For this assignment I put a picture of myself on it and got all of the background out of it and typed a invitation for my “graduation”.

For this assignment I made a picture with pictures of me and my family. I decided to put several pictures on my poster and I also put a background and I added text to it. To get my pictures on the blank file I sent pictures from my house to my email and downloaded the pictures from my email onto the adobe photoshop. Then I cropped all the pictures and put them where I wanted them.  

For this assignment I took all of the words and put them on a blank file and changed it to the color orange and put all of the words on it. Then after I had all of the words on the orange file, I put an action picture of myself on the wheaties box picture and the picture was of me jumping off our deck and it was taken around 3 or 4 years ago.

For this assignment I chose the “neon glow type” video.  You use the type tool and type a word in or have a shape and you blur the image a few times and change the blend mode to screen and change the opacity to make it as much glow as you want. I did just the word “glow” and it had a lot of steps but it looks pretty cool.

For this assignment I chose the “creating a sketch from a photo” video. You copy alot of the pictures and you use filter and change the blend mode alot but it is really simple to change your photo to a sketch. It just takes a few steps. The first image is the image I started with and the second image is the image I ended up with after I did all the filter tools and things.

For this assignment I chose the “creating rain” video.  I chose the same picture that I did for the last assignment because it was a picture of a house and you basically apply the wind feature and the blur and then move the transform sideways so it looks like rain.

For this assignment I chose the “cloning 101” video. It was basically like the cloning video I have done before. You just get a picture and replace something. For instance, I took the window out of the first picture.

For this assignment I chose the “creating shapes with text” video. I typed M and it came up as a guy and then used the marquee tool and clicked around the man and then filled the selection to add some more color.

For this assignment, I chose the “make a poster” video.  You use the magnetic lasso tool and then posterize the image so it will look sort of like a poster. It will only posterize the part you have selected with the magnetic tool. The first image the before picture and the second is the after picture.  As you can see I only selected the tree in front.

I chose the “changing photos to painting” video. You get your photo and then go to filter gallery and you can change the settings to make a picture look like a painting. I chose the picture of the mountains and then I just changed the settings so it looks like a painting.
