Color Echo

 

For this exercise, I found an image of colorful lips off of a make-up website and then opened it into Photoshop to create the bottom image.I used the lasso tool to isolate the lips then I took them and put it on a new layer. Then, I used the color echo to get the colors from the lips onto the vertical stripes. This was a strenuous, time consuming process that was at first frustrating but it was worth it in the end product. Up to now, this is the exercise I am most proud of and I also learned the color echo technique.

Echo Color: Hues and Saturation

Original

Hue +62

Saturation -100

 

The top image is the original image I found from the internet. The second photo is the image with the hue adjusted +62 and it turned the red clouds yellow and the light blue water a shade of indigo. Next, the third image is adjusted -100 in saturation and it made the image a gray-scale. I liked the second image the best because of the colors. This was a fairly easy exercise but extremely useful for future projects I will have.

Second Life Prim

Using Second Life in class, I created the object above. I used a cylinder shape, a tie-dye pattern, and a fuchsia color. Although the shape might look simple, it was challenging to create and I felt overwhelmed with the vast amounts of choices available. After my object was created, there were a couple of glitches with the program and the ball was attached to my Second Life character for a day so this picture was hard to take without my character getting in the way of the picture.If i were given more time I would go back and maybe make a more creative shape but overall I am proud of my prim object.

Legibility and text safe areas

I created this general invitation that could be used for anything from a dinner party to anniversary party or any formal event. I played with the contrast and transparency to create an illusion of sun rays shining on the flowers. Then I used an elegant cursive font to compliment the flowers and background. I liked this exercise and I could see an invitation similar to this in a store and it is a useful skill to know.
