Rule Of Thirds Top 3


As you can see, I have uploaded three images. These images all have one thing in common: rule of thirds. Rule of thirds is when your eyes is drawn to certain areas of an image. If an image has rule of thirds, it is like having imaginary lines going across and down the picture. It is called the rule of thirds because it divides the image into three small boxes. Most of the time, your eye is drawn to intersecting lines. Each picture varies.

Free Time

This pop art picture I worked on in my free time. :) It's of me and is a picture that Jordan took.

Tools Review

This project may look a little wierd, but it's supposed to. It's called tools review because we had to use everything we have learned and make a final picture. While we made it, we had to write down the steps. I used layer masking, the elliptical marquee tool, quick selection, and a few others. The girl on the right is originally part of the background (the tree). I added the girl on the left, the dog, the water bottle, and the soccer ball. Then, to finish my project, I added the little boys face to the tree.

Kaleidoscope


For this project, we had to choose two images that we liked that we had taken from our previous shooting assignment. I chose to do my gray and white driveway picture (the second photo), and my image of a girl walking down a ramp with bricks and weeds (the first photo). If you look at my earlier post you will see both of the photos. I really like how they both look. We had to go through multiple steps such as flipping, turning, duplicating, and merging. But in the end the final image is really cool!

Top Five (:

This post shows five pitcures that I took for our camera assignment. These are my favorite five that I took. Four of these pictures I took at my house. The only one I didn't take at my house was the one of the person walking down the brick with the weed in the way. That one was taken at the Covenant Upper School. Hope you like them!

Pop Art

This project was all about pop art. In my last post, I put up three images that stood out to me. For my project, I chose to do a picture of my dog. To give it this "comic book" effect, I had to first change the image to black and white. Then I had to scroll through the levels of black the image would show to see which one showed the main points of the picture. Which in this case, it's my dog and the soccer ball. I kept the grass a dark and light green, and added Ben Day dots. Since my dog is black, I had to color him gray in order to keep the pop art feel. Then for the soccer ball, I used two contrasting colors that would stand out. Over all, I really like the look of my picture.

Pop Art Selections




These three images are all pop art. Pop art was created by Roy Lichtenstein. We were supposed to find three pop art images that stood out to us. I chose the soccer ball image because I play soccer and it is my favorite sport. I chose the kiss one because I love the look of a kiss mark. Then I chose the umbrella because it has so many colors and the cars on it make it stand out even more.

Change Looks: Jordan

This project goes along with changing my look. When we took pictures with our partner, we got to chose one of you and your partner to edit. I chose this picture of Jordan because she was posing and standing and it worked with what I had in mind. I put her new background as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Then for her objects I decided to put a purse, because she likes shopping; a chocolate lab, because she loves those kinds of dogs; and then I put a tattoo on her ankle just for fun. Then I switched her to being a blonde. I used the same tools for this image as I did the other.

Changing Looks: Me


In this project, we had to change the look of ourselves. We were required to take picture with a partner, then choose one that we wanted to do. I chose to do a close up in order to change my hair and eyes. We used old tools and new tools to create a new look. We had to have at least three other objects in the picture with us, along with a new background. I chose to put Ian Somerhalder in with me, because I am a huge fan of him. Then for fun I put the dreamworks guy on the "H" in the sign, and a man on a moped on top of the hill. And then there is an eagle flying in the background. I also changed my hair to blonde and my eyes green.

Layer Mask

This project is called layer mask. We recently learned how to use a masking tool. We were supposed to have a landscape or seascape image as our background. Then we had to choose a different sky image and mask it over the background. Then we had to have any tree and add to the picture. After we masked the tree over our background, we had to find three different objects. They could be anything we wanted. Since I did a beach scene I decided to have a beach ball, umbrella, and dolphin.

Magic Wand

For this project, we had a group of shapes, which we had to rearrange into a new picture using the magic wand tool. When I cut out all of my shapes, I decided to make a robot-looking person. You had a choice to make anything you wanted. You could shrink, enlarge, twist, flip, or anything to a shape if you wanted.

Celebrity Hair Change



For this project we had to change a celebrity's hair color. Using different blending tools and techniques, quick selecting, and layering. I chose to do Shakira. I changed her hair color from bright blonde to light golden brown.

Crazy Combo


For this project, we had to create a crazy animal. We had to find images on the internet that had random animal bodies and parts and combine them. I chose to five animals. We had to have a minimum of 8 layers. I chose to have a lion body, horse legs, monkey tail, t-rex head, and pegasus wings. We had to use all the tools and tricks we have been learning in our first week of digital imaging in order to make it look at realistic as possible. With all said and done, I think it looks pretty bizarre.

All About Me

This project was about creating a collage with images of hobbies, likes, and dislikes. We had to have a minimum of 10 images, all cut out and rearranged. We also had to use the few tools we were taught and refine images' edges. We were also required to change our background color.This was our first project for the class!
