Web class

Today is the first day of web class. :D Yay for Web Design.

Homework assignment

Good websites:
http://www.sony.com/
http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/index.page?CID=SEM-Q413-Google_Nikon_-_ExactMatch
http://www.canon.com/

These websites were good because it was easy to navigate, and has a clean design.

Bad Websites:
http://gatesnfences.com/
http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm
http://www.burlingtonnews.net/burlington_ufo_center.html

The design is very distracting, not easy to navigate, and a lot of blinking lights.

What I liked the best

Of all the lessons that we have learned these three weeks, I really enjoyed cutting and inserting pictures into other pictures. Cutting and pasting, I feel like, are the foundations of Photoshop. I really enjoyed Photoshop and I might download the software on my laptop.  

This is what I did at home

JARD

Our band name is made up of our first names but put into an acronym.  "Just another regular day" our genre is rock and roll. Abu, Doreen, Rehma, and I are the members for the Band. Abu is the singer, Doreen plays the drums, Rehma is the guitarist, and I play the bass.

Someone told me that the rainbow was random, but I added with the rainbow so that the back would be colorful like the front cover. :) I didn't want to make six song names at the time so I just kept it simple and numbered the songs. 

I added a glow around Abu's head to match with the colorful title. 

I really like this...it feels like it could be a CD cover ^^

I forgot what stamp I used.. but go to filter gallery in the filter section and that is where the filters are  ^^
The color palette was black and white, which I thought was very cool  but it looked really empty. So I added leaves from the paint brush and just splattered it everywhere.

extreme makeover comment

Today we will be learning about retouching photos. Ms. Curtiss showed us a few videos that showed people retouching some photos. Before watching any of the videos and taking this class, I was already aware of the many things that Photoshop could do and how other people were using it. So I wasn't surprised when I saw a girl become instantly thin from the many clicks of the mouse. Even though I was not shocked by the videos, I still thought the transformation was amazing. Honestly, to me, it is a waste of time for someone to redo someone else's natural beauty. While the Photoshop-er is spending time "retouching" a picture, the time could be spent getting more material or something else. 

Graduation at the aquarium (just kidding)

Not really a selfie but i wanted to take a picture like this just beacuse I am not feeling so pretty right now. 

this is a old picture :P. I got the background by searching up tumblr backgrounds on google images of course. I had to erase some things(like the hair) but I didn't want to ruin the background so I clicked the eye button so it wouldn't show and started erasing. Use the softer brush so the lines will not be harsh. Go to the lasso tool so that I can have more options to cut.

....and I don't remember anything else that I did.....

HELLO

To move the costumes, select an item and press v on the keyboard to move it. The photo used to be black and white,but I wanted to change the color so that is why it is different. I forgot how I changed the color in the first place so the result turned out different than I wanted it to be. There are other versions for the lasso tool, to open it I have to somehow find a way to open the menu that will show me the options. At the top, there are text options, so if I don't like the text than I can always change it. :) If my cut job turned out to be bad, I can always fix it by going to refine edge. It makes my selected and cut photo look a lot more smoother and cleaner.

The sinister dog

Go to filter then liquify, to distort the dog. 

I changed the effects to subtract. difference kind of does the same thing.

Fx gives the object shadows

The most funniest part about Photoshop is distorting the picture and changing the effect of it. 

Crtl+t changes the size of the picture

Although this dog doesn't look cute anymore, this is still cool. 

LOLLIPOPS

Use hue saturation to change the color of the lollipops.select an item and copy so it can be added as another layer. REMEMBER TO NAME THE LAYERS!!
If I need to look at what I did, go to windows and go down to history so I can delete or look at anything.
crtl+j is copying to another layer and crtl+c is copying.
