A Picture Worth A Thousand Words


This picture wasn't hard to do and I didnt have troubles making it. I found my picture.
I went to file and made a new document. I used the text tool to write my name 4 different times.Then I went back to the other document and went to select and clicked color range. Then I clicked shadows.Ctrl J to make a copy of the selected pixels. I did the same thing but went to 50% gray. Then I used the brush tip shape and the shape dynamics. I painted it and then inverted and copied to it and then used gradient overlay and darker color blending mode.

Creation of Choice

I made this photo because I didn’t know what else to do. The first thing I did was make a brush preset. I selected what I wanted as the brush and clicked edit define brush preset. My brush was a face.  Then I used the paint brush to make the green background border. Then I extracted a toad and made a copy of it. I enhanced the toad with vibrance. Then to the copied toad I used effects drop shadow and stroke. Then I extracted the bird and made a copy of it. I replaced the color in the bird from red to yellow. Then I used text and wrote creeper. Then I made the border and to do that I selected all and then went to select and clicked modify border. I typed in the amount of pixels and then used the paint brush and filled it in.
ctrl+a-select all  ctrl+c-copy  ctrl+v-paste ctrl+d Deselect

Personalized Card


This is my personalized card. I made the custom brush of a toad, snowmobile, and a rifle.  To create a custom brush you bring up another picture and select the part you want as a brush. After you have that selected you go to edit and click define brush preset.  Creating a clipping mask is easy. You take a picture that you want behind your text and you put the layer over your text layer. When you do that you need to right click on the picture layer and go to clipping mask and click. Then you need to drag the picture into the text on the screen..

Flyer

All my images were taken last year and the year before. The bears are the only things color corrected.I took all these animals out of pictures. All of my pictures were resized. My images use to be on one layer untill I merged them all on to one. I didnt change the opacity. I didn't use the layer styles. I didnt do anything with the blending modes. I used a text generator to put my words on my flyer. I think its pleasing to the eye.Its pretty self explanitory. They are animals at the zoo.

Choice #1

 This is my original photo.Easy mode. I took this as I was on the highway towards Hackensack.
I used levels to make it brighter. I used the clone stamp to take out the sticks and the date. I like this photo more because the sticks aren't there to take your attention away from the deer.

diagonal

 Took on easy mode.
I didnt wanna use the levels because it changed the colors that I wanna keep. I used the clone stamp to take away the bad bricks and the side walk and the metal thing.Your eye gets cought on the bottom and you look up.I like this photo better cause the grass is there.

Landcape

 Took this photo on landscape mode.
I used levels to make the photo a little brighter. I used the clone stamp to take out a tree.Land is 2/3 the picture. I like this photo better because the tree is gone and so is the date.
