Creating a Flash Drive

I created a realistic flash drive in adobe illustrator. We used different shapes for the outline of the flash drive. I made the body is a rectangle and a eclipse on the bottom. We used unite to made it so that the eclipse wouldn't be visible. The gradient makes the flash drive look realistic. This task was made of of only shapes and gradient.  

ADD A SOFT FOCUS EFFECT to make a portrait glow

We had to add soft effect to a face. I choose a babies face to look softer. We used clipping mask and gauissan blur before adding the effect. The clothing is made to look soft.

Using a Quick Mask to make a detailed selection

We had to zoom in so that we could highlight the region we were affecting. We used the brush tool to pick the area. We first made the photo go into quick mask. The effect is on the dinosaurs on the bottom left corner. The quick mask made it more noticeable. We changed from white and black to remove anything we didn't want to be affected by quick mask. In the end, we turned off quick mask and selected inverse to see how the quick mask affected the place where I used it.

Using SMART FILTERS in Photoshop for dynamic adjustments.

We instructed to make a photo with motion blur. We used a motion blur filter to make the background look as it does. We used the brush tool on what we didn't want to be blurred. The smart filters made it possible to make the dinosaur have no blur. We had to change the color to black so the dinosaur was more noticeable.

Painted Look on a Face

This is a photo with a painted on photoshop. I used the changing the layer setting and using erase tool around the edges. The flag is the of the Dominican Republic. I used the smudge tool around the edges to make it contour in the right places.

Paint Effect for a Flag with Brick

We used a paint effect to make this. The flag was made to look as if it were painted on a brick wall. We had to change layer to hard light to make it visible from behind the layer. This was a quick and easy practice for my first try.

Halloween Project

We had to make something for Halloween. I chose to make a scary photo instead of a pumpkin. The filter I used was clouds. I added different type of blending to make it look this dark. The text was suppose to be scary text, but I could make it work so I just made this.
