Pop Art in Photoshop I went through a lot of different design ideas at the beginning of the project. For the first few days, I began working on an entirely different image that I later decided didn't represent Pop Art at all. After deciding that it would be better to start over than to continue trying to fix what I had, I settled on a color scheme consisting of bright colors, although it was more centered on the primary colors.    The requirements fit what I originally wanted: something with shapes and differing brush tools. The use of the dotted filter also enhanced the Pop-Art look that was necessary.  I was inspired by Warhol's artwork. The defined white lines that traced his subjects as well as the recoloring of said subjects were used throughout my image. His work was the main look that I was going for.  The main tools that I used throughout this project were the quick selection tool, the brush tool, and the shape tool. Quick-selecting the subject in

Photoshop Challenge          When I was first assigned the challenge, I knew that I wanted to do something other than masking his jacket into a landscape. I was inspired to include florals and add a modern look to the image. Originally, I wanted to do a black square outline with many different flowers and other nature components coming out of it. After beginning to create the image, I soon realized that my original plan would take me forever.            I started the assignment with the black outline, which took a while to figure out how to make. The square itself took a whole day for me, as well as figuring out how to work photoshop without someone guiding me. While creating the square, I noticed that with all of the floral images I downloaded, it was going to take me forever to individually insert them each into photoshop and edit them to my liking. I settled on the idea of adding a background to the inside of the square and masking it around the man.          To i

Photoshop Tutorials Going into this project, I had very little knowledge of photoshop. I thought that the tutorials wouldn't be too hard, but that turned out to be wrong as I got into the project. I had seen the tools we used in the tutorials before, but only in e9 where we only opened photoshop a few times. The tools weren't too hard to use but the difficulty to use them varied with the prompt. From this assignment, I learned a new set of photoshop skills that will definitely be useful throughout the school year. Content-Aware Fill Through the first set of photoshop tutorials, I learned how to use the content-aware fill tool. I discovered that the tool takes the coloring from it's surroundings and replaces the object you're trying to cover. This first tutorial was the easiest for me to complete, as the lighting previously in the image didn't take up much space. Which, made it easy to get rid of. The Patch Tool Here, I used the patc
