Adobe Photoshop Beginner tools



Photoshop Tools in 2 minutes


    This video is a simple overview of the tools in photoshop and it is about two minutes long. The video is really short but the tools seem similar to the ones in Adobe Illustrator. The pen tool, rectangle tool, ellipse tool, magnifying glass tool, and even the paintbrush tool seem reminiscent to the tools in Illustrator, as stated before, and will not be difficult to use again. One tool that seems different is the clone stamp tool which samples a point from the selected area with the Alt or Option key, and click and then you can paint that sample in another area. This tool seems like it will be relatively easy to use as well, probably because we used Illustrator first, and it just does not look difficult to use.

How to Use Adobe Photoshop - Tools Explained



    This video breaks down all of the tools that the creator found that he used the most when working with Photoshop. The creator of the video gives a brief yet very informative rundown on how to use the tools. One tool in particular is the marquee tool which allows you to select and area by just clicking and dragging. You can even then  change the color of that selected are, change the marquee tool itself to a circle for examples. Another tool mentioned is the lasso tool which lets you create an original outline and then you can move that section, that you created, around the canvas. Once again, these seem like fairy easy tools to utilize and seems like it will not be too much trouble to learn how to use all of the tools well. 


Photoshop Beginner Course - Selection Tools



    This video goes over the different selection tools in Adobe Photoshop, and some have already been mentioned in the other videos above, but it is still and informative video. The magic wand tool is mentioned in this video and what it does is it targets the specific objects entirely. It is a powerful tool because with the other selection tools you have to manually draw what you want selected. This seems like it will also be a fairly easy tool to grasp and utilize properly to ensure a great end product.

Final Image: Original Image: Picture taken to be photoshopped: Estimated time: 4 hours          For this project I chose a scene from the movie Knives Out (2019) as it is an amazing movie that I loved when my family and I went to see it in theaters. This took around four hours to complete as there was plenty of adjusting to do with the hues, saturations, and other mechanisms to try to make it as accurate to the environment in the movie scene. While researching the way the clothes were styled from the movie, I learned that Marta, the main character and the character who was in the scene I photoshopped over, was styled in a more comfortable fashion. Going off of the comfort style, I through on more baggy clothes and posed in as similar a way that I could, before snapping the photo I used for the project. My outfit does not match Martas ensemble as closely as I wanted, but that is because I just didn't have any coats, gloves, scarfs, or grey colored clothes on hand.      As mentioned

Business cards

  Business card design 1: Business card design 2: Business card design 3:      For this project I used Adobe InDesign and with the program I was able to create three designs for business cards. The instructions for this project said to use a fake number, email, and website so those placeholder names are there instead of real ones. If this were to be used for a legitimate business then a real number, email, and website would of course be used. Since I have now used multiple Adobe programs by this point, it was relatively easy to create the design for these business cards and use all of the tools available.         For the first business card I wanted to go with a simple and almost sleek look. I made the font more basic and only put my logo on the card, no other designs. For the second business card I wanted to add an almost fun design element, so I used the ellipse tool to create the blue circles and then added a gradient. I think that the idea in hindsight was a good one, but it seems

Autoscopy

  Final Image: Estimated Time: 3.5 hours Original Image Used: Other Images Used For Hands ALL FOLLOWING IMAGES FROM:  Free Stock Photos, Royalty Free Stock Images & Copyright Free Pictures · Pexels Background Image: Images Used to fill "holes": Images Used For "holes":     This project was incredibly difficult to find a topic to go with and be inspired by. I had several ideas in the beginning to go with, but none of them panned out how I wanted them too. This final image was not inspired by anything in particular but it did come from one of my failed autoscopy attempts. I was trying to photoshop one of my eyes onto my hand and make it look like it was coming out of it, and that idea was just not working the way I wanted it to. Then the idea of having a hole in my hand popped into my head and I found a hole design and placed it on my image. Still not satisfied, I got the idea to put in, using the frame tool, some really cool images I found of different designs wh
