week one

For the first project, I googled my name to find images that represent me. I chose the cassette tape and the guitar because I love music; it has always been a large part of my life. When I created this image, I didn't really know what I was doing with photoshop, so it didn't turn out the way that I had imagined it would. Honestly I'm not sure what tools I used to create this.

Kayaking Montage

Montage Project:

Kayaking is an activity that my family and I have gotten into this past summer and greatly enjoy. To me, kayaking is a relaxing experience that allows for family bonding as well as an escape from the chaos of everyday life

I created this image by layering a transparent photo of the river with over banking trees ontop of the image of the two kayaks on shore. I then created a mirrored pattern along the bottom using a photo of lined up paddles. Once the pattern was completed, I used the eraser tool to take to sky out of the image leaving just the paddles emerging into the other two images.

This was the editing project to create an image completely different from the original. I had no idea what to do with photoshop at this point so I just changed the filter and colors until it looked really trippy.
