(MP2) Project 6B: Gradient Last Name

 

 

 

I started with adding the text of my last name and making it fit the entire screen. I created a six color gradient

 (shown above) and set this gradient as the color of the text. I went into the layer style of the text and added a 

13px black border outside the text, as well as adding a smooth inner bevel onto the text. I then created a

 rainbow gradient and added a small text of my first name with that gradient, then selected it and added it as a 

pattern across the entire background. I used my previous black-cyan-white gradient as the very back background 

layer across the entire image. I created a brush with style “kyle drag mixed greys” with 70% spacing, and added 

patterned brush strokes in pink, blue and green in the background. I added an elephant shape with an iridescent 

preset gradient, a boat with a solid red fill color, a blue star with a water pattern onto it, and I added a large 

hexagon with my face on it by creating a clipping mask of my face and placing it right above the hexagon layer.

(MP2) Project 6A: Birthday Card

Image
Step 1   Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 4 Step 5 Final Product I started this project by downloading the happy birthday png and opening it with photoshop. I used the eyedropper tool to select the six primary rainbow colors from the happy birthday image, and saved them as swatches in a folder titled "Ezra". With these colors, I created a 3 color radial gradient with magenta, cyan and yellow titled "Ezra Gradient", and put it in the background of the happy birthday. I then created a brush using the "Splatter ktw 3 1" brush setting and making the spacing 20%. I used dark purple, green and cyan from my custom swatch folder and pained aesthetic lines in front of the gradient but behind the happy birthday image. I then created three shapes, a hexagon, rectangle and triangle. In the hexagon, I used my custom green swatch and filled it in completely; In the rectangle, I created a custom reflected gradient with my custom cyan combined with black and white; In the triang...

(MP2) Project 5B: AP Flyer Artboard

Image
Desktop   Instagram Phone Phone Firstly, I had the idea to do a classroom, and display all of the APs on the chalkboard. I went onto google and found a cartoonish classroom with a large chalkboard to fit all of the classes there. The next thing I did was add the title “AP Fair” to the chalkboard, and convert text to shape and free transform path for each letter to put it into a curved pattern. Then I added a white rectangle on the bookcase to serve as the base for a little blurb of text describing what APs I am taking next year. Following that, I added the date and time of the fair in red, so that the color would contrast with the off-white background and be easier to see. I then artificially extended the chalkboard below by making a new, mini chalkboard, which I put the additional information regarding the fair. One of the last steps was to add all of the APs into the central chalkboard, which took a bit of effort to make it look right with the text. I ended up settling on the two...

(MP3) Project 7: Blending Modes

Image
                                        I started this project out by using a picture of a landscape from my recent ASR trip to Frost Valley. I then resized the canvas size (Image -> Canvas Size), and resized it from a 5x7 to a 7x5 ratio. I resized the image to correctly fit this canvas. I then placed 3 images of my friends sleeping at the top of the image, and applied the blending modes “Linear Light”, “Luminosity” and “Hard Mix” onto one each respectively. I placed an image of my friends on the bus in the bottom left corner, and used spot healing to remove the damage on the bus seats and my friend’s goatee. I placed an image of me and two of my friends around a campfire, and converted it to a smart object to add a smart filter on it to show a ripple effect. I finally added another picture of my friend sleeping, duplicated it, and selected an area to add a layer mask to allow me to ch...
