People Creations

Using vector art in Adobe Illustrator, I was able to create Rob B., the customer service representative. This was primarily done with tools like ellipses, rectangles, and other polygons.

CD Design

In designing abstracts, we also had to create a CD using the abstract effects that we knew or learned from tutorials. There had to be a Front Cover, an Inside Cover, and a Back Cover. Here it is!



For the back cover, I used the orange abstract design found here (http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Orange-Abstract-Design/21772). Admittedly, I improvised with it a little, so it is not exactly the same. Keeping with the theme of abstract, I made all my songs, CD name, and band name perposely abstract/ambiguous.
















For the inside cover, I used the digital blast tutorial (http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Digital-Blast/23533). along with blending an airplane picture into the background by adjusting the opacity. The names are just made up, but loosely derived from aviation professionals I have had the pleasure to work with.














For the front cover, I used the radio wave tutorial (http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Radio-Waves/10816) and copied it a whole bunch of times. I also used a wind filter on the text, giving the impression that it was "blasted" by the wind. This assignment was a lot of fun.

Star Wars Themed Documents

We all know how much Star Wars means to all of us, and Photoshop is a wonderful medium to have fun with Star Wars in. Everything from creating lightsabres to death stars, Photoshop and Star Wars simply work well together. The lightsabre tutorial can be found under tutorialized.com or by a simple google search.




This I did with a little extra time on my hands. It is me trying to show many of my photoshop skills in one document. Enjoy!
















For the peep wars, you just had to design a picture in photoshop involving these sugar candies called "peeps." The first thing that came to mind for me is "Peep Wars," so here it is!

O RLY Owl

Frontier Airlines gained much fame by painting animals on the tails of all of their airplanes. Following that theme, I tried my hardest to photoshop the "O RLY OWL" onto the tail of a Frontier Airlines airplane. Here is the result! This involved use of the clone stamp, and a lot of work with the free transform tool to get the O RLY owl formatted on here. I love this one! The registration on the Frontier airplanes go N9XXFR, so we went N9ORLY following that theme.

Logo Design

Early on, we needed to create a "Company" that all our photoshop documents would be presented by, a "Production Company" if you will. Building on the airplane theme again, I chose the name Empennage Productions. Empennage is the tail section of the airplane, where most of the control surfaces are.

Dick of the Dead

Many of us have different opinions about the 46th Vice President of the United States. However, I think we can all agree that he is at least 1/10 zombie if not more. So here is my interpretation of that, using the Shaun of the Dead movie poster.

Self portrait Effects

When I had some extra time to play around in Photoshop, I decided to use some "filters" or "effects" on pictures of myself. There were many different results, and here a few of them!




For this first one, I used the filters known as "poster edges" and "cutout" in order to create this cartoon photo of myself. i really like how it turned out!
















This is a filter known as "glowing edges." It has a short of neon effect, and it is quite nice. It can cancel out a lot of the colors around it though.


































These two photos are just me using threshold with various amounts of contrast in there. It is fun to change yourself into a black and white image like that. By the way, the other pilot is my mentor, Captain Glenn.
