Blog #7 - Photoshop Tutorials




 Link: Tutorial 1

This tutorial showed me more about color adjustments in Photoshop. Through the adjustments menu there are many options available that make changing background colors very easy. The tutorial also briefly showed the difference between a raster image and a smart object layer. The lasso tool was shown as well to demonstrate how to change coloring of a specific part of a layer, which I believe will be very helpful. One part I think will be challenging will be navigating through raster images and the pixels when doing color adjustments because once changed and saved that will be the final outcome.

This tutorial taught me about what layer masks are and how to use them in Photoshop. By using this tool in photoshop it allows for your project to look more professional and adds a better flow to your images. I definitely see layer masks being extremely helpful since they are nondestructive. Watching this tutorial I also learned more about selection and shortcuts to using this tool if I need something done faster. I like how flexible the layer masks are, but one part I think will be challenging with layer masks is playing close attention to detail and ensuring I am hiding or showing all of the parts of the image I want.

This tutorial showed me the world of filters in Photoshop. I never realized how many ways you could alter images so filters will definitely be useful in adding higher detail and creativity to my future projects. I learned more about blurs, quick dodge, camera raw filter, and other filters. I also learned about complex filters which is newer to Photoshop and powered by Artificial Intelligence, so I am very eager to put that filter to the test. One part I think will be challenging with filters is learning how the blend modes work with filters. Since there are several different blend mode options, I would want to make sure I am choosing the best one for my images.

Blog #2 - Internet / World Wide Web / Bluetooth / Wi-Fi

  Internet & World Wide Web The internet has become a crucial part of peoples' everyday lives. The internet is a global network that connects computers and other devices all over the world. This allows for access to almost any information and the ability to communicate with people globally who also have internet connection. This all started in 1973 with computer scientists, Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn. This creation was made to allow computers to communicate through the APRAnet (Advanced Research Projects Agency). Today, the internet is used for e-mail, social media, managing finances, shopping, and much more. On the other hand, the World Wide Web is an information retrieval service of the internet. The creation of the World Wide Web began in 1989 by Tim Berners-lee. The purpose of this creation was to allow for the sharing of information between scientists around the world. Today, the World Wide Web can be accessed through a browser. This then provides a system of linked pages, p...

Blog #18 - Portfolio

  Artist Statement This semester I have had the opportunity to expand my knowledge on Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign. I have been able to learn about many tools and tricks that these platforms offer. Throughout my time in FMX 210 I have taken my knowledge and created several projects. For my final project this semester I have created a portfolio that showcases all the projects I have completed in this course. To create this portfolio, I used InDesign and brought my idea to life. From choosing a color palette, to selecting fonts, I am very pleased with my final project. I am so excited to take what I have learned in this course and apply it in the future. With that being said, enjoy my FMX 210 Final Portfolio!

Blog #14 - Animation

  Artist Statement This week I learned how to create a frame-by-frame animation in Adobe Photoshop. This process started with drawing out my storyboard and deciding where I wanted my story to go. After relaxing on the beach for spring break, I was inspired by the wildlife and knew I wanted to have an animation about crabs. From there I experimented with my frames and layers, rearranged some elements of my story, and made my idea come to life. During this process I was able to combine many different elements such as images, text, shapes, shadows, and even include my personal logo into my animation. Many frames, layers, and editing later I have created my first animation! Finally getting to my final product was so fulfilling to see and I am happy to share, "Beachside Gems of Love", to my blog!  Initial Storyboard
