playing w/ photoshop [:

Playing with Photoshop was the title of this project, we had to take a picture of ourself and add things that Ms. Miles wanted us to put. I don't really like taking pictures, so I just did a funny one :) It was required that we don't put the picture of us in the middle, so I put mine to the side. Ms. Miles wanted us to pick a letter from our name & add it to our picture; I picked "J" of course becase that is the first letter of my name. Secondly, we had to put a number; I picked three b/c it is my favorite. Thirdly, we had to add two filter effects to our photo. I used the colored pencils effect (i think), it made the background look more cool. And I also used the grain effect for the layer of me. I used three different layers: 1) the background layer. 2) the photo of me layer. 3) the layer for the number & letter. Overall, I am happy w/ the way my work came out. I now know how to work w/ photoshop more. I am excited to do another task like this!

TEEN VOGUE: Ms. Miles assigned her photography 1-2 class a Fashion assignment. In my group was Israel, Bianca, and I. I decided to use Bianca as my model & her pictures came out BEAUTIFUL! She looks very pretty :) I decided not to use the strobe light because I wanted to use the outdoors as my background. For the picture that has Bianca posing with the tree, I wished I worked out better lighting. However, she still came out pretty. When it came to editing these photo, I wanted to do something that magazines usually do. They add a description of the clothing and state its price. In the end, I like how everything turned out.
