Graphic Design Sophomore Photoshop Work

My First Sophomore Graphic Design E-Comm Work

       This past week I have sharpened my knowledge, on the ends and outs of editing photos in the Adobe program Adobe Photoshop. The photos below are all of the finished projects I did in Photoshop, organized from my first project to my last. 

     The three photos below, I edited with the tool called the Content  Aware Fill tool. This tool helped me touch up unnecessary spot in each of the photos. All I had to do was make a selection using either the square selection tool and/or the lasso tool. Then I clicked the Content Aware Fill  tool which takes the colors from other parts of the photo around the selection and fills it the spot in.  You can also use this tool to move logos around and remove logos, as shown in the third photo down.      

Now for the photo below, I used the tool called the patch tool. The patch tool was used to remove a logo from the man's shirt. To use the patch tool I had to use the lasso tool to make a tight selection around the logo. Then I had to deselect part of the shirt once it was moved then I used the patch tool once again to remove the remainder of the logo.  

This photo of a model, shown below, was edited by using the clone stamp tool and the Healing brush tool. I used this tool to remove a tag from her coat by using the clone stamp tool. Then once the tag was removed I added texter to the part removed by using the clone stamp tool.  

This photo shown below was edited by using the clone stamp tool and the patch tool. I used this tool to remove a poll that looked like it was sticking out of the man's head.  

The photo pf the little boy was edited by using the spot healing brush. I used the spot healing brush to remove very small specks of dirt from the boy's face. This tool lets you remove very small detailed parts from photos. 

The collage of photos shown below used all of the tools I learned about to follow a guided video on how to build a college of different shots of this girl. I combined all of the tools I described above and watched a step by step video on how to put together this collage. 

This photo was the challenge which combined all of the skills I learned, letting me and my imagination go free editing this man and landscape photos together to make a master piece. 

The photos below are my branding, billboard and flyer photos. I used the skills I talked about in the upper photos to make each of these photos. 

What was My  favorite skill I learned and why will it be valuable in the future? What were my strengths/weaknesses?

My favorite skill I learned had to be the Clone stamp and Patch tool. These tools will help me in clean up some unnessisary marks or mistakes in the future. My strengths had to be that I had some knowledge in how to work photoshop which helped me work through each of the editing videos that helped me edit each photo,(except the challenge there was no video). 

What would I do different? What would I do the same? Why?

I would have liked to have had more time to work on making some of these photos so they look more cleaner edited. I would do the challenge the same because I loved the way it turned out.  

Conclusion 

These projects were very different than I am used to but I feel like most of them were successful. I loved the Challenge that was my favorite part of the whole project.
