Photoshop Essentials Tutorials

I love Photoshop because it brings out the Graphic Arts side in me that I don't use on a daily basis. Anyway, here are a few of the projects I have been working on in the past nine weeks.

1) “Dangerously Awesome” Logo tutorial- This was the first tutorial I completed this quarter. Basically, I created the logo for “Dangerously Awesome” using an image of a fiery explosion. First, I found the image on Google Images. Next, I typed in “Dangerously Awesome” on another Photoshop layer. Lastly, I dragged the text layer into the image layer. This was the final product:

2) Movie Poster tutorial- After my logo for “Dangerously Awesome” was created, I decided to create a custom movie poster for it. Gathering an image of myself and another image of a comedy club, I discovered a tutorial for creating movie posters on photoshopessentials.com. The first important step in creating this poster was to drag the first image (of myself) onto the background image (of the comedy club). Next, I added a layer mask to the combined images and dragged out a black/white gradient between the bottom of my profile image and the top of the comedy club image. Now that the two images were blended, I added a hue/saturation layer and changed the colors of my poster. This was the final product:


3) Professional Poster- Although this wasn’t included as a Photoshop Essentials tutorial, I created it using different PS tools. The background included both the brick wall and the microphone. I added the “Komedy Klub” neon sign (custom-made), myself and a quote I wrote in my movie script. This project took a lot of hard work to complete and included moving images around and centering everything so that the poster would look perfect. This was the final product:

4) Time for Some Logos- I created three separate logos for “Kody’s Komedy.” This was for a marketing assignment and I just had to choose these three designs:
LEFT: The gray background and silver border really gave “Kody’s Komedy” a dark approach. I didn’t really care for it a whole lot. CENTER: “Kody’s Komedy” used the same look as the first logo. However, to give it a more brighter approach, I colored the now circular border bright orange. RIGHT: This was the “Kody’s Komedy” logo I was looking for. I felt that this “reach for the stars” logo would attract more people because of several things: -The blue border and black background (representing the sky/nighttime) -The golden and pale yellow combination for the font (representing the possible color of the moon) -The pretty white stars (to represent the night sky)

5) Ghostly Blur tutorial- Yeah, I know. It’s not Halloween- yet. Anyway, I decided to write my name in a black Photoshop background and colored the text plain white. Honestly, the only tools I used in Photoshop to create this was the color changer, Gaussian and Motion blur effects, and the Hue/Saturation feature. For Hue/Saturation, I gave the text a slimy green color. This was the final product:


6) Color Grid tutorial- My final tutorial from Photoshop Essentials. Along with creating the “Dangerously Awesome” logo, these two tutorials were by far my favorites. First, I created a blank layer for the tutorial and left it plain white. Next, I chose this image to work with:

Turning Photoshop’s Grid feature on was “the next step to success.” After turning the Grid feature on, I colored the lines black using the magic wand tool and holding down the Shift key. Once all of the lines in the grid were bold black, I turned off the Grid feature and deselected the lines. Next, I dragged the image above into the grid layer and placed it in so that all of the image was covered in grid. Now comes the fun part. Using the magic wand tool, I selected certain blocks on the top and colored them white (basically deleting whatever image bits were in those particular blocks). Then, I selected the blocks surrounding the train the guy has his hands in front of and colored them bright red (by the way, all of these were using the Hue/Saturation feature). After that, I brightened the whole entire image (except for the white and red blocks). Lastly, I selected all three of the running trains and gave them old-fashioned darker features to them. This was the final product:

Monologue Thursday: #2 "Problems I Have With Society"

This next piece of material is about some things that I am tired of in the world. In this routine, I give my thoughts on another variety of topics including advertising, people I find annoying, and stupid things that people do these days.

And I’d like to start off with something really stupid that people do. You might see this on busy sidewalks or in restaurants and crowded subways. It’s called “taking a Selfie.” Did we suddenly stoop that low in the world where we suddenly have to take pictures of ourselves doing really stupid things? “I’m in the bathroom brushing my teeth. SELFIE!” Or “My car is spinning at 90 MPH towards a wall. SELFIE!” The worst part of it all is that guys do them too. Why? Are all men suddenly tired of hunting and fishing and they now want to take goofy pictures of themselves with their friends? Ugh, selfies. Just the name sounds feminine. Honestly, I don’t think it should be a trend anymore. Too girly. Kind of like TGI Friday’s. Yeah, you've heard me mention that one before.

