Project 1 Warhol Reflection

In Project 1 what we did was took a picture of ourselves and turned it to a warhol portrait such as the picture to the left. The objective of this lab was to help us learn more about the tools we would be using in the future, and also help us figure out which colors go well together. I created this warhol portrait of my self by using many different tools to help me including the quick selection tool, and magic wand tool. We used these tools to select ourselves and put ourselves on a background. After that we added color to the background and ourselves using the paint bucket tool while lowering the saturation.

                                                                                                                                                                        The software I used was Adobe Photoshop CS6. This is relevant to web design because using these tools will help us get more acquainted with them and will allow us to maybe add these changes to different photos. We might use these skills in the future to maybe change a photograph and make it more better.

Lab 1 Reflection Journal

Lab 1

     In lab 1 we had to use different fruits and cut them out into layers. Using different tools to select them and make them into layer the fruits we used are below.

     
The objective of this lab was to help use practice and get more use to the tools we will be working with and learning to transform a selection. To select the blueberry, carrot, kiwi, and melon we needed to use the elliptical marquee tool after we selected the fruits we then made a layer for each of them. Then we used the magic wand tool to select the mushroom and orange and made layers out of those. Lastly we used the magnetic lasso tool to finally select the radishes and macaroni. The software we used was Adobe Photoshop.

     This is relevant to web design because when we start to create websites and edit photos we can use these skills to do certain things. Like change an image to the way that it looks more pleasing to look at. I see myself using these skills in the future to edit photographs and change the way its suppose to look like.

Lab 2 Reflection Journal

Lab 2

     In this lab our teacher gave us an image of her dog which is named Lancelot. What we had to do in lab was to make a good selection or her dog hair included and leave out any parts of the back. After we make the selection we had to make 8 other copies of the dog and make it smaller then for each dog we had to make different adjustments on each.
The beginning picture we started with is this one below.

      The objective of this lab was to help learn how to make a good selection with minimal mistakes. We also had to learn how to use different types of adjustments. We did this lab by using the quick selection tool to make a selection of Lancelot then we used a mask to make a more clear and better selection with minimal mistakes. After we made the selection we made 8 copies and transformed them to smaller dogs. For each dog we then made different adjustments changing each of them. The software we used to do this is adobe photoshop.

          This is relevant to photoshop because we may be using these adjustments on photos that we may use in our projects and labs. I see me using these skills in future if I need to modify photos to maybe look better so it can be pleasing for other to look at.

Lab 3 Reflection Journal

Lab 3 

     In lab 3 we were given a photograph of a car. What we had to first was to create a background then duplicate 4 copy layers of the car. We had to order the cars in a diagonal kind of way from corner to corner, then for each of the cars we had to make different adjustments to them.
The car we were given is below

       
The objective of this lab was to teach us more about adjustments and what they are capable of doing. We did this by ordering the 4 copies made of the car in a diagonal way corner to corner. After this we had to use a non-destructive technique to add the adjustments to each copy. We used the rectangular marquee tool to do this we used the tool to select one copy the add the adjustment. The software we used to do this was adobe Photoshop.

    This is relevant to Photoshop because when you want to change or maybe add more color to an image you can use these techniques to make your photo look more attractive. We will be using these skills in the future when we need to change something in an image or put less of something.
