Surreal Practice Tutorials

We prepared for our surreal project by practicing different techniques we may want to use in our projects. In this tutorial we learned the value of layering textures using blending options to create an atmosphere with dream like qualities.(http://www.photoshop-garden.com/view_tut.php?id=76Credit: Stock: hbrush.com Texture: moonchilde-stock.deviantart.com, 99mockingbirds.chanlu.orgText brush: shyndel.deviantart.com)

I learned that you could put a lot of very different things such as overlays, oppacities, patterns, and colors together and create something very different but not to crazy looking.

We then followed this tutorial found at http://www.voidix.com/eye_manipulation.html to give us ideas and practice combining images, reversing natural laws, transforming objects and using Photoshop to create a realistic surrealistic scene. I really liked the eye come though or out of the wall. I think that it's very cool that photoshop allows us to create thing like this.

graduation

I think that because i used a different picture other than that big Pegasus my cover as a more uniqueness to it. I think that maybe mine had to much going on. I think that it wound have been a tad bit better with less things going on. I think it was easier to use than i first thought. Graphic design allows you to do so much, it was really fun using it although it took a lot of time. Well the combination of words and graphics are the most important aspect of graphing design. I think that you did a great job on instruction for this project.

alternate program: Si Se Puede

I think that I broke up my space well and also I think that I did a very good job on the choose of font and placement. I think that I could have done a little more, my cover is simple so maybe I could have add something more outstanding. It might not seem like this would be the right answer but I struggled with the gradient the most. It was hard getting it where it it is now because I wanted mostly purple but a nice brake though it, so that was the hardest part.
I think I did better on this program because I felt really comfortable and confident with this one.