Have any of you ever gone to TGI Friday’s? Man, I hate that place. For goodness sake, what’s so special about TGIF? “Thank God it’s Friday” is the name of the restaurant and I think that name is well overused. Know what the name of TGI Friday’s sister is? OCI Monday’s! “Oh Crud it’s Monday!”

Branding. That’s another complaint of mine. Ever notice that some advertisers don’t tell the truth? I honestly believe that if most advertisers were truthful in what they are selling or promoting, consumers would buy more of their pathetic products. Here’s a car slogan for you: “Presenting the New 2015 Piece of Junk!” Doesn't that make a perfect advertisement for a new vehicle? Or how about “Jim’s Cookies: 63 Varieties.” I’d say “Hey Jim. If you can’t make cookies in 62 tries, leave me out of it, man. I’d rather not be a part of your experiment.” See? Tells the truth and moves things along.

This next problem of mine makes me wish I was in Heck right now because that would mean my neighbor Bill would be there too. I really don’t like him! I dislike him not only because of what he has done but also because what he has not done. Like he doesn't chain his dog on a leash and he keeps jumping on me like I am his “buddy.” He licked me to death one day when I was sunbathing! I can’t wait for this dog to finally kill over. But do you know what I hate the most about this idiot? He loves to steal my mail. Why would he do that? I mean, just because my girlfriend gets Victoria’s Secret catalogs in the mail doesn't give him the right to take them. Hmm. So THAT’S why he loves to sneak into my mailbox. But anyway let’s go back to this dope. When he commits this villainous crime, little does he know that the things hanging around my house are not cylindrical bulbs but are security cameras. We have a slideshow of him alone stealing our mail. Now he’s trained his dog to do so as well!! However, the only member of his dysfunctional family who doesn't disturb us is his great uncle who I’m guessing is buried in their front yard. And I know he’s buried there. Besides, does he even know why his dog has a new bone to chew on every day?

Another problem of mine is seniors. Yes, I have respect for senior citizens. Just not the ones who ask me really goofy questions. Like if I was walking through Walmart and some old Looney Tune walks up to me. The problem is that I never know what to say when one of them randomly says to me "I know someone who looks like you". I mean, what are you supposed to say? Oh, well ok....tell em I said hi. I also find it weird when that strange old lady walks up to me in the store and goes "You look just like my grandson." I'm thinking umm is that good or bad? And then I start judging what the grandson might look like based on how the grandma looks. Believe me, it wasn't a pleasant thought. Anyways, just because I look like her grandson doesn't give her the right to talk to me...and touch my hair while saying "he has hair just like yours too." Next thing you know, I’m super creeped out so I walk away. I never even recognize when I look like someone. I'll be out somewhere and be all like....HA! Look at that guy, who does that dork looks like?" And then sadly realize... "OH MY GOSH! That freak looks like me!" Eh....what are you going to do? Once, while shopping in Walmart with my little sister...minding my own business, a senior citizen walked up to me and asked if my little sister was my child. Now I’m thinking aww. That’s disgusting. But just for fun....I said yes to see what she says. Next thing you know, I’m being scolded by this looney tune for being too young to have a kid. Obviously she wasn't. I can see why she thought my sister was my kid. She only looked a little bit like me and she acts like a brat but hey; don't tell her I said that.

Here’s something I think most of you can agree with. Cereal names. There are so many different supermarkets with dumb names for cereal. For example, the popular store Aldi is a bad example of what I am talking about. I must’ve been in the bathroom for too long or something because at some point in my trip to Aldi, Lucky Charms was changed to Marshmallows & Stars. Froot Loops was changed to Fruity Rings. And Frosted Flakes was changed to basically sprinkled powder on a wheat flake. Either way, those names were totally inappropriate for cereal companies. I don’t care what you call them. I swear; all these names make me want to go coo coo for Cocoa Puffs.

Ooh, I’ve got another good complaint: I’m sick and tired of people who make quote marks in the air with their fingers. Isn’t it annoying? They have to use their fingers to talk? Last time I checked, half of the people I know who do this have no idea how to use sign language. Jeez. It’s like “Kody, you’re so weird.” And I say “Bite me.” This is another perfect example of public idiocy.

