First what I did in this picture is I used Ellipse Tool to make a round shape so I can make it a meteor as if its crushing down. After I drew the two Ellipse circles i edited them to make them look like a meteor and I added a little fire using the same steps I used on my previous project. After I did that I added fire to the picture at the bottom. Using the Polygonal Lasso I drew kind of a fire effect line. Then I added yellow to the inside and added a little orange on top so it will look like fire. And the robot in the picture with a bunch of wires of mechanics, I added it so it wool look as if he is trying to save a tree from getting destroyed and destroying the beauty of the planet.

I wanted to do a picture that says the galaxy is almost at its end. Here, in this picture, I made as if the planets are crushing with the sun or maybe a sun. They are about to meet its end into something you can't escape or stop. To do this picture I looked in google and searched "planets." When I found my two pictures, I needed another picture that look as if they are about to crash. And so I found a picture of the sun and thought, "this is perfect!" I cut down the planets from their original picture using the Polygonal Lasso tool cuting down the background after you inverse the picture, I added the two planets to the "sun picture," and added a little fire two the planets as if they are burning up as they get closer and closer to the sun. Using the Brush Tool I colored the front side of the planet with and orange kind of color and I ripple the colors so it will look af it is burning up. I did the exact same thing to the other planet but putting it a little more closer to the sun.Then after i edited the planets and adding them to the "sun picture," I got the brush tool choosed a white color and drew a line. I drew about three lines and the reason I did that is to make it as meteor showers are passing by. I edited the white lines make it them smaller and larger making them look as if their metero showers.

A dog with his two ironic friends.

The dog in this picture reminds me of the dog I have, which is exactly the same dog. So, I decided I want it to edit, custom, or add effect to a picture of the same dog I have. First, I used the Polygonal Lasso Tool and outline the whole body. Then I inverse the picture so I could add an effect to the background instead of the dog. I added a little bit of noise to the background, about 5.0%. Then I started to look for pictures for what the things he likes to do. I was going to put a Frisbee but then i found two picture of a bird. And I remember he likes to watch birds and followed them around trying to catch them. So I open a new file, took one of the pictures and open it, and then I edited with Polygonal Lasso Tool. Cutting the outlines around him. Using the same step I used before, inverse the picture, cut everything from the background, then I took the bird in the picturte alone and put it on the "dog picture." I put it on top of his nose. I did the same thing for the other picture of a bird and put it on the dog's tail. This picture reminds me of the dog I have but this dog in this picture acts completley the oposite. If this was my dog, those birds wouldn't be there.
