Finals Christmas Template

This semester has taught me a lot about Photoshop and the amazing things you can do. Photoshop has enhanced my ideas of creation and imagination. You can do so many things with Photoshop, you’ll be surprise what you could do with a few easy steps. One of my favorites tools of Photoshop that I learned to use this semester is the layer mask. With layer mask you could put any layer or image on top of another and erase what you want. You could erase the parts you don’t want in your picture and make it seem 3D instead of 2D.

Another favorite tool I used a lot this year is the lasso tool. With the lasso tool I could manually select any part of an image and deleted. For example if I want it to delete a part of an arm, a ceiling, or a person. I would use the lasso tool and remove that part. Also, another favorite tool is the clone stamp. With the clone stamp you could clone any part of a picture and put it wherever you want. If you want it to make a person have three eyes you could use the clone stamp; clone one of the eyes and put it on top of the person’s picture forehead or wherever you want. It could also be an arm a head, or even a place.

Finally, if you want to add a little more to your picture I recommend using the brush tool and the brush tip shape. The brush tip shape is amazing; you could transform or make a brush any way you want. If you take a simple brush tool you could multiply it and scatter it all along the picture. This adds a nice effect to any picture. Also, this is an easy way to add effect to a logo so you could satisfy and “wow” your costumers.

In the end Photoshop has taught me a lot and show me how far technology has gone and I bet it’s even farther. I think Photoshop is the number one for artistic logos, montage pictures, and effects and is used all along the world. So finally with these tools and many more I was able to create and have ideas for my final Christmas template.

Stationery

Logo 1

For my best logo I used techniques I have learned from previous tutorials and tutorials I have learn from a few days ago. My logo represents recycling and saving the earth from pollution. If you throw your trash to the streets, you’re throwing away the planet you’re living in. Let the Earth be clean and throw your trash away in a trash can! And also recycle. Now for techniques I used to make this is brush and layer mask. First, I got a trash can from the internet and a picture of our planet. I erased half of the planets picture to make it seem as if it’s in the trash can, ready to get polluted. Then I used the costume shape tool to use a shape of a recycle sign. I put it on the trash can and use layer mask to make it blend with it.

Logo 2

For my last logo I did it on a subject I like, Medical Science. Medical Science has find ways to cure diseases in blood cells. To make the logo I got two pictures of DNA and medical. I used the Magic Wand Tool to take out the background for the two pictures. Then I put in the DNA picture with the medical. I added Text and used Bevel and Emboss to add 3D to the text. I think this logo will say how Medical science is all about.

Logo 3

For my third logo I used the pen tool, costume shape tool, and text. First, I needed a picture to represent a heart. So I used the costume shape tool and I found my heart. At first the heart shape looked simple and 2D. So I went and used Bevel and Emboss to make it look more realistic. After I added the shadows and brightness I used the pen tool. Now this part was hard to me. I wanted to make a heart beat with the pen tool and it came out ok. Finally I added the text that are “live longer” and “Health Care.” This is saying if you get health care you will live longer years and a healthy life. Because that’s what health care has done. And with an emergency, if you have Health Care, your life will be saved. To me this is very important. It helps you and family members to be safe.