Have you ever talked to somebody and they have to recite a phone conversation they had a few hours before? Did they ever have to do this? Let me set the scene for you: “So I was talking to my girlfriend. And then she hung up on me. So I hung up on her. She calls me back. So I hang up on her again.” And I told him “Bruno. You don’t have to do this. I think we all understand the concept of the telephone. You pick it up and you talk into it. Oh, excuse me Bruno; incoming call. Hey; it’s for you.”

This last complaint of mine is about commercials. I am so sick of people that bring up the topic of commercials in their conversations. Especially one that I’m involved in. Once again, I’ll set the scene. I’m sitting there, talking to my neighbor (like I actually give a darn what he’s saying). Anyway, he suddenly brings up a political commercial about a Democrat. I STOP HIM IMMEDIATELY. And I say “Hey Bill. If you think you’re so high and mighty why don’t YOU come up with a commercial idea of your own? I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you come up with a commercial of you using my brand new invention: The Finger Fone?” You weirdo.” But back to commercials. I think that the political commercials, false advertising commercials and all of the crappy sitcom commercials need to be cancelled. Especially if the commercial is for reruns of shows from the 1970’s. Besides, don’t you think we should let the audience find out which episode of “Crappy Sitcoms TV” will air tonight?

Monologue Thursday: #1. "Odds And Ends"

This next piece of material is something I call “Odds And Ends” where I ask questions, give a few opinions and tell a few jokes about random topics. To start off, here’s a topic that had me thinking recently: Magazines. Have you ever read them? Well, silly me. EVERYBODY’S had to have read a magazine in their lives. But there are so many magazines that are centered on every day topics:

-Food
-Sports
-Real Estate
-Entertainment
-Music
-Hobbies/Leisure
-Current Events

-Here are the stupid ones:
-Getting hit in the head with a sledgehammer
-Going to jail for reaching into a woman’s purse and trying to steal 25C for a gumball
-Being Robbed
-Walking down the street
-Learning how to drive

I swear there are so many stupid names for magazines.

Here’s a question I have about dogs: Have any of you ever spelled bones in front of your dog? You could be thirty feet away from them and whisper the word “bones.” They’ll hear ya and come charging at you like a bullet. When they plow you down, they’ll start licking the heck out of you wanting a doggy treat. When I say “this is annoying,” I mean it’s annoying when you get dog slobber all over your face. I think that’s a treat in itself.

Another pet question; this time about cats. Have you ever realized that cats don’t accept blame? They could break every piece of fine china in your cabinet and they’ll walk away from it and look like it wasn’t them who broke your 1843 dinnerware. “What’s that? Somebody broke Ma’s plates? Not me. Forget that. I’m a kitty cat. Something broken? Ask the dog.” Dogs accept blame. They’ll look at you like “Oh crap. The cat blamed me again.”

Doctors. Now that’s a good topic to make fun of, eh? Have you ever sat on the butcher paper-covered table in your doctor’s office and you have a pound of salami and a pound of ham with you? So that when you leave, you can wrap it up to go! Also on the topic of doctors, have you ever realized that somewhere in the world, there’s the world’s worst doctor? And to scare the heck out of you all, I bet one of you has an appointment to see him tomorrow!

Hey, let’s go to the candy shop down the street. Eh? Let’s go guys. Ya know what I’m in the mood for? Boxed candy. Hmm, let me see. Ooh, maybe I’ll buy a box of Good ‘N’ Plenty’s. Hey, they taste good. And there are plenty of them in the box. Or about some Laffy Taffy? With how pathetic the jokes are on the wrapper, I think there’s no other name that would be appropriate for this candy than “Taffy.”

Now I’m going to tell you my plans for my new backyard. It’s not boring; don’t get your hopes up. Basically, I’m going to replace all of my yard- with an enormous trampoline. Ah, it’s going to be great. And when I’m outside hanging up my wet laundry, my neighbors will only see my head bobbing up and down. And that’s because my fence is 9 feet tall. And I’m only 5’11’.

A few days ago, I was walking down the street and I saw two guys sitting on the sidewalk. One was eating firecrackers and the other was drinking battery acid. I quickly called 911. Both were arrested; one was charged and eventually the other was left off. Yeah, you’ve got to be careful around that kind of stuff.

