Photoshop Tutorials

                                                                                            Overview

For this assignment, we were tasked with watching video tutorials explaining the different functionalities and uses for the tools in Photoshop. We got experience with Content Aware Fill, the Patch Tool, Clone Stamp, Healing Brush, Spot Healing Brush, as well as combining all of these functions to create a Portrait Collage.

               Content Aware Fill                    _____________________________________

 For this tool, we were assigned to reposition the logo on this surf board. Originally it was about halfway down the board, we were supposed to create a version without a logo and then another with the logo moved up like the image above.

Patch Tool

  For this tool, we were tasked with removing a logo from the mans shirt. It was a political logo, and he didn't want it to distract from the image. I used the patch tool to make the mans shirt look realistic.

Clone Tool and Healing Brush  

                                   Clone Stamp and Patch Tool

For these tools, we were assigned to remove a tag from the models clothing and then smooth it to make it look realistic. We used the clone tool to extend the sleeve over the tag to begin our removal. Then, we cleaned it all up using the healing brush.

For this imagine, we needed to get rid of a pole protruding from the mans head. In order to do this, we used the clone tool to replicate the blue sky, then we used the              

patch tool to clean up the mistakes.

                                                               Spot Healing Brush

                                                        For the Spot Healing Brush, we were assigned to clean up an image of a young boy that had lots of dirt on his face. We used the spot healing brush tool to zoom in and get rid of the dirt, then we created a clipping mask to smooth everything.

 For our last assignment, we combined together the tools we have learned to create a photography portfolio. This was by far the most difficult and time consuming, however it was also the most worth it. I am pleased with the outcome and proud of my accomplishment.

Self Portrait


For this assignment I chose to do a video with my two younger cousins names Alayna and Bella, they are 3 and 4. I feel that this represents how family oriented I am. It also shows my love and passion for kids. I wanted people to know this about me to see how compassionate I am,  and to know I'm their go to person if they're having a personal issue or need a friend. I was personally inspired by Drew Faflicks work because it was simple yet it showed his humorous personality. I also enjoyed Andrews banana film because it was very unique and kept me on my toes.

I shot my film at an angle the get both of my cousins and myself in the shot. I wanted myself to be in the shot because this video is about myself, so I figured it would be important for the audience to see who I am, interacting with my cousins. At one point I panned out to show the tent I was in with the kids, Bella had asked me to show it to the camera.

I hope my viewers can see my apathetic side of my personality and can get to know who I truly am. I do believe I was succeful in this and did an excellent job in the short amount of time I had to subtly get my message across. It was difficult for me to get the kids to stop being so cranky and to want to be in my video! I overcame this by bribing them fruit snacks and a movie! I personally like how adorable my cousins are and how spontaneous and random they are. If i were to this again I would most likely plan some more questions to ask them in advance. I learned to not read too much into what you want to do. This assignment is meant to show your personal creative side and I feel that your initial ideas for this represent who you are more than your final product.

In conclusion, I thouroughly enjoyed being in front of the camera and I look forward to a year in video! I would love to improve my skills and collaboration skills. I am looking forward to his year.
