Ice Cream

Just something I did before the actual assignments, using the desaturation and history tool.

Delete Project

This assignment was one where we were told to use tools, selection tools, and deletion tools to remove something from a picture. I really just looked for something funny to mess with, eventually I found this sumo picture, and I knew it was perfect. After I had successfully removed the sumo on the left, I wanted to do something more, so I added our president. I'm mostly satisfied with my final result, though the picture of Obama was not perfect, there is only a small amount of pictures of people crouching on the internet, much less the president. Next time I'd try to find a better picture for the project. 

Music

For this assignment we were given preset images in one picture. I used photoshop to divy up the images into separate images that I could manipulate. I wanted to use only the things that I liked, while still meeting the assignment requirements. I wanted to make it look fairly clean, with out giving it a boring impression. I think the graffiti backdrop inspired me most of all, with its sprayed, fuzzy appearance, that I applied to the musicians. I'm fairly satisfied with my work, though, looking back, I dont think I would have used the firework-esc brush on the upper part of the work. I think this was a good start to my Photoshop career.
