This project used Photoshop to create a stop motion video.  Using 60-90 photos, we had to import them to Photoshop using the timeline feature.  Then, I adjusted the duration that each photo played for which resulted in a 35 second clip.  For the subject matter of my animation, I used two salt and pepper shakers that look like dinosaurs.

This is the last project using Photoshop to edit a photo and to get accustomed to using the timeline feature of Photoshop.  I chose three photos of myself, one when I was about 7, one when I was about 14, and one now.  The goal was to make sure each of the photos eyes linked up, so when they dissolve into the next photo the transition is smoother.

This project also uses Photoshop to put ourselves or someone else's face over the face of a famous painting or photo.  I chose the painting Girl with A Pearl Earring and I photoshopped Blake Lively's face on it.  This project was really hard, because the painting I chose had really weird lighting so it was hard to make the photoshopped image blend in.

Continuing to work in photoshop, we had to photoshop a ourselves or someone else into a location of our choosing.  I chose a photo of my friend and photoshopped her into a Parisian street at night.  This was challenging because the photo of her was taken midday and I was trying to put her on a darkly lit street.  I had to adjust the brightness and contrast a lot, and I also used the burn tool to add shadows.

This was the first project we had using Photoshop.  The goal was to get used to the options available for editing photos.  I also really enjoyed this project, it was fun to be able to edit photos without trying to make them realistic.  To edit the photos, I adjusted settings like brightness, contrast, and saturation.  I also used photo filters to further change the photos.

This is the last project we did in Illustrator and we had to pick poster to recreate.  I chose a poster for a TV show called Wynonna Earp, which is based of a graphic novel.  For the majority of this project I used the pen tool and just built up multiple layers of base colors, highlights, and shadows.  I used the eye dropper tool to try and match the colors as closely as possible to the original illustration.  This was my favorite project so far, even though it took the most time to finish.
