Water Ford Fiesta Poster




I felt that all three of my Ford Fiesta posters were pretty similar, but all had different landscapes and backgrounds. I liked all three of them, but the Water Ford Fiesta Poster was my favourite. I feel this way because the colour blue is used a lot in this poster, but it is used in many different ways. This poster also has a unique colour scheme. It is dark at the top, lighter in the middle, and dark again at the bottom. I also really like the curved horizon that divides the bottom dark from the lighter middle and how the top is light on the outside, but darker in the middle. I really like how in this poster the car is in a great spot to be noticed, but it is not so big that it takes away from the beautiful landscape like the Sunny Ford Fiesta Poster does a little bit. That is also one of the reasons why I rejected that poster as well as because it does not use enough of one colour like it should. Yellow is the main colour, but it is not as dominant as it should be. I sadly had to reject the Forest Ford Fiesta Poster. I did not want to and I consider it a close second best. The car did not stand out quite enough in that poster and that is why I had to put it slightly behind. Other than that one reason for putting the Water Ford Fiesta Poster ahead, I really like the colour scheme in this poster and I also like the shine that comes out of the forest onto the car. Lastly, the photoshop effects used on the background of the water and forest posters really make the posters look more unique, but they also still look realistic.

A Complete Dream Picture



This was the hardest picture to make because it had a bit of everything in it. First, I put my head on Hedo Turkoglu's body and you can find out how I did that by checking my head on Jose's body. The only thing different this time was that I cut out Hedo's head because it was a lot bigger than mine and I didn't want it sticking out and I also used the blur tool to blend the the colours between the upper neck and the lower neck together. After this, I put a beach background behind me, but instead of putting me in the background; I put the background behind me. This is just moving the background instead of moving the picture. I also used different features in the filter tab to make the background glow and look slightly distorted. Finally, I used the stamp/brush tool to add that big basketball shadow on the background layer. This picture is a reflection on everything I have learned in Photoshop.

Homer's Dream


This one was one of the harder ones to make. I first found a picture of Homer Simpson drooling and put it in Photoshop. I then did the same with a picture of a doughnut. With the doughnut picture, I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut the doughnut out and made it a stamp by going to edit; define brush preset. Using the stamp tool, I stamped 4 doughnuts going into his mouth. After that, I used the magic wand tool this time to cut Homer out and I then created a new, purple, backround layer and sliped that layer underneath the picture. That is what I did to create this photo.

A Day at the Beach


This picture wasn't too hard to make and was similar to the last one. I first found a picture of a beach and put on Photoshop with a picture of myself. I then deleted the background of my picture and slid this new one. After that, I changed the layers to make me the second layer and the beach is the first layer. This is how I made this picture.

Can Dwight Dunk Over Me?



Creating this image was a bit more tricky than the last one. For this image, I first put this picture of Dwight Howard in photoshop. I then took a picture of myself sitting in a chair looking up. I also had to cut myself out of that picture using the magnetic lasso tool and I moved myself into this picture. I then placed myself under Dwight and resized my self using free transform to make myself smaller. That was what I did for this picture.

Nick's Head on Jose's Body


It was not too hard to create this picture in Photoshop. All I did was take a picture of myself in Photo Booth, which I uploaded to Photoshop. I then found a good picture of Jose Calderon and uploaded that to Photoshop. When I had both pictures, I used the magnetic lasso tool to take my head off of my body and I then put it above Jose’s neck. I used the free transform tool as well to resize my head to make it fit on Jose’s body. That was all I did to make this picture.
