First addition: Image Galleries

After a lot of work, and time in front of a my "Workspace" I'm happy to say that I'm finally finished with my ."..From scratch" assignment for Photoshop. Although it's not perfect, I think I learned a lot from the assignment. The purpose of the whole thing was to apply problem solving skills to Photoshop and I think I came across quite a few of those.

For starters, the Ferris wheel consisted of many lines. To keep things simple, and organized I used the duplicate, merge and group features in Photoshop. This taught me how an organized workspace can really be helpful.

The background clouds weren't supposed to look as I planned them to be. But after playing with the filters, burn and dodge and gradient tools, the clouds turned out looking as they do. Actually my picture was going to have a digital camera on the side instead of the balloons, but because of the change in the angle/perspective I thought it wouldn't be realistic to have a camera there. So the balloons were a final addition to my image.

Drawing the balloons took thought too, even though it doesn't seem like much I had to make sure to draw them leading to the Ferris wheel to keep it as the main focus of the work.

The final product can be found at the Wiki, where we have the opportunity to create our own File Galleries and upload images we create.

Here's just a thumbnail of what it looks like:



That's all for now
