Jessica Gonzalez: final post: fair poster

Created working document; 8 inch width, 6 inch height. 72 dpi.

I used the rule of thirds shape to create a layout on my document.

I used a second rule of thirds shape to find the center area for my type in the top third of my document.

I used the paths tool and drew two lines for my text (following the lines on my second grid shape on the top third of my document. After creating my text layers and sizing them to my liking I rasterized and merged the type layers into one layer.

Here is a snap shot of my rule of thirds to get a better idea of what I was trying to explain

(Obviously I ended up changing the title of my fair in the poster because I thought I was going to include the ribbon in my image, which I didn't)

Opened ferris_wheel2.psd

sharpen amount 50, radius 1.0
added a curves adjustment layer moved center point to lower right, to increase vibrancy in color
added a levels adjustment layer, moved right, white, slider toward center to brighten image.
Flatten image and dragged it into working layer. rename layer ferris wheel.

I added a drop shadow to my type layer, with a depth of 5 px and 75% opacity.

On my background layer, I added the clouds filter with the color blue sampled from the sky of the ferris wheel layer.

Opened roundup_ride.psd

sharpen amount 50, radius 1.0
added a curves adjustment layer moved center point to lower right, to increase vibrancy in color
added a levels adjustment layer, moved right, white, slider toward center to brighten image. Rename layer round up.

From bridge, dragged produce.psd to working layer, used the quick selection tool & magnetic lasso tool to select the background, refined edge: 1 px, smooth: 1. Removed background­­ from layer.

Opened candy_stand.psd
Sharpen, Amount 50, radius 1.0
dragged a copy of curves and adjustment layer from roundup_ride.psd.
used CTRK+T and -100%width to flip the layer.
next I used the polygonal lasso tool to selected each of the text area of the image individually, copied each to its own layer and used free transform to flip them, again to place the words on the building so they aren't mirror imaged. I also used the transform tool to skew the vanishing point of the words so they will look natural. my purpose in this was to place the candy stand in the bottom left corner of the image, and have the cropped side of the building at the edge of the image.

I arranged the layers and changed the size till I liked the composition.
Then I removed the background from each layer using the quick selection tool and refined the selection with the refinement mask.

To create a more realistic composition I added lens blur to the background layers:
round up layer > Lens blur, radius 4
ferris wheel layer > lens blur, radius 4

I deleted my rule of thirds shape layers.

Opened pig_show.psd

Removed background with the quick selection refined the edges to selection.
Converted background to layer. Inverse the selection and cut the background. Dragged layer to working document. I followed the same procedure with the sheep.psd and arranged them between the letters in the work fair.

Lastly, I opened the produce.psd and removed the background from the image as i did with the sheep and pig, I followed the same procedure, took the layer into my working document. I resized and duplicated the layer and arranged them one in each corner.

13-final erica wells

I used the Ferris wheel as the background. I changed the size to 6"x8". I used the quick selection tools to cut out the ticket booth, candy stand, pig and sheep. Then I placed everything where I wanted them. I used the history brush tool on the roundup so the ferris wheel would show through. I flipped the pig horizontally so he'd be facing the right way. Then I added the type. Changed the font and size and added the arch text warp.

K Boeckman Final Project - State Fair Poster

I used the roundup, pig, candy stand, ferris wheel, ticket booth, sheep, and produce images for my poster.

1. Roundup - adjusted levels, exposure, and applied the unsharp mask. Selected the roundup, copied, and pasted into my main .psd file. Used the dissolve blending mode.
2. Pig - adjusted levels and exposure and applied unsharp mask. Selected the pig from the image, copied, and pasted into my main .psd file. Hid other layers and performed puppet warp on the pig so that it looked like it was standing on back feet. Also used transform/scale and transform/rotate as needed.
3. Candy stand - adjusted levels and applied unsharp mask. Selected the stand from the image and used edit/copy and edit/paste to bring into my main file. Transformed to scale, and used the normal blending mode.
4. Moved the pig so that it looked like it was standing next to and looking into the candy stand.
   
5. Ferris wheel - adjusted levels and exposure. Selected ferris wheel from image, copied and pasted into main image. Used dissolve blending mode.
6. Ticket booth - adjusted levels and exposure and applied unsharp mask. Selected, copied, and pasted into main file. Transformed to scale. Used normal blending mode.
7. Sheep - Adjusted levels, exposure, curves, and applied unsharp mask. Selected, copied, and pasted into main file, and placed atop ticket booth. Transform/scale. Used normal blending mode. Applied drop shadow and outer glow.
8. Produce/ribbon - Adjusted levels. Selected, copied, and pasted into main file. Transform/scale and transform/rotate. Applied gradient mask using the transparent to foreground gradient mask option.
9. Background layer: used gradient fill, with the foreground and background colors picked from the ferris wheel sky colors using the eyedropper.
10. New layer above background layer: drew vector shape for a foreground fill, and filled it with black. Used dissolve blending mode for the layer.
    
