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 

Open a file in Photoshop with the desire width, Height, and Resolution with a white background. Open up your flag and a brick wall in two different tabs. Put the flag on top of the brick and set it as hard light. Click on filter and Gaussian bar to blur your wall only. Hit CTRL + SHIFT+ U to desaturate it. 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.

Click here to turn off the Quick Mask mode. Click Inverse. The selection now includes only the area you painted in the Quick Mask mode.
