Photoshop projects

In this project I overlaid multiple photos and adjusted the opacity of them to make it look like one big picture. I also used the clone stamp tool to remove light poles and to move grass to cover up cars. I also had to resize pictures to make them fit in the overall picture. Finally I used text types to create giant letters and to wrap them in the photo.
In this project I learned how to use the magic wand to change colors on a symmetrical plane, use the clone stamp tool to create a "moving" effect, and how to trim down an image to make it look nice.

In this project I learned how to edit a background image, place a text wrap on the background and then make that text gradient and fit the picture.

In this project I used the magnetic lasso tool to crop out the raven head and paste it into the original picture, then I had to copy the other pictures, resize them, and put them in place while lowering the opacity levels.

What is Graphic Design?

What is graphic design? Graphic design is a type of art style that is used to make logos, color wheels, and so much more! Graphic design is an outburst of your creativity. When designing something, you can make it as crazy and colorful as you want, or sleek and snazzy. Overall, it is a way of expressing something using colors and shapes, with a creative twist to draw people in.

Font Personality

The font style I got was Archer Hairline. This font describes me as emotional, understated, progressive, and disciplined. I feel like this really describes me because I have all of these traits and use them a lot more than I think. I am constantly showing a variety of emotions, but sometimes can get a little out of hand. Next I am pretty understated, in my opinion. I am a pretty subtle person and am pretty relaxed, but I can be easily overwhelmed by huge tasks or other big events. Then I am very progressive because I am constantly moving forward and I love to explore new ideas and use them in everything I do. Finally I am very disciplined because I am a rule follower and I don't get out of line or out of hand too often.
