Magazine Cover

This is a magazine cover with all the pictures from my vacation to Palm Springs, California. I used one main picture as the background and then the smaller pictures to show the different things you can do in this area. I put a drop shadow on the top pictures in order for them to stand out. I also added text below each one. In addition I added a quote to enhance the look of the magazine. The last thing I did was add a bar code and a price in order for it to look authentic. I really enjoyed putting this together because it took knowledge from the whole year to complete.

Poem in Print

This is poem in a picture. For this assignment I took a picture and created a poem that pertained to the photo. The poem is about my future as a Colorado State Women's soccer player. On the surface it is just about all things life,, but to me it is about the road I'm about to drive on for four years. The next poem is an acrostic poem  about pushing through and breaking through walls. The last poem is an Echo poem. It basically is  a poem about the frustration in the unknown, the future.

Outdoor Macro

This is Outdoor Macro. For these pictures I placed the camera super close to the object and allowed the camera to change settings. Then I placed the the green box on the part I wanted and snapped the picture. This technique is when you don't just get closed you get super close. 

Picture in a Picture

4 pic 1 word

This is inspired by the popular game called four pictures one word. These pictures are all one word with four different meanings. When using this, you choose a homonym.

3-D Photography

Practice:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                                                                            




This is 3-D photography. These are two of the practices I did. How you achieve this effect is taking a picture then slightly move the camera to the left of right. In Photoshop one would stick the second picture on top of the first. Set it slightly off and double click on the top layer. Un-check the red color. Put the glasses on and make necessary adjustments. To finish do basic correction and flatten the image.  

Outside Photos:

These two have the same effects but they where taken outside of class.

Painting with Light

This is a picture of painting with light. To achieve this one must open the shutter and wave light around. This is one that is untouched in Photoshop.

These both are multiple pictures in one. The first one is a tribute to Breast Cancer. The last one was just a fun project to waist time. 

This is one with the pencil effect on Photoshop. 

Motion Blur

This is motion blur. This is a Photoshop technique in which you blur a still picture in the direction of the motion. 

Gaussian Blur

Depth of Field: 

This is using Photoshop to create a maximum and minimum depth of field. In Photoshop one can go to filter, blur, and then Gaussian Blur. From that point one takes the history tool brush to create the depth of field.

0-50-100:

When using this technique it creates a better and more realistic look. The first plan is 100 opacity and flow, the next is 50 opacity and flow, and the last one 0 opacity and flow. This creates a nice even flow.

Comic Book Cover

Color Halftone:

Regular:

The purpose to this project is to create a Comic Book Cover. To create this, I had to get internet images for the "bang", "Pow", and "Wham". In addition, I added the bomb in the background from the internet. I also added the price tag and bar code. Using the text tool I added the issue tittle, speech bubble, volume number, and the tittle. To get the comic book effect I added the color halftone in Photoshop. The second one is with out the color halftone effect.

Indoor Macro: Color Selection

This is still Indoor Macro but with a little twist. I color selected the color of each pencil. This emphasis the colors.

Indoor Macro Photography

Light Box: 

Table with Pillow Lights: 

This is Indoor Macro Photography. The way this type of photography is getting in not just close but ultra close. These can emphasis the texture of an object and sometimes can leave the viewer to guess what it is. "Macro opens a whole new world that we wouldn't ordinary visit." (Rowsam 2015). The first picture is in the light box. The light box allows the light to shine through transparent objects and helps to emphasis the texture. The next three photos are taken on the table with a white even background and pillow lights shinning over the objects. The pillow light gives the soft look to the picture. Each of these pictures where taken ultra close, thus, the success in the Macro Photography genre.  

Photo Restoration

Theses photos where all taken a long time ago. They have been sitting in boxes in a closet. The pictures all needed to be fixed in Photoshop. I used basic correction tools and a lot of clone stamping to fix each one. 

Product Photography: For Fun

I decided to go a step further on this one and put another picture behind the actual image that related to the slogan and the product. The Tiger is in the background and I messed with the opacity to fade it but have it still be noticeable.

Outdoors Product Photography

This is an example of Outdoor Product Photography. I chose to go outside and take picture of my Nike cleats and ball to explore the outdoor type of this project. I used basic editing like the lighting effects to emphasis the products.

Product Photography

Gradient Lighting: 

This is an example of Product Photography. The background has gradient lighting which is traditionally used in advertisements in magazines and on television. The shot is taken straight on to keep a balanced angel on the product.

Light Box: 

These are two examples from the light box. The light box creates an even lighting effect on the product and helps emphasis it. The second picture is still in the light box but there is lighting effects added to the photo. This helps to further enhance the product.