11. New layer. Drew a cone shape, did a pattern fill with the waffle pattern. Applied drop shado and emboss layer styles. Emboss: 72% opacity, chisel soft, 8 px size, 7 px softening, anti-aliased.
12. New layer. Drew a circle with the custom shape tool. Filled it with an off white color. Applied drop shadow and emboss layer styles. (Emboss settings same as for the cone shape layer above.)
    
13. New layer. Type tool, Cooper Black font, orange color, 1px stroke layer style (dark red): list of fair food.
14. New layer. Drew path with pen tool. Used type tool to type "Fill up on Fun at the Fair" on the path. Cooper Black font, red color. Adjusted curve of path and font size until it looked the way I wanted. Added drop shadow, outer glow (yellow), and bevel and emboss (inner bevel, smooth, with yellow highlight and black shadow) layer styles.
15. Hid all the layers except the ferris wheel. Selected the stand and crowd at the bottom of the image. Copied and pasted into a new layer, and moved this selection to the bottom of the image.
    
16. Duplicated the crowd layer, erased the stand from the right, then duplicated five more times. Used these duplicate layers as fill for the bottom of the poster around, behind, and in front of other elements to tie them together.
    

Angelesa Ward - Final

Well here we go. So for the main part of my poster I chose the Roundup Ride as my background, but the image was short. So I created more sky. =) I sampled close to the top of the sky and painted on the background. Then I took the clone stamp and carefully gave it the texture of the rest of the sky. Blur, blur, blur and more blur. I sponged the lights on the ride to make them a little more vibrant in the twilight sky, and then did more blur on the sky. Just cuz.

Next I carefully cut out the top of the ticket booth from that picture and inserted it in the corner. I didn't mess with the lighting because it's obvious they were taken around the same time of day, in the same lighting, here in Fairbanks. I like how it just blends in and looks like it really lives in front of that ride.

Next I grabbed the Ferris wheel image. I at first attempted cutting it out carefully to put behind the Roundup ride, as like a layered ride look, but didn't like how it was turning out. Plus snagging the supports in between the cars was nigh on impossible. So I settled for inserting it in the corner, and ended up liking the small tiled picture effect better. Gave it a drop shadow and moved on.

I wanted to continue with the tiled pictures, so I chose the produce, lamb, and pig and did the same with them.

Next I used the text tool 3 separate times to write in "80th annual" "Tanana Valley State Fair" and "August 5-13, 2011". I added a drop shadow to each but it needed more. I experimented with making the type different colors and didn't think it popped enough. I ended up adding a slight outer glow of hot pink to all of them and I like the final effect. I also sharpened the pig. Forgot til now, hehe.

As far as my decision to leave the sky as it was, not brighten it, but in fact darkening it, I didn't feel right about trying to give it a false sky. This is my favorite fair in the world (I've been to more than a few) and I love going to it. It always is cloudy and rainy (If it's not raining, it's not the fair) and I remember this sky at the fair since my first one in 1984. I believe that is part of the charm, and so it stays.

Hope you like my poster. I had fun in this class learning all about PhotoShop, and seeing the different creative views of my classmates. Thank you. =)

Angelesa Ward - Tips

Tips for using Photoshop:

1. Always always always work on a copy, never the original. If you completely bork it, you can always just close it and go get a new copy.

2. Take better notes of what steps I take, and what settings I use. Especially for the filters, curves, and hue/saturation. Sometimes I spend a lot of time trying to recreate something awesome I did and then messed up.

3. Be patient, but also, be mindful that this is engrossing. Set an alarm to stand up and walk around occasionally, cuz otherwise your knees will scream!

4. Don't be afraid to experiment. There are a TON of different things you can do in this program. I feel like I've only barely scraped the top layer off. I look forward to going back thru the book at my leisure, and playing with different files using their tips. I'm also interested in possibly finding another book with more advanced tips.

5. Save often, but with separate names. I've learned to change the name as I go so that I can go back to previous incarnations. On a similar note, remember the history bar is RIGHT THERE and don't forget to use it.

6. Keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts. I have never had such a fine and acute love for CTL + c, CTL + v, and CTL + x. And my new favorite, CTL + z. <3

7. When experimenting, make layers so you don't screw up previous work.

8. If something is going horribly wrong, walk away. Come back with a fresh eye later and see what can be done to improve matters.

9. Practice! Practice! Practice! Just in the short time of this course I've gotten better at some of the tools. Looking back at what I thought was "good" I cringe. And I'm sure at this time next year, I'll look back to now and cringe. =D

10. Remember that there is more than one kind of selection tool, and that its easy to switch between them. Don't get stuck in one mode and forget that there may be an easier way.

Angelesa Ward - Filters

For the Ferris wheel I dabbled with trying to make it look like a ferris wheel looks like for me at night without my glasses, but Photoshop doesn't have a "blind as a bat" filter. I ended up going with the Brushstrokes filter - Accented Edges. I like how it brings up and highlights the glow from the neon, yet leaves the twilight sky alone for the most part. It's a stylized feel that makes me wish the fair hadn't ended yesterday. =( There's always Palmer, I suppose.












For the locomotive I was trying to find something that would give a feel of being hand drawn/painted, as if this was before colored photographs (despite the number of stars on the flags, shhh!). I experimented with a lot of the different Brushstroke options before settling on Artistic - Rough Pastels. I then tweaked the stroke size and such til I got the feel I was going for. I like that its just smudged enough to give a clear look at the locomotive, but not how many stars are on the flags. =D













For the berries, I wanted a painted feel, but like you might do if you spent the afternoon in the woods painting berries. I again fiddled with a lot of options before settling on one I like. I chose the Artistic - Dry brush filter, and adjusted the brush size to 8, the brush detail to 10, and left the texture at 1. I like the feel of it. If I were able to paint with any kind of skill, I feel this is how I'd approach this subject. No harsh lines, but capturing the color and beauty of the berries in their native environment.

Angelesa Ward - Color Corrections

For this image, the first thing I tried was adding a levels adjustment layer. I used the black eyedropper on the inside of the pants leg on the gentleman on the right, and the white eye dropper alternately on the baby's outfit, and the whitewalls of the tires. On the whole, that made the image significantly better, but I could still see a red cast in the men's faces. I tried using different hues, playing with color saturation, multiplying the layer and going to about 16%, adding a screen at about 22%, etc, and NOTHING looked right to me. I ended up with a mulitplied layer at 16%, because of all the tweaking, it looked the best. I desperately wanted to have them have a rosier look, and I wanted the car to be the true mint green I know it is, but I just couldn't get it to work.

13-Final

Here are the steps for my final project, although not necessarily in this order, I’m just following the order in my “Layers.” I duplicated my background layer, just a habit, and used the Gradient Tool to get the effect you see.

I used the “Blue” ribbon off of the Ribbon.psd file and did some work on it. I took and copied half of the “S” and then flipped it horizontally and vertically to complete the word “State.” I then copied half of the “I” and flipped it vertically to complete that letter. I just copied an “A” and moved it into position, and finalized the word “Fair” by copying an “L” and flipping it vertically to give me the top and side of my “F.” I then took the bottom of my “I,” copied it, flipped it horizontally, and made some size adjustments to give me the lower horizontal line of my “F.” I copied the design on the right side of the ribbon, flipped it around, and extended it down the side. I finished it by adding a Drop Shadow.

I took the Ferris Wheel image, cropped it down, and used the Levels setting to adjust the color. I finalized the image by adding a Drop Shadow to it.

I had taken pictures of some fireworks, so thought I would throw them in since they shoot them off the first night of the fair. I grab three different shots of the fireworks, and then used the Levels setting to get the sky pitch black so that it would blend in with the Gradient background I made.

I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select the tomatoes from the Produce.psd file. There was a piece of the tomato that was missing because the flower was laying over it, so I took a piece of the tomato, copied it, filled in the area that was missing, and then used the Polygonal Lasso Tool to round out the area and make it look good. I placed it on the bottom right of the picture, duplicated that layer, flipped it horizontally, and moved that layer over to the bottom left. I finalized the image by adding a Drop Shadow to it.

I used the Polygonal Lasso Tool to select the area right around the lights and ticket message from the Ticket Booth file and used the Levels setting to correct the color, but couldn’t get the colors “appealing” without “washing” out the lights. So I selected the black border on the inside area, and then used the Levels and Brightness/Contrast to adjust that more. I then used the Transform-Skew setting to change the image to have 90 degree angles. I set the Opacity to 50% and then finalized the image by adding a Drop Shadow to it.

