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:
