Photoshop Projects

Project 2- Northwest

We were assigned to make many different photoshop projects in Graphic Design. When I was making the Northwest project 2, I thought that it was going to be easy when I first opened the guidelines. But when I got to the point where I had to make the mask, i got stuck. I has to ask many questions but when i got it, it was as simple as can be.

Project 1- Compass

We got a project to do in Graphic Design, we were assigned to make the ONW compass and the ONW letters in front of the Olathe Northwest building. This project relates to project 4 and project 2 because we were suppose to make makes of both of them.

Butterfly

We were assigned to turn a normal monarch butterfly into a colorful and vibrant looking monarch butterfly in Graphic Design. I used the Hue/Saturation tool to make the colors inside if the individual spots of the butterflies wings. To select a section of the wing, you just click on the spot but to select more than one section at a time, you click one spot and hold the shit key and select other sections.

Project 4- Collage

We were assigned to make a collage by using a picture of the Northwest building as the base. This project is very much alike to project 1 with the compass because they both have to have masks on them. Whats different about this project that we were given is that, we had to put multiple pictures in side of one and make them into a collage.

My Personal logo

In this project we had to make personal logo that we had to come up with. In my logo, I made everything free handed by using just the Blob brush tool. It took me a few tries to make the heart, and it took me even longer to attempt to make the "ropes" tie around the heart.
When I started to draw my initials i knew that i had to figure out a way to make it flow into the ropes of the heart. After i got my M and my K done, every time i would try to draw the S, it would turn out to be backwards. So I typed an S and made it to the biggest size it would go, made it bold and had to find the closest looking font to my other letters. I can't remember the font name. I put the whole picture in Outline stroke, and put the S to left hand side closest to the tope of the right hand side of the K as possible. I then took the Blob brush tool again and traced the S and blended it in with the K. After i traced the S and it looked good, i deleted the letter S and put the picture back into the original non- Outline stroke. Even though i had to clean it up a little bit, i had completed my logo.

The next time that i have to make a logo, what i would do differently is that i would, plan ahead of what I'm going to make because at first i made a different logo but it didn't look right and i didn't like it. so i started completely over, not even using the same shape or idea. What i would do the same next time is that i would use the same creativity that i used for this logo.