Ever wonder how the Mexican Hat Dance was created? Well, two guys named John and Bob were the ones to come up with it. John created the first half. Bob created the other half. If these two never met, the song would only repeat the first half. They were so happy that they went out to celebrate and they met Dippy (name came from his clumsy personality) who created the ending.

"Dangerously Awesome: The Movie"

Kody Brunet is a talented comedian. The world thinks he is a riot!

This Summer, Kody shows the world his true identity.

A world full of Adventure! And Danger!

Join the world as they discover that Kody Brunet is...

Dangerously Awesome!

Coming Summer 2015!


This movie was severely low-budget. I was glad to be given the opportunity to finally become a stand-up comedian through this film I created. I have been working on the script since September 2014 and am very impressed with the final product. Along with my friends, we had a great time filming and everybody in the film got a kick out of my comedy. Before I started writing the script, I knew I needed a theme of comedy to lean back on so that it doesn't look like I'm copying off of other comedians. When you think about it for a moment, Jerry Seinfeld does observational humor, Gabriel Iglesias tells stories, Rodney Dangerfield complained about getting no respect and George Carlin spoke out about all sorts of things that aggravated him. I didn't want to choose any of those themes.

However, as somebody who is on the Autism spectrum, I tend to see the world a little differently than others. DING! LIGHT BULB! I finally figured out my theme. Basically, when I wrote "Dangerously Awesome," I chose some topics of things that I didn't like and, even though I was not complaining about them, I gave my honest opinions on the topics I covered in the show. I came up with some fake but amusing news headlines, honest product and company slogans, and wrote some monologues about "Problems I Have With Society," "Facebook," "The Weather Channel,"Odds And Ends" (kind of the first half of my societal problems), and made some funny comments in the intro and outro of my film.

That wasn't the only part of the movie. The plot for the whole movie is one of the buildings on my school's campus (it is deemed Applied Arts) is being demolished to reconstruct a brand new high-tech building. My friends and I are standing outside of the building at a particularly bad moment- The construction workers are blasting that day. I suddenly realize that my material for my comedy show was left inside the building. As my friends chase after me, I open the door to the building only for a huge explosion to come pounding through the doorway. Nobody was hurt. And when I say nobody, I mean me. At the end of the movie, my friends aren't impressed with what I did. As i run past the camera, my friends run after me hoping I don't cause any more trouble.

So, this was the basic premise for my movie. I really had fun directing and being the main star in the film and my friends had fun as well. At some point, I will be posting the two monologues out of the last 10 monologues of this blog. These particular two will be "Odds And Ends" and "Problems I Have With Society." Just so you can get a feeling of my opinions on a variety of different topics ranging from Doctors and TGI Friday's to Selfies and plans for my new backyard.

Brighten Your Spirits

Rainy days are gloomy. Why not upload something funny to make one's spirits brighter?

Allen Turing



Allen Turing was born in 1912 and grew up to be a very intelligent man. However, he wasn't treated fairly for a few reasons and I feel that might have caused his death.

Allen Turing was a British pioneering computer scientist, cryptanalyst and the man who invented the first computer to decrypt coded German messages during World War II. Additionally, Turing was the one who came up with the Turing Test, an online test he and one of his fellow undergraduate collegues created. At first, Turing and his collegue started to write a chess program for a computer that at the time didn't exist yet. When the computer was created, Turing created the chess program in which he simulated the computer playing chess with other people. In 1952, the program was finally completed and deemed the Turochamp. This chess program eventually lost to Turing's collegue Alick Glennie. Glennie was too clever.

That was one of the many accomplishments Turing had. The biggest accomplishment was of course the computer that helped to decrypt the German's messages. Each message that was decrypted explained where the Germans were going to attack next. Turing successfully decrtypted the Enigma (that was the name of the German machine) and was a hero to all (at the time of WWII). I feel that Turing should have always been a hero. Unfortunately, Turing's location of where the Enigma was decrypted wasn't released until ten years ago in 2005. The location was Bletchley Park in Hut 8. Overall, Turing was a very intelligent individual and he should have been treated a lot better for being so smart and helping the British with the coding machine.