I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select the sheep from the Sheep.psd file. It did a fairly decent job selecting the sheep, but I zoomed in to 800% and with the Polygonal Lasso Tool, cleaned up the edges. I then used the Patch Tool and Clone Stamp to clean up the spots from the saw dust/wood chippings that were on the sheep. I finalized the image by adding a Drop Shadow to it.

I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select the flower from the Produce.psd file. It did a fairly decent job selecting the flower, but I zoomed in to 800% and the Polygonal Lasso Tool, cleaned up the edges. There was one pedal that had the tip folded over, so I copied the tip off of another pedal and pasted it on there; I used the Patch Tool to hide the line where they connected to each other. I then took and selected half of the flower, copied it, and then flipped the copied layer horizontally to make a full flower. There was actually a “missing” pedal after the previous step, so I copied an individual pedal and pasted it in that place. The white center of the flower was not centered after the previous steps, so I copied the white center and moved it so it would be in the middle again. I changed the Opacity to 75% and finalized the image by adding a Drop Shadow to it.

I found a picture of my daughter riding a pony at the fair, so I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select her and the pony, copied it and then pasted it into a new image. From there I used the Polygonal Lasso Tool to clean up the edges. I changed the Opacity to 80% and finalized the image by adding a Drop Shadow to it.

I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select the cotton candy stand from the Cotton_Candy.psd file. It did a fairly decent job selecting the stand, but I zoomed in to 800% and with the Polygonal Lasso Tool, cleaned up the edges.

I had taken a picture of those ducks in that duck “fishing” game and used that as a Clipping Mask under the word Alaska. I then added a Warp Text-Arch to it, and finalized it by adding a Drop Shadow, and Inner and Outer Glow. I added the words “State Fair 2011” and used the Outer Glow and Bevel and Emboss to it.
I finalized the project by adding a 7 point border to the image…

Jessica Gonzalez: Tips

Photoshop tips.

1. Always remember to restore the default preferences

2. Never work off of original file, Remember to save a backup copy.

3. Remember to save consistently while working on files in case of any computer crashes or large errors

4. Always work off of a duplicate of the background layer to easily revert to original or review changes.

5. get familiar with the history brush tool.

6. remember the keyboard shortcuts. Your fingers will thank you!

7. While making selections, The backspace and space bar keys are your friends

8. Learn to love layer masks

a. Black hides active layer

b. white reveals underneath layer

(write that down)

9. get familiar with color mode and resolution. Determine the proper file size and color mode for your intended image use. Remember, online viewing requires less pixels than that of the images to be printed!

10. Calibrate your monitor, (which I haven't done yet)

11. Remember editing jpgs is lossy. When you want to edit your PSD in camera Raw, convert it to a Tiff file instead of a JPG so there is not any resolution lost.

12. Navigate with bridge. Especially when working with RAW files.

For the train I converted it to a smart object. Went into the filter gallery and chose cut out. I changed levels to 7, edge simplicity to 4, and edge fidelity to 3. Then flattened the image.


For the columbine I converted it to a smart object, went into the filter gallery and added accent edges. I changed edge width to 2, edge brightness to 24, and smoothness to 3. I added another filter, rough pastels. I changed stroke length to 20, stroke detail to 9, texture to sandstone, scaling to 62%, relief to 14d and light to top left.



I wanted to do something different to the pink barn. I again changed it to a smart object. Went into the filter gallery and chose grain. I adjusted the intensity to 36, contrast to 40, and grain type to speckle. Then I added another filter, the graphic pen. Changed the stroke length to 15, light/dark balance to 41, and the stroke direction to vertical.

12-2-Tips

1. Never work off of your original file, always make a copy of it, I can’t reiterate this enough. That way if something happens with your work, you can always start over with your original file.

2. Get familiar with Photoshop’s layout, learn the Application Bar, Menu Bar, Options Bar, Tools Panel, and the Panels area.

3. Experiment with all the different filters and their settings, you can drastically change the look of your image with a few quick clicks.

4. Get very familiar with the Layers panel. Learn how you can change the order of items, change blending modes, opacity, and add layer styles.

5. Get to know the History panel, it’s great for going back several steps and looking at the changes you’ve made.

6. Practice selecting items using the various tools like the Quick Selection Tool, Magic Wand, Lasso, Polygonal Lasso, and Magnetic Lasso Tools. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages, so practice to see what works best.

