Final Project Photoshop

What I did for my final project was make an attractive girl into a zombie. This is the girl I chose and here she is before I start photoshopping.

I used this photo for her eyes and parts of her body.

I used this photo as a background.

I used this for her skin.

I used this just for a finishing touch, a scar on her face.

And this is the final product of my work. Not the best I have to admit, mostly because it doesn't resemble the original girl much, but with the time I had, I can't complain to much.

Final Project Illustrator

 

This is my rough sketch of my final project. It's called the sharingan, which comes from the anime Naruto. It says betrayal because to gain the full power of the sharingan, you must kill the person you love most.

This was about half way to my finished project. Originally I wanted to keep the essence f the original sharingan by making the prime colours red and black, but I also wanted to put a bit of my own twist on it. At this point it sort of resembles an eye, but there was still much editing to do.

This is the final product for what I've been working on. I added a few tweaks to the eye to make it more appealing and more realistic (or at least as much as I could). I say I did a acceptable job with making my sharingan and it was quite fun to make.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 Five Things I've Learned

Five things I've learned:
- To use gradient, press the box at the right that says gradient, click the box inside of the gradient window, and then you can move the gradient around to your liking when you press the gradient button on the left.
- You can reverse the gradient with the gradient reverse button inside of the gradient window.
- You can change the colour by selecting the object your that is gradient, and then using the swatches to change the colour to your liking.
- Using the grid inside of the gradient, you can alter the gradient to make it look more appealing. Just move around some points and the gradient will morph depending on how you control the grid.

CS5 Five Things I've Learned

5 things I've learned:
- To draw things such as a triangle, click the three spots where the edge will be to create it, and then click it in by click the edges again.
- To create curves, click, hold and drag the handles to do so, to take them away click the starting point of your line.
- If you want to make an object or something, if you can apply it, you could use the reflect tool to save time, Just draw half of the object, and reflect it to the other side of it.

CS5 5 Things I've Learned

 Five things I've learned:
- You care able to create a perfect square and circle if you hold shift while expanding the shape, you can also move it if you hold spacebar.
- If you use the arrow keys can change the type of shape (such as a 3 or 4 pointed star). This also works if you want to create bigger swirls and with the gird making.

First 5 things learned in CS5

CS5 in my opinion seems like an easier program to get your projects done, rather than photoshop.
- not pixel based so everything looks clear no matter the magnification.
- you can do many things on one layer compared to doing many different thing to each layer then adding them in.

CS4 to CS5 Comparison

CS5 contains much more features, but the two I'm going to talk about is the multiple art board enhancements. Each art has its own ruler and you can now organize your art work with the art board tab/window.  The other is the new web design features. This gives you a pixel grid where you can adjust the pixels of your image with the grid to make it more sharp.