My School/Fun Stuff


Hi. My name is Kody Brunet and I am a grade 12 student at TLC. I love going to school here because there are so many cool things students can do here like use our green screen TLC has for filming movies (something I love to do). Plus, students learn how to use different Adobe and music composition softwares for creating art and music and we even have three Makerbot 3-D printers! TLC is close to my home so I don't have a long bus ride to campus. Overall, I enjoy school and am excited to graduate so I can start a new chapter in my life.

One thing I like to do at school more than anything is writing monologues. Preferably, I enjoy writing stand-up comedy monologues because I have always wanted to become a performer in that area. And recently at school, I have written and completed a full stand-up comedy performance entitled "Dangerously Awesome." I am also creating a movie for it as well as an audio track for people who would rather listen to it. All of this will take place at my school with the use of a video camera, green screen and an audience (which is some of my friends).

Well, this was a little introduction about me, things I enjoy about my school and what my upcoming projects are at school. Mainly, this will be a stand-up comedy blog for viewers to read monologues, listen to my audio track for "Dangerously Awesome" (when it is completed) and view images (yes, there will be images that always relate to my posts).

(BTW, Kman is one of my nicknames and I created this image using Adobe Photoshop).

Monologue Wednesday: "Losing Things"

HEY MIKE! GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS??? IT'S MONOLOGUE WEDNESDAY!! And today's monologue will be about "Losing Things" by one of my favorite comedians of all time George Carlin.


GC: Now this next piece of material is about something I thnk everybody can identify with. It's about losing things. I hate to lose anything. I don't wanna lose anything, because, 'where is it?' See, basically, that's the part that bothers me the most. I'm a practical guy...'Where is it? I just had it.' You know that feeling, 'IT WAS JUST HERE!'"

"Where is it? I don't know. It's gone! That's true.' It's lost!' I know.' Where could it be?' Could be anywhere!' Maybe it'll come back' Maybe, but not yet.' ...It's gone!' That's true...are we gonna' go through this again?'

Where do things go when they're lost? You know what I think? I think there's a big pile of things somewhere. I think there's a big constantly changing pile of things that are lost. You lose something, whoo-pop, it goes to the pile. And then you say, 'Oh look, there it is,' whoowhoowhoowhoowhoowhooph. Right back from the pile. And you didn't even know there was a pile. And where is the pile? In Heaven, of course...has to be in Heaven. That's the first thing that happens when you get to Heaven, They give you back everything you ever lost. That's the whole meaning of Heaven. You get back everything; "Here ya' are, 79 pairs of sunglasses, 212 cigarette lighters, 4,983 ball point pens."

Have you noticed that there are some people, who when they lose something, their first reaction is that it had to be stolen? First thing- "Hey! It was stolen!" It's an ego defense. They can't stand the fact that they might have been stupid enough to have lost something. And even if it's something that nobody would really want that much. "Hey! Who stole my collection of used bandages?! And they also got away with my pocket watch that has a hanky, garden hose and pencil sharpener in it."

You look in the strangest places; d'you ever look in the freezer for your car keys? Hey, you might as well. Why not? They might be in there! Wouldn't wanna pass up a nice obvious place like the freezer, would ya? 'Cause you can talk yourself into it, you can picture them in there, that's what the mind is for...picturing where you left your car keys. You can follow the logic all the way back to the supermarket. "I came outta the supermarket and I had the frozen banana guacamole in my hand. I put it next to me, drove home. When I got out, I picked up the banana guacamole in this hand, I had the car keys in this hand, I put it in the freezer, I probably just put the keys right down next to it. Let's go take a look...AHHH! They're not in there! I coulda sworn I left those keys in the freezer. And HEY!...Who STOLE THE FROZEN BANANA GUACAMOLE?!"

Here's another thing that happens when you're looking for something. Every now and then, you'll go back to where the thing ought to be. You might be out in the garage looking and suddenly you'll go back and open the top drawer- "Whoop. Nope. Not back yet." You're convinced that St. Anthony will bring the keys back while you're in the garage. And if you're looking for your car keys, one obvious place where you have to look six or seven hundred times is your pocket! You will wear out the cloth in your pocket looking because that's where they ought to be.

Of course, those are obvious things...easy things like car keys. Sometimes, an unusual item is missing...like, the couch. You ever come home and the couch is gone?

