My collage

This is a collage which I created, using a series of layer masks and blending modes.

 

 

Dream Typography

 

This was a task set to make our own typography and I found that I wanted to play around with Photoshop a bit and use a range of techniques in my design. The word I decided to use was 'Dream' because there are so many ideas which can relate to this word. When doing this design I learnt how to make the type embossed, and used the technique I used in the skin tutorial with taking the skin texture and placing it on the text, and added a green pattern to my embossed text.


Bike on a street

 

 

This was an collage exercise where I just played around with blending modes, curves and saturations until I was happy with my result.  

Orange in an apple

 

This was a hard but helpful exercise as it required a lot of techniques to get to the final result. New techniques that I learnt while producing this design was using the blend and stamp tool after I had to split the apple to make a gap for the zip. Another is using the brush tool to add shading and shadows to different parts of the image to add detail and make the design look more realistic. 

 

 

Broccoli collage

This collage exercise was a more open task, which involved selecting certain features and transferring them onto a new document. With this task I learned how to use the different range of selection tools.


Colour blending mode

 

This task was another more free exercise to do, the exercise shown me how to use the colour blending mode when colouring in an image and make the colour look realistic.

 

 

Photoshop Makeup

In this exercise I learnt the different techniques to look like makeup, this included using the colour blending mode, using the brush tool and playing with a range of opacities. Another thing I learned was changing the colour of the models hair and t-shirt by selecting the wanted area, and using curves or colour balance to get the colour you want.
