Tutorials

1. This is my first tutorial, Creating an Apple. I learned how to use tools like

• the warp tool
• the noise and blur settings
•  the sphere tool
•  the path tool

 It was a little frustrating at first to find where I could get to all the tools but I think the finished product came out well. I am applying this tutorial to a picture, rather than starting from scratch, in my poster in order to make the picture resemble an apple.

 2. The second tutorial was much simpler and allowed me to put a cartoon effect on a photo.
I learned how to use

• different filters
• different artistic effects

I will use this tutorial to help e make the branch I am using match better to my apple.

Art Deco Travel Poster

Description: To create this travel poster I first researched other art deco styled travel posters. After, I chose the destination I wished to represent ad started sketching ideas I had and found some tutorials I thought could help me create the piece I wanted. I then found a few photos to chose from that i could manipulate into my poster. I created my photoshop document and using my tutorial and other knowledge, put the pictures and text together to make the poster

Tutorial: The tutorial I used taught how to give a photo a watercolored effect. It can be found here. To the right is my completed tutorial project. I applied this effect to two photos in my poster to make them blend better into the theme.

Images:Above are the original images I decided to use in my poster. To the left is a picture of the Sydney Opera House and to the right is the bridge that resides nearby.

Final Product: 
Here is my final travel poster to Sydney Australia.

• I used my tutorial for the two pictures as well as some new tools.
•  I used how to use the wave tool to get a slight water effect on the blue beneath the opera house
• I used opacity to create the dark blue border and add slight definition to the opera house
• I learned how to use the rulers to line my pictures up properly
• I learned how to effectively organize layers individually and in folders
• I learned how to use the magic wand tool to subtract from the image
