Warm Colors

 Warm colors are colors that seem warm to the eyes. Examples of these colors are red, yellow, orange, and mixes of the three. I emphasized the colors in my photographs by adding warm tint, extra contrast, and pulling up the vibrance.




Words and Brushes

 I downloaded the brushes from several sites, whose links I will put here later.

Watermark



















A watermark is a mark that photographers use to mark their photos to either protect the photos, or just as a protective mark to show that the photo belongs to somebody. I made mine by lining up letters one over another, and was pleased to find that they lined up well.

Elements of Art and Principles of Design - Carter Mountain

 
 For the most part, I used the adjustment brush just to highlight the elements and principles I was trying to show in the pictire

Spooky Image

The tutorial I did was the spooky image tutorial where you replaced part of the person's face with a skull, and yes, it was easier this year because of my extended knowledge of photoshop tools and how to use them.

Create Your Own Project

I chose this project because although a little challenging, it wasn't too far over my head, and I really enjoyed the way it looked. I like the technique used, and hope to use it in the future.

Explore Photography

 From the list I was provided, 5 of the categories of photography I liked were:
 Top: Animals/pets
 Second: Nature
 Third: Black & White
 Fourth: Composition
 Fifth: Stock (Texture)


9/11 Comemoration

I believe we worked really well as a class on this project. It has a touch of each person's style, but not in overly obvious ways, and the mix of minds made for a smooth image with a clear subject. I really liked how we all worked on it, and would possibly like to do something similar in the future.

Balance Collages





The three Balance collages I did were Symmetrical inspirations (top left), asymmetrical about me (bottom left) and circular advertisement, (right). 

Image Review

Using a mix of images, we were assigned to make a collage and use 10 images. I wasn't too challenged, I remembered most of my tools well and even used some in ways I hadn't before. The review was helpful, though, and gave some extra practice.
