Photoshop Brushes

For this assignment, we learned more about photoshop and how to use the brushes. I really enjoyed this assignment because I learned to take an ordinary photo and turn it into something more interesting. I had trouble figuring out what I wanted to paint onto my picture, so I just clicked on a random brush and started doodling all over it. I was seriously getting really frustrated but then Ms Miles came by and said that the pink random squiggly line that I had looked good. I was surprised and when I looked at it a little more, I began thinking more into it and seeing that it could be something I could work with. I used pink because it matched my shirt and looked on the color wheel and used a sort of blue-ish green as my other color. I decided to draw another crooked line with that color and then finished it off with a little bit of pink at the bottom.

Even though this assignment was difficult, it was still fun. The project that we did in class helped me a lot because I learned that it helps if you have something touching all the sides. I tried my best on this photo assignment and I think that I did a good job for my first time using brushes!

Original Photo

Soft Lighting

In this photoshop assignment, we had to make our picture and the lighting look softer. I did everything correctly and followed along as the teacher was doing the steps, and although I got confused, my picture turned out good. The process in editing this picture wasn't difficult at all because of the help we got from the website and the teacher. I thought it would look just a bit more lighter on my face, but I can definitely see the difference. There is more of a angelic glow to me and I am much lighter.

Photobooth Assignment

This photo booth assignment was one of my favorites of this semester. I think the reason for that is cause we got to take pictures of ourselves instead of other people. I mean, we're always fooling around on the photo booths anyways! Haha. I took about 20 pictures on the photo booth and it took forever for me to figure out which ones I wanted to use. I chose these four specific pictures because it shows my different personalities. My crazy, ghetto, hippie, and "just Chelsea" sides :) So this assignment was a personal kind of thing as well. Although I had tons of fun taking these pictures, it was SUCH a pain trying to pick which ones I wanted to use. I also had a hard time with photoshopping this and putting it all onto one page. I was confused with how to crop, copy, and paste it. & had trouble with the spacing of it.  But it ended up turning out good! :) Yay!!
