Kaleidoscope

So for this project I go to make a kaleidoscope! You pick an image and move it to the size you would like. Next you move the image over a bit and tilt it. If you want to make the spiral effect make the image a bit smaller when you move it. Then you undo that. Next you hold Command, alt, and shift together and press "T". Then you continue to press the letter T until you are satisfied :D

Painting With Text!

Painting with text!! So I have always wanted to do something like this and I was really happy when I saw this was my next assignment :D I learned how to make a brush out of text and how to scatter it around. I also used the stamp tool to add onto the background wider. Also in the process I learned how to use my keyboard to pull up tools to use. I really learned a lot in this project and Im really happy with how it came out, I hope I get to do it again!! OuO

Calender Review Project

So for this project we learned how to make a calendar cover. I took four pictures and learned how to cut them down by using actions. I also learned how to use actions on text. Actions are super helpful and they help get things done faster :D

Photoshop Actions

So for this project we used actions! I learned how to save an action and how to use it quickly. I have it set so that all I have to do is push on Shift and F6 and then this action shows up. This action uses Auto Contrast, then Auto Color, and lastly Auto Tone.
For this picture I went into the frame area on Actions
and I used the splatter frame :D

Patterns!!

So for this project we learned how to make patterns. First you create a file and give it a background. After you pick a pattern for your brush to be (ex. Snowflake). Then you place it at random, careful not to go over the edges. Next you go to filter, other, and then offset. You set the numbers to half of the size your page is. Then you define the pattern. After that is all done you go onto another file and use the paint tool to fill in your patter. This was super cool and I love how they come out! :D

AFTER!
Everyones dream right? Lots of cute bunnies!! To do this I
used the clone tool and cloned the bunny multiple times ;)
For this one I used the path tool to create a path and
then I stroked it to get the blue color. After that
I used the text tool to add some text ;)


Clip Text!! For this one I found a picture of the TARDIS
and wrote what TARDIS stands for. Then I moved the TARDIS
underneath the words and created a clipping mask ;3


So next I used Blending. I blended 3 pictures to create
this wonderful thing ;) For this one I used Hard Light for both
the TARDIS and The Doctor.
For this beauty I used blending again. I used the
hard light for the TARDIS and Overlay for The Doctor
So for this one I took a picture of a coffee cup and
warped it :D

Elsa and Anna coloring page

This is so cool! So today my teacher told our class to look up coloring pages online and to use the bucket tool to fill it in. Also the image had to have lots of detail. So I love Disney and I decided to do something from Frozen! I found this image and I loed how it looked so I gave it a try. 
To do this I pulled up another picture that was similar to this of Elsa and Anna and by using the eyedropper tool I was abe to save colors to my color swatches. I then used these colors to fill up the coloring page. Some things I did on my own were the light speck in their eyes. I used my eraser to create the white area. I also hand painted the eyeshadow on Elsa's right eye. I also hand did the sparkles on the rim of elsas dress (it looked to boring without it!!) I really enjoyed this project and hope to do something like it again :D It's super easy and lots of fun, so give it a try!!
