Two More Tutorials

This tutorial was about getting text to fade into the background. I thought it turned out ok, I was indecisive with how much fade I should use. I really love the background... my favorite part. 

For this one, I used a picture of the African savanna. I know it doesn't look like much, but the tutorial was about making a good black and white image. I do think it turned out much better than if I had just imply turned it black and white.

Chair Cover

This was a pretty good project, had to think about what to do more. For the artwork that covered the chair, I used drawings of nature I found on the internet. I am very satisfied with it and thought the chair turned out really good. However, I had some trouble wtih the shadow of one of the legs.

Ehh, I don't like it as much as the first one I did. I used the drop shadow thing for this one instead of duplicating the layer like the last one. I decided to do paintings of the desert for the cover, some of them  were good, but the edges of them were being a little difficult.

2 Photoshop Tutorials

This photoshop tutorial was to replace a sky without making a selection. The original sky behind the sphinx was a plain, boring blue sky. I felt it dulled the image, so, I went online and found a sky with almost "dramatic" clouds. I like how it turned out.

The second PS tutorial had to do with singing/burning the edges of a photo. The original image wasn't as grungy, so I added a few tints. contrast, etc. to fix that. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, simple, yet effective.
