers. worst combo in the world. If only i spent more time finding better images. All i can say is GROSS!

practice run



This is my practice run for the assignment. We have to take two old photo graphs, fix them up and restore them and then merge them together. All i did here though was restore and image and added a bit of colour to it

The hungry worm


Here is my transformation. as you can see in the original image, it used to be a bright red tomato and a little green worm. now its a bright green tomato and a colourful worm. A bit of adjustments were made to create this and new layers had to be made also to create all the adjustments.

Scruffy goes to Paris


Here is another assignment. I took two images, on of the Eiffel tower and another of a shaggy dog. I extracted the dog from its image and pasted him into the second image, then i cut out the sky and added a gradient, put in a moon and added a luminosity to it. I also blurred the Eiffel tower a little so that it doesn't look as pasted together.

This is a logo that i designed for my name. I used a photograph of an anchor and traced a path around it to create just the outline of the anchor. I filled it in with a rusty wooded colour and then using the vector/pen tool i created a ribbon. Both the ribbon and the anchor are stroked using the burn option instead of the brush option. then using the burn/dodge tool i created highlights and lowlights on the ribbon and the anchor. The Anchor itself look like J's back to back which represents my birth name and then the name i always go by ( i like say my alias ha ha). The Ribbon is in the form of a fancy G for my last name.
I used a similar design in art 110 i think it was and i really liked it so here it is again ... a little tweaked .
