Photoshop Task

Our first try on photoshop was not a major success. We did however learn a new skill that will help us in our digi-pack work. This was to be able to use a range of different stamps and colours to create a nice design and also a background layer that could be added to something else to give an effect. The image below is the stamp pattern that we created.

 

To make this design we went online to http://www.brusheezy.com/ and looked at a range of brushes that we can download for free and use on photoshop. We would then download the stamp and try out the different stamps on offer to create the effect we wanted. For the above image we downloaded a leaf stamp, we then changed the colour of the stamps and the opocity of the colour until we thought it would look good. We then layered different stamps on top of each other until we got this effect that we liked the look of.     

 

 

We then used an online tutorial from youtube (video below) that would help us to improve our skills on photoshop and create an itunes inspired giftcard.  

 

 

The above image is our finished itunes card. The tutorial helped us to gain new skills that we may be able to use in our digi-pack and advert. We learnt how to use different layers and how adding different layers and changing how they are seen through another can add an effect that is disired for what is needed. Also the silhouette image on the left of the image was done by having a layer that contained the image of the model with no background colour. We then created another layer that was filled totally black. We then merged the two layers together that created the silhouette effect of the model.   

 

The main idea that we got from the final outcome and watching the tutorial was to just experiment with what we have and if it doesn;t look right try something else. We found that our car image that is in the background didn't look very good, so we got another image and tried changing the opocity of the image  and where it was on the page. We then finally got it in the right place that looked nice to us.

This is the video for the tutorial that we used.
