Photoshop Challenge



This week in e-comm we were given a challenge. After watching photoshop tutorials and learning about all the essential photoshop tools we put are new skills to the test. We were given a few guidelines but other than that we were set loose and told to use are creative juices.

 First we were given a portrait of a man and a few nature photos the we could use if we wanted to. I was inspired but the nature pictures so I decided to use the provided pictures. I started with the jacket and changed the jacket to a picture of the side of a mountain zooming in on the rocks. 

 Next I added a picture of tree roots to he under shirt, but after applying that mask I thought it looked a little clustered so decided to just make the shirt a color. After making the short purple it didn't match the jacket so I decided to color balance everything to have a purple theme. 

After changing the shirt to just be a plain color I decided that maybe the tree roost would loo cool on the eyebrows. it was very hard to make a mask that small and precise but I think it ended up really cool. Then just to finish out the theme I used the same color balance to make the hair purple. 

 I really ended up liking my final product but it is not what I we expecting it to look like. When I started I did not really have a vision I just started editing and changed things to make them fit. Overall I think this project was very fun and challenging and I hope o do something similar again soon.

Color Wheel

The Project: This week in e-Comm we made color wheel! We did this project to learn the basics of adobe illustrator and color schemes. We learned about the primary and secondary colors. First we learned about good color schemes and the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Then we were taught how to use adobe illustrator. What I learned; First we earned about color schemes. There are many different color schemes, including warm and cool colors, monochromatic, color triads, analogous colors, and complementary colors. Then we learned how to use adobe illustrator. First we created a new file using he web setting which was 800x600 pixels. Then we started making our color wheel. Then we learned about all the tools on the side and the short cuts for those tools. How it went: Overall I think making the color wheel went really well. It was very fun to learn about color and different color schemes. Also I have never used adobe before, it was hard at first but got a lot easier.

Sophomore Semester Reflection 2

This semester in e-Comm we have worked on many different projects. The infographic, greeting cards, and logos were a few of my favorites. We started with the infographic which was a very long process and took the last few weeks in second quarter and the first week of third quarter. During this project one of the hardest things for me was coming up with an idea and graphics for that idea. During this project I learned a lot about organization and how important it in graphic design. Throughout the project I received feedback about fonts and colors: initially I didn't want to change anything but after trying out the colors and size oI changed the color of some of the text and color of the background. For the most part my idea stayed the same throughout the project. In the end I really liked my infographic but I think I could have done more complex graphics to push myself more.  Later this semester we worked on making greeting cards. This project took only two weeks, first we sta...

Music Video

• Embed your work at the top of your blog post under your Title. These past few weeks in video we worked on recreating the Bet on It video from High School Musical 2. As a group we thought this video would be really fun to create and challenging in many ways. We also had a good idea for locations already so we thought it would be do able. We started with pre-production by dividing up the work to be efficient and effective because we wanted to have as much times as we could to film. We also decided Alex was going to act, Josh and Drew we going to mainly do the camera, and Maleah and I were going to help with choreography and making sure the video and our filming was the same and there wasn't anything weird going on. After we had footage we all edited together since we couldn't have everyone at the same time, so we had one person run editing and everyone else helping and we rotated the main editor. As a group I think we worked together really well and dealt with the issues w...