'Where's the couch!'
'I don't know.'
'It's gone!'
'That's true.'
'Where could it be?'
'Could be anywhere!'
'Maybe it'll come back.'
'Maybe, but not this, no, it's too big actually, nothing over 4 feet ever comes back on it's own.'
'Well it was here this morning.'
'Well of course it was here this morning. There'd be no sense in mentioning the fact that it isn't here now unless it had been here this morning. There'd be no basis for a comparison...'
'Forget this, I'm tired of your malarkey! Why don't you take your logic and go to bed?'
'I can't.'
'Why not?'
'I sleep on the couch.'

Hope you enjoyed!!!!!

Monologue Wednesday: "The Weather Channel"

Hello. I am posting today about something I will be doing on "Kody's Komedy Klub." It is called "Monologue Wednesday." To celebrate Hump Day, every day for a certain amount of time, I will be posting a comedic monologue from me every Wednesday.

Oh yeah. It's Wednesday! So to celebrate the start of "Monologue Wednesday," here's a monologue about "The Weather Channel":

Weather Channel:
Wow, TV’s come a long way; we can watch so many channels now. But I’ll tell ya, I never saw this one coming...

The Weather Channel

When the Weather Channel hit TV, I thought “Riighttt.... People are going to watch a channel... about the weather." Next to watching the perpetual fireplace channel, I can’t think of a more boring concept for a TV program. “Oh no” they say....”people want to watch the weather. In fact they want to watch it so much, we’re going to repeat the same stuff every 20 minutes." Riiighttt....

Know what scares me most about the Weather channel? I’ve started watching it. I did. As bad as that sounds, the great thing about the Weather Channel is not having to follow a story. Cloudy with sunny periods. 60% chance of showers. That’s easy. You can’t get lost in the plot, or confused about who did it, in this story. And there’s that catchy tune that starts every time the ‘Local Forecast’ is coming. I dive in front of the TV when I hear that playing. They talk about the rest of the Country and the world for 20 minutes. Then that Local forecast tune hits and you think... “Hey, we’re on!” “Guys!!!!!!! Come quick! We’re on TV! It’s the LOCAL FORECAST!”

Previously over looked potential channels are now being considered. Like... The Benjamin Moore channel. We can finally tune in to watch paint drying. And The Pet Care channel: -Don’t miss this weeks special- “Flossing your cats teeth.” fun for the whole family! But at least these channels have topics that change a little. The Weather channel's stories are so limited. There’s rain, sun, cloudy, snow and some storms; then you’ve seen it all. After that you’re guaranteed to be watching reruns. So I imagine them, in the board room, trying to come up with other stuff to fill in the time and make the weather entertaining....

So, I hope you enjoyed this monologue. Basically, it sums up my pros and cons of the Weather Channel. Next week's monologue will be a short list of "Honest Slogans." After "Honest Slogans," I will be posting a monologue; the popular "Losing Things" by George Carlin. See ya!

Top 12 Favorite George Carlin Routines

12. Advertising Lullabye (1999)- "Don't forget to come pick up your free gift. A deluxe, pretty, custom-made, handheld, gourmet combination pocket pencil sharpener, garden hose and hanky. It's our way of saying 'thank you.'"

11. Euphemisms (1990)- "Sometime in my life, toliet paper became bathroom tissue, sneakers became running shoes and doctors became medical professionals."

10. A Place For My Stuff (1984)- "That's all your house is. It's a place to keep your stuff so you can go out and get more stuff."

9. Stuff On Cars And Driving (1984)- "Let's go for a drive. Actually, you'll go for a ride, I'll go for a drive."

8. Baseball and Football (1990)- "Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life. Football begins in the fall, when everything is dying."

7. Words (1977)- "On the airlines, they tell you that it's going to be a nonstop flight. WHAT? I would appreciate that my flight stop. Preferably at an airport."

6. Little Things We Share (1992)- "It's just like ice cream throat. You know, when you eat a lot of ice cream and your throat starts to burn? Soon, it goes away. And then what do you do? EAT MORE ICE CREAM! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

5. Dogs And Cats (1982)- "You'll see your cat slam into the sliding glass door and he'll act as if he did that on purpose. But dogs? Dogs aren't that good of an actor. They'll slam into the door and start whimpering. Then, you'll know it was an accident."