7. Learn how to add words to your picture by using the Type tool, and then play with the Character Panel to see how you can change your lettering.

8. Learn how you can repair your photos by using items like the Healing and Spot Healing Brush Tools, Patch, Red Eye, and Clone Stamp Tools.

9. Use the items under Image on the Menu Bar, such as Levels, Curves, Brightness/Contrast, etc. to enhance your pictures.

10. The list can go on and on, but practice and have fun, Photoshop is a great application for making your pictures something special.

Train
I used the Convert for Smart Filter, then the Diffuse Filter under the Stylize group. I changed the Blending Mode to Vivid Light and set the Opacity at 95%.

Pink Cabin
I first used the Mosaic Tiles filter, changing the default settings slightly, and then added a Grain filter on top of it.

Ferris Wheel
I used the Convert for Smart Filter, then the Wind Filter under the Stylize group, and changed the Blending Mode to Exclusion.

K Boeckman - Photoshop Tips

1. Save a copy of the image you want to edit, and work on the copy. That way, if something goes wrong, you can easily go back to the original image.
2. Make friends with the History Panel--it's a really helpful tool when you're learning techniques, because you can go back a few steps (or more than a few) and start over.
3. Don't be afraid to experiment. If you've duplicated your original image and work only on the copy, you can always recover the original if you need to do so!
4. Practice making selections. There are several different ways of making selections; they each work a little differently, and they each work best for making specific types of selections.
   
5. Learn how to add to and subtract from selections.
6. Learn about layers, and learn how the Layers panel works. Pay attention to which layer is selected in the Layers panel.
   
7. Learn how to make adjustments to your images without permanently altering your image. For example, use adjustment layers instead of making adjustments directly to your image. This way, you can easily go back to your original image and start over, if something doesn't work the way you intended. You can also turn adjustment layers on or off, so that you can see how they're affecting your image and experiment with different effects.
8. Learn how to use the type tool and the Character panel.
9. Spend time learning the basics. For example, familiarize yourself with the Photoshop workspace, learn the differences between bitmap images and vector graphics, and learn about file types and color modes. These details aren't exciting, but the time you spend will definitely pay off.
10. Be diligent and have fun!
    

K Boeckman - PS12 - Filters

Columbine

1. Opened columbine.psd in Photoshop.
2. Renamed the background layer Columbine.
3. Right-clicked on the layer and clicked on "Convert to Smart Object."
4. 1st (bottom) smart filter: Filter, Filter Gallery, Poster Edges, using the following settings:

• edge thickness, 1
• edge intensity, 2
• posterization, 2

5. 2nd (top) filter: Filter, Filter Gallery, Accented Edges, using the following settings:

• edge width, 1
• edge brightness, 22
• smoothness, 3

I experimented with settings until I got an effect I liked. I also tried moving the "poster edges" filter above the "accented edges" filter but decided that I liked the order shown above best. I liked these two filters because together they give the columbine image an effect that looks like a cross between a watercolor and a pastel. I like the detail on the leaves that shows up with these filters, and the sharp contrast between dark and light values.
Locomotive

1. Opened locomotive.psd in Photoshop.
2. Renamed the background layer "Locomotive."
3. Created a duplicate layer.
4. Right-clicked on the duplicate layer, and clicked on "convert to smart object."
5. Used the Filter Gallery to create two smart filters:

• Watercolor filter, using the following settings:

brush detail, 13
shadow intensity, 1
texture, 1

• 2nd, top layer: Texturizer filter, using the following settings:

texture, canvas
scaling, 92%
relief, 4
light, top left.

6. Selected the duplicate, filtered Locomotive layer, and lowered the opacity to 70%.

I liked these filters for the locomotive image because they suited the old fashioned feel of the image.


Ferris Wheel

1. Opened ferris_wheel.psd in Photoshop.
2. Renamed background layer "Ferris Wheel."
3. Right clicked on the layer and clicked on "Convert to Smart Object."
4. Used the Filter Gallery to create two filter layers:

• Ink Outlines (1st, bottom layer), using the following settings:

stroke length, 4
dark intensity, 18
light intensity, 3

• Glowing Outlines (2nd, top layer), using the following settings:

edge width, 2
edge brightness, 5
smoothness, 2

5. Created a new layer.
6. Used the pen tool to draw a path in the top left corner. Typed "Wheeee!!!" on the path.
7. Used the bezier handles to change the shape of the curve, and the Character panel to change the type color, font, size, etc., until the type was where I wanted it to be and it looked right.
