Photoshop Lessons


Overview

For this project we had to watch several photoshop tutorials on how to use various tools. Some of these tools include Content Aware Fill, Patch Tool, Clone Stamp Tool, Healing Brush Tool, and Spot Healing Brush. I thought these tutorials were a great way to get us used to a unfamiliar software.



Content Aware Fill


Content aware fill allows you to remove small blemishes and unwanted objects. It works best on a simple background that doesn't have a lot of different patterns. In this photo I removed several small blemishes on the brick wall. 

















Patch Tool

The patch tool enables you to select large areas of an image and swap it out with a color, pattern, or texture from another spot on your image. This is useful when you have larger spots or blemishes that content aware fill cant remove. In this image I removed an unwanted graphic from the blue shirt.



                                                                                                                                                                                 












Clone Stamp Tool

The Clone Stamp Tool is used to copy small sections of an image then drop it somewhere else on your image. This can be useful when you remove something and you need to fill in the area with a color or pattern found somewhere else on the image. In this photo I removed a tag on her sleeve and continued the sleeve pattern up her arm with the clone stamp tool. 












                   










Healing Brush/ Spot Healing Brush 


The Healing Brush can be used to select an area then blend it with the rest of the image. The Spot Healing Brush can be used to remove small blemishes. I used the Spot Healing Brush on this boys face to remove dirt speckles.

Logo Project

The Process  I started the process by filing pages in my sketch book with ruff and simple designs. I then narrowed it down to three designs, which I then made a final copy for each. I showed these three designs to Mr. Olsen, and he helped me to chose the best one. I took this design into Adobe Illustrator and started making the final design. I messed around with various angles, colors, and and shapes until I found what looked best for me. Decisions  I wanted a logo that was going to look very sharp and professional so decided to use a an abstract B with a lot of 45 degree angles. I also chose to use a square to contain my logo because it brings the design together and contains it well. I didn't want to use a lot bright colors because I wanted to stick to the simple and professional theme so I chose to us black and grey. Overall I'm very happy with the outcome of my logo.

Typography Project

Typography Project Overview  For our typography project we had to write our name in adobe illustrator and label the different parts. This project was meant to help us understand the different parts of text, and fonts, and it did a good at that. What we Learned   We leaned a variety of text vocabulary such as shoulder, counter, ear, bowl, and many more. It also helped us get more familiar with the program Adobe Illustrator. Overall it was a great learning experience. How Did it go Overall this was a great project that taught us a lot about typography, and Adobe illustrator. It was all so a very fun project, it was very interesting to see what our names were made out of. Overall this was a very fun and educational project.

News Story

News Story: https://docs.google.com/a/students.olatheschools.com/document/d/1eD0dNKpxJI-cJORjMyw6UNbOCLkzu_Zxcv9TVVMs2xs/edit For my news story I chose to convert my finals feature piece into a news piece. I used the inverted pyramid by putting the most important info towards the top and extra info at the bottom. I also used the interview clips in a way that they seem more factual. I didn't really like writing a news piece a much as I thought I would. In my opinion a feature piece allows for  more freedom. I still need to work on staying away from opinions and making the piece more factual. What I would do the same next is put all the important information at the beginning. Overall I thought this was a good writing assignment to introduce us to News
