I like Miranda’s project 7 Self Evaluation because of the work she did in photoshop. It looks very professional and not overdone.

I liked Michelle’s project in photoshop of the rose. It was cool how she made the rose pink and the rest of the picture black and white.

I really enjoyed VisCom this year. I learned alot of new programs such as my favorite, Photoshop. I also met a lot of new people in this class. Thank you Mr. Leduc for everything.

FINAL
I began to make an Xbox 360 with different colors but I realized that if I did that, I wouldn’t be using the skills that I have since that is one of the simplest projects that just about anybody could do.
So, what I did was: I made a video game based on the actual show on MTV called, “Yo Momma”
What I learned: I learned how to make everything fit in the allowed space by not just scaling it, but cropping some parts of the pictures off to make room for the neccesary things.
What I had to overcome : I had to learn how to change the saturation and hue so that the whole project could be same tone and not have a dark part in one place and a light in the other.
My next project will be in photoshop yet again.

In my 6th project I made Dwight Howard look like he was jumping from earth into space to dunk a basketball.

What I learned: How to use the pen tool to cut things out more precisely. This makes it so it’s not as pixelated.

What I did: Made Dwight dunk a ball in outer space.

What I had to overcome: Cutting Dwight out perfectly so the edges don’t look all jagged and pixelated.

My next project will be in photoshop.

So far in my 6th project, I have edited out the audience from the background of the picture. I have begun to put the stars as the background for the outer space kind of look. I will be done in about another day or so.

May 17

In my 6th project, I will be working in photoshop yet again since it’s the best program.

AVERYvsLUISDONEIn my latest project, I decided to add more detail to my original boxing ad. This time, with the help of Mr. LeDuc, I saturated my face to match the body that my head is on. This way, I looked a tanner.

What I did: Made my boxing ad better than the first time I made it.

What I learned: How to add a saturation to someone skin so it matches the body you exchange it with.

What I had to overcome: I had A LOT of troubles with organizing the layers, naming them, and finally editing them. I worked this out by looking at a website that explains all the basics of photoshop.

My next project will be on photoshop.
