Photoshop Projects


This week we have been working on Photoshop. For this first image I had to resize the background and add a compass layer. After we added the compass we had to use the magic eraser to get rid of the white background. Then we centered the compass in the middle and put the opacity at  70 percent. After that I typed the word "ONW" in white with 360pt font. The font type is Impact. I centered that and then set the opacity at 60 percent. It sounds easy but, it took me a while to get it done.   







This second project we practiced using the magic wand, hue adjustment, and the clone stamp tool. First I had to open a copy of the butterfly and set my background to white. Then I changed the canvas size. I selected symmetric areas from the wings and used the magic wand and adjusted the hue. I kept doing that until I had all different colors. I then used the clone stamp tools to imitate a fluttering butterfly. Thats it!





This next project took me the longest. I had to open a picture of the school and resize the image. I then had to make a test mask that says "Northwest" in 150pt Impact font. Then when you commit it the text will go away and then the letters will be selected. I did command-shift-I to invert. It selected everything but the letters. Next, I switched to the gradient tool and made a new layer and used the colors black and raven blue. Holding down the shift to constrain the gradient I drew the gradient from top to bottom. Then deselected. On the layer with the gradient I added a layer effect with a 1px white stroke and thats all! 




This last one was fun but, it took a lot of time to complete. I opened the background and had to use the clone stamp tool to get rid of two light posts and a car (that took me the longest). Then opened a picture of a raven and used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the ravens head(this tool is very touchy and messed my picture up a lot) . I copied the raven head and pasted it on the school background. I changed the opacity of the raven. I did the same thing to the school hallway, administration office, and the stairs. All changing the opacity so they would blend. I rearranged the pictures how I liked them and then I was done!

My Personality Type!!

Yesterday and today in e-Comm we took the Myers-Briggs personality test. My personality type is ESTP. ESTP stands for extravert, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. I'm 34% extravert, 1% sensing, 3% thinking, and 9% perceiving. I share a personality type with Donald Trump, Ryan Seacrest, and Taylor Swift. ESTP's are energetic and have a good sense of humor. I think this type relates to me because I'm energetic and I talk a lot. ESTP don't like long boring conversations and I don't like long boring conversations. The description of ESTP relates to me and is spot on. My personality types explains why I'm always trying something new and why I'm involved in so many activities. I'm always doing something to keep me entertained. I get bored easily if I'm not doing anything. I like to keep moving. My personality type explains why I like to be loud on the basketball courts and softball fields and at home. My uncle always complains that I'm ...

I watched a video about a brother who saves his little brother from chocking. I liked how the anchors asked simple questions that could be understood by the little boy and I also liked how they had an emergency response worker on the show because that is how the little boy learned how to save someone from chocking. They used a fake baby to demonstrate how to save someone from chocking and I liked that because you could see a visual representation of how the little boy learned it. I think it would've been better if the mom explained a little more about what happened because it was hard to understand what he was saying at some points. I will try and use visual references so that the audience can have a visual idea of what is going on. I will also keep in mind to write my questions to the level of the person I am interviewing (example: if I am interviewing someone younger make my questions simpler, than if someone who is older).

They story I watched was a little boy who received a special Christmas,  It all started when a little boy took his moms phone and posted a video of himself on his moms Facebook. He then later appeared on Ellen and was interviewed by  Ryan Seacrest and Kris Jenner. He shocked people with his knowledge on dinosaurs.   The anchors brought his toys on the show so he could show them what he knows. The anchors gave them their full attention and that to me made watching this story better. A lot of background information was given as the anchors asked him the 5 W's.  I personally feel they did a good job with the interview. I will take the skill of really interacting and engaging with people for further interviews.Also, adding more background information to set the scene.
