Photoshop Blend Modes

 



This is the Photoshop Blend Modes project that I did. This was a relatively easy project. The only difficult parts of this project were trying to fit 25 faces of me on the screen. However, after some trial and error and cropping some parts of the image, I managed to fit all 25 little images of me on the screen. I like these types of introductory projects because they help you really ease into a new application; in this case, Photoshop. I enjoyed this project and would definitely do it again if I had to. 

Some of the many blend modes that I used were darken, multiply, overlay, hard/soft light, and many others. Darken compares the colors of the blending layer and the base layers and keeps the darker colors. Multiply darkens the layer based on the colors of the layers below it. Overlay uses screen at half strength on colors brighter than 50% gray, and multiply at half strength on colors darker than 50% gray. Hard light combines multiply and screen to create a contrasted effect. Lastly, soft light is similar to overlay, but with less intensity.

Self-portrait in Color Blogger

Image
This is the self portrait in color. I decided to make a piranha plant from Super Mario. The image below this was my inspiration for my work: I didn't want to just copy it completely. So, I decided to put my actual portrait instead of the piranha at the top and bottom right where the pipes are. I decided that as a final touch I would also put a question block from Super Mario. I thought it was a nice touch since there was a bunch of space above the three pipes with my portrait.  After the review, I made some changes to the self-portrait and now it looks like this:  I decided to make the background sky blue because to me it fits with the overall theme of the portrait in color. I added two bricks on the side of the question block because in the Super Mario games you can find two bricks and a question block in the middle in that order. I added coins because they can be found in that order as well. Finally, I added a star on the top of the middle pipe because the star is the best i...

Robot Final

Image
 This is my Robot Final Blogger.  Here is the image of my robot draft: Most of the process of creating this robot wasn't too difficult. I just had to find images online and put them together to make a cool robot. The most difficult part in the creation of this robot was definitely the display on the screen. I had to look for an image of a display on a flat screen tv,  replace the person with my robot, shrink it and make it fit on screen on the old tv. Despite this, it was fun to do this part of the robot project.  This is the image of my robot final:  This part of the project was definitely more difficult compared to creating the draft. I originally wanted to put this root in an underwater cave, but I realized that a laboratory is also a perfectly good setting for my robot. The most difficult part of the project by far was creating a shadow for the robot. The method you showed was in class to create a shadow works, but it is tedious way to do it.  Instead, ...
