Mood Board

For this mood board, I was inspired by Seattle. I was also Unicorn Handlers, my boyfriend, and the camp I work at. Each of these subjects have greatly affected my senior year. They each have created great memories. I changed some pictures to black and white and then erased some of it to create a bit of color pop.

For this tutorial I made my canvas and added a black background with a maroon stroke. I split the picture into thirds using the crop tool. Then I aligned the pictures and typed old barn with the same color stroke.

For this old time vintage effect I first adjusted the levels of my picture. Then, I added a cream colored layer fill layer above the levels layer. I changed the blending mode to multiply. Next I changed my curves layer to make this old picture effect.

instagram effect

For this Nashville instagram effect I played with the curves of red, green, and blue. I then changed the levels a slight bit. Then I changed the brightness and contrast to make the picture look like this. To top everything off, I added a tan layer above the picture and changed the blending mode to multiply.

Neon blocks

For  this neon block effect I learned how to use the single row marquee tool. I found a few vibrant pictures and used the tool to copy a row of each pictures colors. then I used transform to shape each row to a rectangle. I copied the rectangle and aligned the new rectangle on top of the other. Then I brought the top of the new layer down, and pulled the edges in to make them look like they were moving into the picture very fast. Last I used a soft black brush with a low opacity to shade the recatngles.

poster runner

For this project I cut the girl out of the picture. Then I used a gaussian blur to blur the background. I then made four paintbrush letters that said conquer, doubt, impossible, and strong. I played with the size of each word and made their color different colors from her body. I spread them out behind her. Finally, I made a quote and underlined "doubt".

black and white color splash

I found a solitary flower. Then I turned the whole picture white. I got my eraser and I erased inside the flower to reveal the true flower color. Finally I zoomed in and touched up the edges.

early morning mist

I found a landscape picture. I applied photo filter to cause the orange sunrise effect. I then used a soft brush with a low opacity to paint a white mist over the lower portion of this picture.

vintage

In this picture I learned how to add a vintage effect. I added brightness, color balance, and levels. I then added a cream colored layer over the picture and then applied a multiply effect to it so it would become more transparent.

rain


For this rain effect I found a cloudy image. I added a layer and turned it black. Then I went to fibers and turned the variance up and the strength down a bit. I then adjusted the opacity. Lastly I went to motion blur and adjusted the distance and angle of the rain.

full body silhouette and background

I learned how to fade different stamps by making a new layer with each stamp and turning each opacity down. I learned how to make a cloud appearance. I learned how to put the silhouette on top of everything so none of the effects I added would effect her.

picture retouch

I learned how to retouch this picture by using the curves tool to change the color and tones of each color on the jacket, eyes, and background. I learned how to use the invert tool to get the desired affect of each retouch I did. I also learned how to group each retouch so I could keep track of everything I did.

starburst

I learned how to repeat the transformation and copy each triangle. I created a triangle with the shape tool and repeated it to make a starburst effect and then I made the starburst a shape by saving it as an actual shape.
