Lab 20 : Puppet Warp

  The last and final Laboratory experiment for the 1st marking Period of the Spring term was the Puppet Warp.

 The Puppet warp features basically allows you to select parts of the image and warp it so to say or extend it to your liking.

 I chose to warp a Starfish and make it have 7 legs instead of the usual 5.




Project 8 Brochure : Bronx Zoo Brochure


 A fortnight ago Ms. Ramirez announced that we would be doing a Brochure and not some picture, but a real brochure that people would see and feel in their hands.


     To start us off Ms.Ramirez assigned us each a group of usually 4 to 5 people. I was placed in a Group with Sean Patrick, Ashley Cruz and Ashley Sequeira. After careful deliberation we chose our roles with my being the Manager, Sean being the Designer, Ashley S being the Secretary and with finally Ashley C being the Researcher. We then decided our Brochure was going to be about the Bronx Zoo. Sean and the two Ashley's came up with the layout of the Brochure. Our roles were quite simple in this Sean did most of the Design, the two Ashley's provided pictures and information for him and I kept everything in check to make sure no one goes offtrack, I also provided quite a bit of Proofreading to make sure every word and sentence makes complete sense and compliments each other.

Overall, I learned quite a few things from this Project especially Adobe InDesign and how to use it and make two sided brochures on it and what not, I got to know more about my teammates and how other groups made their Brochures, to be frank I am quite satisfied with our project and would have not wished to be placed in any other group.

Lab 8 : Vector Shapes

Lab 8 was a Laboratory experiment about different vector shapes. 

First I made a 30 boxes by using the single row and single column marquee tool and filled them in using a color. Then for each boxes I used a different shape and a different color for each shape. This was a very interesting Lab as it taught us how to use the single marquee tools and how to apply them practically. To top it off I put my name in the little corner on the bottom right.1

Lab 4 : Image Adjustments Part 2


 Lab 4 : Image Adjustments Part 2 was a very Lab to do as it let me choose any picture I wanted and play around with it. Our Goal for this project was to choose any object and make copies of it  and also change the color balances,saturation and hue of each image. I did exactly that and choose a sports car called the Lamborghini Veneo. In addition to learning the different color options of Adobe Photoshop it was really fun seeing how the colors changed right infront of my eyes. I finished this project with my name in the Middle on a white background where the 4 cars are.

Lab 3 : Image Adjustments

Hello,

  In this Lab , we had the pleasure of receiving an image of a Dog and then were told to duplicate it and change the color/saturation of each dog in Adobe Photoshop. First I had to make 2 copies of the original image , so one for each dog and 3 dogs in total. Then i selected the first dog and copied it onto the rest of the Image. After that I only had to select each layer/dog and changed the color/saturation by going to image adjustments. The tools required for this lab were the Quick Selection tool, the magnetic lasso and the layer tool.

Lab 2 : Melon Head

In this extremely interesting Lab, I was given a picture of an assortment of vegetables and fruits and was told to make them into a type of melon head using the selection tools.

In this Lab i used the magic wand for some small areas and the quick selection tools to select the big areas of the fruits and finally the lasso tool for some correction. I made My Melon Head like a French Chef with a French Chef Hat and a big nose and two ears and a type of body with the watermelon , I also put my name and the lab number using the text tools and a big font to make it more visible. 

 Overall, I am pretty satisfied with my creation and I hope i can create more things like this in the future.

The Selection tools in Adobe Photoshop


1. The first selection tool you will find in Adobe Photoshop is the Lasso tool which allows you to draw completely in free hand.

2.  To make selections in Adobe Photoshop, you have to first make a new background layer and then select the part of the image and go around the edges until you have a perfect selection.

3. Now if you want to select the whole image , instead of using the magic wand tool which will take a lot of time to select the whole image you can use the quick selection tool which will select the whole image for you
