Layers Project Winners

Congratulations to the Layers Project Winners!  You all did an awesome job.

My Hardest Project to date

Taking 4 different photos and creating a family photo.  I was only able to do this because all the photos were taken in the same light.  The blond boy in the finished photo is actually pieced together using parts of him from several different photos--one of his arms is actually his brother's, lol.

All in all, not a bad day's work, even though it took several days to finish.

Folder Design Class Winners

Students in Photoshop are keeping a folder in which they will store their agenda, notes on shortcuts, common procedures, and their projects.  Students were required to "design" their covers with whatever means they wanted, then members of each class voted on a "class favorite."  Below are the winners for each class.  Great job, guys!

Photoshop 2 Work

I have a handful of Photoshop 2 students in each class.  Photoshop 2 students have completed a full year of Photoshop 1, and must be proven self-starters and be able to work independently.  Photoshop 2 students are enrolled during the same class periods as Photoshop 1, and each class has from 1 to 3 PS2 students.

Here are some of the projects these students are working on:

World Mosaic by Aaron L.

Finding Don

So I finally decided on a Don, and started creating the parts in Photoshop.  Here are a few screenshots.

All paths drawn and inked in.

Deciding on the design

Having finally decided on my subject, I did a few searches and came up with some possibilities:

A.  Using a sillouette would make the job infinitely easier, and I like the middle and lower ones.

B.  This one actually uses one from the previous pic, but adds a nice background that would be easy to recreate.

What I did (and what I'm still doing) over the summer

This summer I had on my list two major projects:

tile front porch and

create a kitchen cart out of a bunch of junk.

Testing out new blogger presets.

Had to add a picture.

Dropbox Take 2

Dropbox

Have you heard of this great service?  It's called Dropbox, and it allows you to store things on your computer and the internet (in your own "dropbox") at the same time.  I love it!  If you like to take files home to work on them, or you have music or pictures at home you'd like to use in one of your projects, this is a perfect solution.  You don't have to worry about losing your flash drive and you can back up your work any time!  The first 2 Gigs are free--so you don't even have to pay for it!

Just click this link:  http://db.tt/JEysdiE (or copy and paste it) and sign up.  It's very easy, and by going through this link you'll earn extra space for yourself and our classroom folder.

(You will probably need me to type in my password in order to actually install it on your school computer.)
