Use Alternate Energy

I created this image to promote the use of alternate energy. In my case I created an image that represents how many more light bulbs you would use instead of one fluorescent light bulb. I cut out
and combined pictures of light bulbs
using color range. I then added text
to a light bulb "R.I.P" Also put a sign
that means don't. Then I used paths
to trace the outside of that light
bulb. Added text. Rectangle select
tool was used to make and "=" sign.
GO GREEN!

Anti Advertisement

This is what happens when you drink Coca Cola. To make this picture I reflected a picture of a female choking on delicious soda. I then listed the facts about how unhealthy Coca Cola is. I also individually applied a gradient to the two pictures. I created a custom brush of a drop of soda. I then individually applied it to the mouth of the struggling woman.

"The Hangover" Movie Poster


The assignment was to create movie poster for a movie I had watched, I did just that. I used the movie "The Hangover". I created this image by choosing a background and adding characters from this movie into the scene on different layers. For the characters I tweaked the brightness and contrast and in one layer I played with the curves. I used a mask for one character because it seemed easier for me to do so. I had to put him behind some stuff in the background. I removed a shelf from the background using the patch tool, clone stamp tool and the healing brush tool. I put the name of the movie and put a glow around it. I then took out the poster information from the actual poster. Now it looks like a real poster. :)

Visual Pun


I chose a picture of our previous president, George Bush. I made the pun "meat head" using his picture. I used a picture of meat for this pun. It was copied twice. On the first one I selected his eyes, nose, and mouth and created a mask. Few tweaks and it was done. I made it more transparent so that we can see his face. The second layer I chose the outside of his face, tweaked it and made it less transparent. That is how I got the desired effect of my visual pun.

Hot Head


My view of the doctor's office

I used several different images and layers to make this picture. I used some filters on the hands and the poster. On the hands I used hard light to make them look real and as if someone was really there. For the we come in peace poster I used the screen filter to remove black from the layer and it looks like its really on the wall.

Save the Polar Bears



Polar bears have no choice. Animals like them are becoming endangered. The fresh water I drank made me think of the inhibiters of the salty waters and glaciers. Polar bears have no choice, no habitat.

Bust A Move

















I took 4 break dancers performing their best moves. I found a nice background to suit their skills. I then picked the cannel with the most contrast from each picture. I then shaded the people in and made it so that they turned out black. It was easy to select them that way by pressing load channels as a selection. Then all I had to do was inverse the people's selection. I cut them out and pasted them on my background. I think it came out pretty well.
