Photoshop Homework #1 - Tutorial Videos

Adobe Photoshop is an image editing application used by professional photographers and designers. Adobe Photoshop allows you to create images, modify images by adding text and effects to images, crop images, and retouch images. Adobe Photoshop is very expensive and comes with a lot of tools, which can be overwhelming to a beginner. Here are three tutorials that you may find beneficial as a beginner to Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop: Basics for Beginners


The tutorial is called Basics for Beginners. The tutorial is approximately 35 minutes. The tutorial is well organized and it explains how to use Photoshop. I like that it provides chapters. For a quick tutorial, it may be a little long. Overall I believe the shadow point tool to be the most difficult one to use for me. The lasso tool may be a simpler one as I have used Photoshop in the past.

Adobe Photoshop Tutorial: Every Tool in the Toolbar Explained and Demonstrated

I found the title of this tutorial very interesting. The tutorial is the longest at 45 minutes. The tutorial explains all the tools in Photoshop and how to use them. The tutorial covers tools that are not used often. If you're looking for a quick how to, this may not be a tutorial for you. Again the shadow point tool is the tool I find the most difficult to use. The lasso tool will be simple to use as I have used Photoshop before.


Photoshop for the Beginner


I found this tutorial to be the most helpful. Of the three tutorials, this tutorial is my favorite. The tutorial shows step-by-step how to manipulate an image while editing a photo in the video. The video goes over the most used tools. This is a step up from the last tutorial. Maybe the shadow point tool won't be so difficult to use after watching the step-by-step in this tutorial.

BW to COLOR Photoshop Project

Image
For the BW to COLOR project, I took one of my high school graduation pictures and using Photoshop, I changed the original picture into a black and white image. I created three different colorized versions by applying three different color palettes from color.adobe.com. From color.adobe.com, I choose the Double-Split Complimentary, Analogous, and Compound color palettes. It took me a total of 8 hours over a couple days to complete the project. My first colorized version follows the Double-Split Complimentary color palette. I chose this color version because I liked the colors blue and purple. Being my first version, I found it challenging to get the colors applied to the image. This version took me the longest; about 4 hours. For this version, I chose to make my hair blue and my jacket purple. For both the hair and jacket, I used Quick Selection Tool. The Quick Selection Tool made it easy to select the hair and jacket. My second colorized version follows the Analogous color palette. I...

Self Portrait and Propaganda Poster Project

Image
The Self Portrait and Propaganda Poster Project had two parts. In Part 1, I took an original picture of myself and used Adobe Illustrator to create a self portrait using the Pen Tool in Illustrator. I chose one of my high school graduation pictures. I chose to create a cartoon image. I found the pen tool a little difficult to use for this project but, I got the hang of it after using it more. The most challenging part was tracing my eyes, glasses, and face.                                                      Original                                           Self-Portrait   In Part 2 of the Self Portrait and Propaganda Poster project, I created a vector illustration using my Self-Portrait and created a Propaganda Poster. I chose to follow the WW...

Photoshop - Tag Brush Art

Raddmoses Crown Symbol   In third grade,  I created an imaginary world filled with dragons and other anthropomorphic beings as a coping mechanism for being bullied at school.  This world has the main faction (the Raddmoses Kingdom) face off against other factions (Confederate Union, Dark Union, The Federation, Dragon Claw, and the Army’s of Gorgola) while also following the story of Iyon and Zouann (the 2 main characters).  Each character is based on a person, emotion, or item from my life.  In sixth grade, I started to put my imaginary world on paper and started writing my book called War of Dragons.  War of Dragons is a Sci-Fi fantasy story about dragons with elemental powers who take down enemies. During the Raddmoses Civil War, Loyalists and loyalist militias would tag the walls of buildings on Confederate Union planets with the War of Dragons Kingdom Seal.  Raddmoses Crown Symbol is the Kingdom seal, the seal for the crown of Raddmoses and a varia...
