Assignment #22

I used Google Sketch for this assignment. First you have to count how much the length, width, and the height of the box. Then, use the measuring tape to get the correct measurements. Use the push/pull tool to make you shape look 3D. Use the pencil tool to draw lines and make the shapes based on the given direction. Lastly, click on tools - Dimensions. Show the measurements for each sides. Click on the paint bucket to fill the shapes with the color you want. Follow the similar steps for all the shapes you make. 

 Block Quiz

8 x 5 x 5

Open up a new file in Google Sketch. Make a 3D box with length 8', width 5', and height 5'. Make a 4' slope on the front of the box. Make another slope with 3'. Then, use the pencil too to draw the lines and use push/ pull tool to push the shape back and you will end up getting the shape in the picture. You might need to use the eraser tool  to erase some of the drawing lines you made to get to the perfect shape. Lastly, color the shapes as it is shown in the picture. 

23- Gingerbread House 

Download a gingerbread house picture from Google. Go to Google Sketch and make a 3D box. Make sure the height of the box is taller than the person. Use the measure tap to measure how you want your house to be. Also try to make the house look the the picture you download from Google. I don't have to be exactly like the original picture. I use the shape tools and the push/pull tool to make my house look 3D. Lastly, color your house based on your original picture or your imagination. Import the original picture next to the 3D house and set it as front view. Export the 3D model to front, back, and side view. Have fun!

24- Gingerbread House 3D

Download a picture you want as your background image for your gingerbread house from Google. Only copy the house and paste it on your chosen background image. Duplicate the layer and label it as "Red". Click on the original layer and go to the blending options. Only click the G and B box and use the right arrow on the keyboard to drag the picture to the right. Now Go to the blending options for the duplicate layer and only check on the R box and drag the picture by using the left arrow on the keyboard. Lastly, just save it as PSD & JPEG and use a 3D glasses to see the final picture. 

25- Glowing Button 

Open up a canvas size 800 x 600 file in Photoshop. Select the “Ellipse Tool” (U) then drag out the ellipse onto the canvas. Add layer styles to ellipse. Duplicate the ellipse. Add layer styles to the duplicate layer. Select the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” (M) then make a selection around the canvas and fill the selection with the color black. Go to “Filter > Noise > Add Noise”.  Go to “Filter > Blur > Radial Blur”. Match bother ellipse in the middle. Download the power symbol and place it on the top of the ellipse. Add layer styles to power symbols. Create a new group and duplicate it. Change the power symbol to new layer styles. Hide the “Glow Group” leaving the other group visible then go to the animation panel “Window > Animation”, the animation panel should appear at the bottom of the canvas, select the little grey arrow on the right hand side then select “Convert To Frame Animation”. Select both frames and tween it. Copy and paste the 7 layer and select “Reverse frames”. Have fun!

26- Showcase yourself

Create a new document 1680 x 1024 pixel with a white colored background. Select the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” to setup a couple of guides to get the dimensions of the room.  Turn on the rulers by going to “View > Rulers” to get the lines. Create a left and right wall, Celling, Floor, and the middle of the room. For the Floor and ceiling Layer, go to “Edit > Transform > Perspective”, select either the top left or top right anchor points, hold down the shift key and drag inwards until it snaps onto the edge of the inner rectangle. Change the blending options for all the layers. Select the “Ellipse Tool” then at the top on the ceiling creates an oval ellipse and changes the layer style. Now create another ellipse smaller so it fits roughly inside of the first oval ellipse. Duplicate what you have made twice and move the duplicated layers along so you have a total of 3 lights on the ceiling. Select the “Elliptical Marquee Tool” and make a selection on the floor directly beneath the light. Fill the selection with the color white, de-select the selection then add a guassian blur “Filter > Blur > Guassian Blur” and change the opacity. Make another oval selection this time on the back wall of the 3D room. Put everything in a group and duplicate it. Put three different picture of you and sent it up as shown above.

2nd marking pd

11- club flyer

I started off with the linear gradient background. For this I chose blue and yellow. for the title "Everyone is invited" I used glass text format. For the information about the club, I used plastic text format. lastly, for the picture and the text on it, I used photo-filled text format. You can also play around with the format as you like it best. 

12- Text with layer mode 

Download a picture of a dress from Google and a texture. Use magnetic lasso to select the dress. Put the texture over it. You can change the opacity of the texture as you like it. When you are done, put the original picture of the dress and the texture next to the new dress you made. 

13-Change one thing poster 

First download a unhealthy food picture you eat everyday. Then download a healthy food picture you want to replace with the 1st picture. In this case, I chose a bowl of popcorn and a bowl of fruit salad. I used a gradient background for this. Use magnetic lasso to only take the bowl n fruit salad and put them together as you like it.  Make your file vertical. Add texts by supporting your poster. Change the opacity of the texts as you like it best. Lastly, put #changeonething and a logo of a food bank to complete your poster, 

14-Halloween-Jack-o- Lantern 

Find a stock photo with a pumpkin and remove the background using Magic wand or Magnetic Lasso. Insert on a new document. Click on Add a layer style icon from bottom part of the Layers panel and select inner glow. Next choose the Pen Tool, set the drawing mode on Shape Layers in Options bar and draw the shapes. Use blending options for the shapes.  Next select the Soft Round brush from Brush Tool and set the Opacity to 10% in the Options bar. Create a new layer under the layer containing the pumpkin and try to insert some light under this pumpkin, with the same brush’s used above.

    15a- Flag Displacement

Save the displacement file and click on filter and displace the brick wall. Select the Brick Layer and in the Blending options choose Hard Light. Combining the displaced flag with the duplicated Hard Light brick wall layer produces a more realistic effect. Set the Opacity to 80% just to give the layer a more natural look. (Play with the settings to get the desired result).

                                                          15b- Flag/ face Displacement

Open up a picture of any face and a flag. This assignment is similar to the assignment on the top. Just follow the same steps. Also when you put the flag on top of the face, erase the flag on rest of the body except for the face. The outcome should look like the picture on the top.
