My Photoshop Portfolio By: Isaac Thomas

Goals  To Present 15 to 20 pictures that I have edited in Photoshop.  To use anything I have learned in class and apply it in my project.  To display some of my own photography in my project.  To post some of these pictures online in a separate album.

 The reason I chose to make a Photoshop album is because I thought it was the most creative program that we used in class. The possibilities are endless and you can make any web page more creative and artistic. It can be a great tool when working on websites and computer published material.

 I selected the grayscale color format to make this picture black and white.  The squares are made with the gradient tool.  I took the pictures of the power lines and Bart train.

 I took this one at the Macarthur BART station.  I used the color levels to make the 6 different colors.  Each color is contrary.

 This is two different pictures. I used the layer opacity to make the steering wheel and frame see-through.  I took the background picture on the way to treasure island.

 This was a simple ad placement thing.  I just took a picture of the cartoon Futurama offline and placed Oreo cookies on the TV in the background.  I took the pictures of the Oreos at Wal mart.

 This is another advertisement thing I did.  Simple idea.  I used the layer opacity to better blend the milk carton and got milk sign.

 This is a poster that I have in my room that I took a picture of.  I transformed it to its negative state before I edited it.  I only used the basic paint tools to color this picture.  Coloring the letters was very tedious because they were all connected.

 I took this picture at the treasure island tennis court.  I added the picture of Jerry Garcia and the hungry waif gingerbread men things to the power box.

 This is a picture I took of my friend’s neighbor’s car.  The graffiti on the car was done by the layer overlay options.  This gives all the parts that overlap are turned into negative pictures.

 This is also a pictures that has the layer overlay properties switched.  It is a picture of a truck in a parking lot under a picture of bob Marley playing the guitar.  For the picture of bob Marley I used a neon glow filter from the filter menu.

 This is a picture of led zeppelin on a Hindenberg.  The picture in the background is a negative of a tree I took.

 These are two of the sample pictures from the Photoshop program file.  This was the picture that presented me with the most problems. It took me a while to figure out how to make the lightning. There is no line tool in Photoshop so I had to draw the lightning by free hand then use the polygonal lasso to make the edges straight.

 This was the picture that turned out the best for me.  I used a black and white effect to make the whole background black and white.  I used a neon glow that made all of the city lights turn blue.

 I got both of the pictures on google.  I used two instances of the Fender Telecaster.  I adjusted the glow properties and made it transparent.  I adjusted the levels and used the film grain filter for the canvas.
