Daily Blog Post #38

i followed a tutorial to creat a gloomy text effect. i used mtotion blurs and couds to try to imitate this effect. there was a lot of duplicating layers. at the end, my final piece looked nothing like the example, but i actually like it better because its dark and it looks weird.

i used some pictures from soccer to create one image. i want to use it for a slide for my senior exhibition. i used a  mask to hide parts from a picture. i also used the clone tool to change where i was located in the middle of the picture to the sied in order to fit in a text box. i am pleased with the overall result. i know that the fields dont match up, but i was just trying to make it blend in somewhat and the green background works for me.

i found an interesting tutorial on lighting and masking. I started the tutorial by masking person on a white background onto a black background. i added some lighting by using the ellipse selection and gradeints and masks to blend it. brushes were used to use as lights also. i used illustrator to create a vector shape to add some design to the image.

Im still working on photoshop tutorials because i didnt get a chance to work on anything during the break. I worked on a tutorial to create Drake's "Thank Me Now" album cover, but i made it with Cristiano Ronaldo's face. It was levels adjustments. inner and outer shadowns and a blur. fairly easy. i also worked on a reflection on sunglasses. the most important things i believe is to spherize the image on the reflection and also make it a little bit more opaque. i only did one lens.
