Running Against Time

For this image, I merged the three different layers by using the gradient tool. I also had to play with the vibrance of the hourglass in order to make it stand out the most. The photo I used of the runner was taken on a mountain. In the creation of this project, I attempted to convey the feeling that I get during long runs: my feeling is that I have all the time in the world, and nothing can stop me. Any long-distance runner could relate to this feeling, though others who do not run may interpret this image as a person counting down the minutes until he can finally finish. 

Surreal Sport

Alice in Wonderland was the first thing that came to mind when we were assigned to create an article on a surreal sport. Instead of croquet though, I decided to used the flamingoes and hedgehogs in golf. 

Cracked Canvas

Poppies on a cracked canvas is something that I have been wanting to do for a while. I learned how to do this using the Photoshop magazine, provided by my teacher. It was much simpler than I thought, but it was still a great project to work on.

Avatar Dog

This is a continuation of my Avatar project. To do this, I added the Avatar eyes to a dog and make the fur blue. It was simple since I had done something similar before, but it was a new twist on the idea.

Eerie Dancers

This was another product of a Photoshopuser.com tutorial. For this project, I learned how to singe the edges of a photo and make the background look like stone. I decided to make the eerie dancers into cartoons by drawing black over the major lines in the image.

School Advertisement

This project was for an assignment that required us to create an ad for an upcoming school event. I chose to do an advertisement on picture day. It did not require much work, but I had to find a photo of a girl, put her on top of a gradiant background, and create cheesy text.

Photoshopuser.com

This is my first project of the new school year! For this, I decided to take a picture of my friend Annie. With the photo, I experimented with a tutorial from Photoshopuser.com. The tutorial showed me how to make the photo different colors and boost the contrast.
