Brick Wall Graffiti



I really liked this project also! Displacement maps are fun! first i created the displacement map by making the picture Black and White and then making it have high contrast. Then I saved it and went back to my original pic. After that i got a graffiti font, typed my name, made it the right size, and then i added layer styles to it. I made it look more like graffiti with playing with the stroke and other such things. Then i put on my displacement map after i was satisfied with the text and then i played with the top and bottom blending options until it looked old and like real graffiti.

Country Grunge





This was a really fun project and a neat tutorial. I liked using the different effects with hue, saturation, stroke, inner glow, outer and inner shadow and stuff like that. I had to use a lot of experimentation with how much stroke or stuff to apply to the picture and i also had a slight problem with finding the right gradient. But other wise it was really cool. I also used curves to make the picture have more of a warm and darker glow and i made it stand out more by copying more on top of it.

Now you see me



This was also a fun movie poster tutorial and i really enjoyed this one. I really liked the one that i picked because i liked the fact that it looked old and worn and surreal at the same time. First i downloaded the wrinkled old fabric and set it as the dominant background. Then i added a glow to the middle and gradually put objects into the picture. After i put them in, i used overlay to make them look like they were old and worn too. I placed in the pics and airbrushed erased the top portions of them to make them look like they blended well. Then i added my own special trademark (cat) and made him look like he was fading too. Then i came up with a creative title that reflected the overall image.

Revenge of Teh


I really liked this project. It was really interesting and i wanted to create something unique and funny. This movie probably wouldnt go very far but oh well....Taylor Laughtner draws crowds too. I liked using the liquify tool and making the powerball for the effect of a superhero. I got confused at the part where you take the powerball and move it to the actual picture. thats why that looks messed up. ;]

Brush Comp.



I really liked this project. Even though it was really hard and lengthy, it helped me alot and stuff. I really liked using the flare tool to make the wings, then i duplicated it to make it stronger. Then i also liked playing with the different brush tools to create the different softness and hardness levels of the picture. I also played with the hue and saturation to give it a POP. Now she looks like an egyptian goddess.

Masterpiece


This is the masterpiece i created with the brushes. I used the grass brush, the little glow dot brush, the faint glow dot brush, and the small leaf brush. I also added my cat. I wanted it at first to be an underwater scene but it turned into looking like a stargazing activity. I really like this and it looks very cute and whimsical.
