Public Service Announcement

This is our fifth Photoshop Project which involved a careful use of gradient mask and saturation.

I honestly love the gradient mask. It makes me feel so "professional" with playing with each image.

I also quite love the saturation and hue adjustments. It makes certain colors stand out. So I naturally used both.

The project was on a "Public Service Announcement" which involved us having to find the images from the internet and using them to our advantage.

As you can see, it's mainly consisted of three images. Earth was blurred out using the gradient mask AND the opacity scale. I also happily played with the colors in the background photo and made it darker to enhance the focus on the top picture.

I can get behind this one, but I honestly wanted to change my PSA to car accident awareness. Not just drinking and driving or texting while driving, but also paying attention to the lights, following the rules, blah blah blah.

I wanted to do that in honor of a friend of a friend of mine who died in a car accident. I was quite bummed out by the news and goodness rest his soul. He'll be missed...

Well, thanks for the time and watch. I hope you like it.

Pretty in Pink

This is our fourth project that utilized the pen tool and more mechanical masking

Okay, the theme was, "Sell this" and we were told it would be directed to the older census, you know? Grandpapas and grandmamas looking to gift their kids something nice? Well I thought since it would have to be something like that, I chose to go with something nice, bright, and simple. Nothing complicated this time.

I have to say, it turned out pretty well and I love this particular design. It's simple, straight to the point, and the plane is the center of attention.

Some people disliked it, which irked me, but I suppose that's what happens when you open yourself to peer criticism.

Enjoy!
