Advertisement_for_LittleMexico

                This is my ad for my taco company named "Little Mexico." My ad is mostly typography and humor that is intended for a teenage or adult audience. I used gray on the words that were not very important such as in "THE" because nobody cares about those simply words. In other words I used colors such as in "NEW" the word "new" usually stands for something good and I made it bigger and a different color simply to attract attention to it. The next part of the sentence I used the bottom part of the W to start it off as my A so it could say "AND." The next word uses periods to create suspense, but it is still not a very important word. Now the Tacos Machos is the main product being sold, and since the name has twelve letters I just simply used the three Mexican colors and divided by three so every four letters is a different color and that was to attract even more attention. The next sentence says "Simply because she like them." it is referring that the baby girl likes the Tacos Machos and that sounds convincing due to the fact that babies do not lie. The next sentence is in white to point out what company owns the Tacos Machos. The last few sentences in gray and smaller font are the listed "side effects" which are written in Spanish just to create some humor among Spanish speakers.

               Last but not least is the baby effects. The baby was originally placed there to create a cuteness effect among females. The baby has a dodge tool effect on her arms and eyes to brighten up her skin and add even more cuteness. The baby was also added a burn tool effect to give her more shadows so she would look more fierce. There is also this "light" around the baby so the reader's attention can be directed towards the baby. The truly last element of this ad is the logo in the bottom right corner which is just there to say "This is the Little Mexico" company ad."

"Bleeding Statue"

This is the outcome of all my hard work and even though it is not complete it is a master piece all by itself. The actual tutorial was hard to understand and I admit I couldn't work as fast as I should have so if I could do one thing over it would be ask more questions to my classmates.

Contrast Projecct

This is the Final image of my work.
This is the text tutorial:

         The first thing I did was make a stamp copy of the background (Charlie in this case.) The I did a black vector mask and filled his eyes with white paint on about 25% opacity and changed the blend mode to screen. Later I made another stamp copy of layer 1 and desaturated the image and the changed the blend mode to hard light to sharpen charlie. I repeated that step except I made a high pass instead of desaturated and also made a black vector mask to make his facial hair look better. I made another stamped copy which had a blend mode of multiply and made a white vector mask so to fix his hair a little. After that I made another stamp copy and desaturated the image while also reducing brightness and increasing contrast;then I made a black vector mask so I could fix his facial hair yet again.(blend mode still hard light) I made another stamp copy but added a Gaussian blur effect and changed the blend mode to hard light.

 As for the letters I made then in another document following the tutorial steps and then just simply trasnlated them to the charlie psd file.

Grunge

For this assignment I made a grunge effect on the old man. As you can see the top picture is the original and the bottom picture is the more aggressive version of the old man after the grunge.
       One of the things I did most was make a stamp copy of the old man several times which just saves time. I also made vector mask and used the high pass effect to add more sharpening to the old man. I also changed up the brightness just a bit to make him look like more of a threat. If  I could change one thing about this at this moment it would be the beard color because it looks a little out of place to me.

WhiteGuyHighPass

The first thing I did was duplicate the layer and added a high pass to about 500 pixels. Later I changed the blend mode to hard light. Then I copied the new layer I made (the first copy) and then copied it again and changed the opacity to about 55%. Later I added a new layer and set it to hard light and filled it with 50% gray. The last few steps was adding 2% of noise with gaussian and monochromatic checked in and the last step was ti desaturate the image to about -26.
In conclusion this is a white guy who looks even better due to Photoshop.

Ipod

This beautiful work of art was made by an extremely brilliant mind. The brilliant mind took a picture of himself and filled himself with black color and gave himself an I pod for no reason at all. Then he added a green back ground using the paint bucket tool. Later he made a layer and placed it in front of the background layer and behind himself so he would have a fun, beautiful background.

This might be my worst attempt in Photoshop but, it is still my master piece by far. I used scattering within the butterflies. Opacity within the grass and my own drawing was a Pikachu. The dual tone was in the grass as well since it was originally feathers, but I combined it with another brush to create grass. If I could change anything it would be everything.
