New York


Accenting color affect/add clouds

In my picture I thought it would look cool to accentuate the colors of New Years Eve and the ball that dropped in NYC. I also added clouds to the sky to help accent the color. I accentuated the colors by adding a new layer. Then copy and paste it, then you have to brighten and contrast the colors. To add clouds you have to duplicate the layer then go to edit, render ,add clouds then erase what clouds you don’t want .


radial blur

First I picked a picture I want to use radial blur on. Next I need to isolate the background I did this by using quick mask mode and I made sure to use black and white. Then I copied the section that is masked on to a new layer. Then I went to filter click on blur then went to radial blur. I set the blur method to zoom and the intensity to twenty. Then I was finished.



Graphic Design Week1


For this picture I did magic glow effect. I chose to do magic glow effect on this picture because I thought the basket ball that the two guys are holding would look really cool if it was glowing. I kind of think that it looks like they are holding the sun.to make the picture look that way i changed the brightness and contrast, made the basketball separate from the boys to color it red, then i had to render the lighting effects.

Graphic Design Week 1


In this picture I chose to change the picture . Into a sketch because I thought it would look really cool because of all the lines and how the uniforms looked of the kids in the marching band. I also loved the way the instruments looked in drawing form. To ,ake this photo look this way i had to Desaturate the picture, find edges, change the levels, and make an inverse sketch,
