Second Marking Period

11- club flyer (did not do)

12- texture via layer mode

The point of this assignment was to change the texture on an article of clothing. I chose the dress in the first picture. I chose a texture of stars. It wasn't very hard to add the star texture to the dress. The first thing you have to do is use the magnetic lasso and trace the entire dress. Then you have to make a it so that the texture is the same size as the dress. Then you have to merge it. When you merge it, the texture transfers to the dress. I changes the opacity and the layer type.

13- Change one thing poster

This task required a lot of merging. It was not very difficult to do. This was mostly re sizing and making it so that the potatoes were the same size as the donuts. After the re sizing the only thing left to do was make it so that the image looked like a poster.

14- Jack O'Lantern

This assignment wasn't very hard. First you have to find a picture of a pumpkin. Then you d to apply an inner glow effect to the background of the pumpkin. After you had to use the pen tool and draw on the face of the jack o'lantern. When you draw the shapes each ends up as its own layer so you have to merge the layers. Then you have to apply  different effects to the merged layers so that the face looks like it is cut out and the inside is glowing.

15a&b- Creating a "painted" effect on a wall then a face

There wasn't many steps for this,but every step was very important. When you open both the background wall and the foreground you have to unlock both of them and place them on the same document. Next you have to change the blending mode of the foreground. After that you have to duplicate the background and change the color to gray by desaturating it. Then you apply a Gaussian Blur. You next have to apply a displacement and save it. When you open it on the image there is a slight blur depending on how much you distorted the image. To make it seem more realistic you change the blending option of the background to hard light. To make it seem more natural you lower the opacity.

16- Smart filtering with motion blur

This assignment was not hard. The first thing we had to do was find a picture of something that would move fast, but wasn't moving in the image itself. After opening the picture as a smart object  you have to filter in a motion blur. You chose how much of a blur you would like. Next you use the brush tool and , using black as the foreground color, you paint over what you don't want to be blurred. In this case it was the car so the car seems to be moving quickly. 

17- Quick masking to add a desire effect 

This wasn't very hard. The first thing you have to do after opening the image and unlocking the background is make the foreground color black. Next click the quick mask button then the brush tool, adjust the brush size to fit what you are changing, and paint over the area that you are changing. Change white to the foreground color and there is a dotted line around the selected are with that you can paint over anything that you accidentally colored. After that you can apply what you want to change. 

18-Soft filtering skin tones

There weren't many steps for this. After opening the image you have to duplicate the background. Next you convert to smart filters then apply a Gaussian Blur. You choose how blurred you want the image to be. After that you change the blending mode to screen, causing the image to become lighter and then apply a layer mask. Then you have to use the brush tool , adjust the size to outline the eyes, then click on the airbrush thumbnail. Change the opacity to 40% and paint over the eyes and other important features. 

19- USB drive

The first thing you have to do is create a rectangle that is 175 px by 300 px. After centering the image you have to use the ellipse tool and create the bottom part of the USB drive. After aligning them select both shapes and unite them using pathfinder. Next fill the shape with a gradient. Then select the rectangle tool and make two smaller rectangles also filling it with the same gradient. After that select the rectangle and give it an arc (do that to both rectangles). Next create three squares making each one smaller than the one before and giving the same gradient to the largest and smallest squares. Align the three squares at the top of the smaller rectangles and create two small rectangles that are the same size and create the line between them using the pen tool. Using the rounded rectangle tool create a white rectangle to put in the center of the USB drive. Make a -3 px offset path and fill it with a gradient. Finally add all the texts to the USB drive. 

20- Marking period 2 test cordless phone

There were many steps in this assignment. This assignment consisted of a lot of gradients and making a lot of different offset paths. There was also some grouping so that any changes that needed to happen to multiple things happened at the same time instead of having to do everything individually. This assignment wasn't very hard as long as you follow the instructions. The most difficult part was making sure that while you are doing this that everything is symmetrical and  it actually looks like a phone. This was a bit tedious because of all the small details.
