My Own Logos

This is  my first logo, my full name.  This one is really  simple and that is kind of what i was going for.  The other logos that i made for my full name were either to complex, or just not my favorite.   This one out of around 40 seems to stick out the most to me.  I just merged the letters, and placed them where I wanted to create this logo.

This next logo is my initials.  I drew the petals using the brush took, and the center is the circle tool.  Once again I merged the fonts, and then put them in the center of the flower.  This one was the first logo i made when starting this project, and has been my favorite throughout.

Lastly, this logo is symbol replacement.  I seem to go with the more simpler logos that I make. With this one, I simply replaced the the o's with hearts that I drew using the brush tool.  This one is very simple, once again, and stuck out the most as my favorite.

Photoshop

Another photoshop tutorial.  In this one i used the magnetic lasso tool, patch tool, and many other tools the cut something and then place it somewhere different.  This started with one globe, the 5 had a shadow, the flower had a white background, the lock was in a picture, and the pen had a gray background.  After using the tools specified in the tutorial, i managed to separate each from their backgrounds to accomplish this final collage!

Another Photoshop Tutorial

So, in photo, we were assigned another tutorial.  This one was to practice hiding layers and the benefits of doing so.  After following each step... this was the result (right).  After completing that, using the same document, we were told to put three people into the picture.  To do so i simply copied all the layers, and hid the originals.  Then i took three members (Ryland Blakington, Alex Suarez, Gabe Saporta) from the band Cobra Starship, and added them to the photo.  This is all on the same photoshop file, just different layers!

Practice Macro

Before I did my actual shoot, (previous post) we had a practice macro shoot with shells, to the right is my contact sheet.  I didn't edit any final photos.

Macro Shoot

For photo, we were assigned a macro shoot.  I chose to photograph a fencing mask, along with a sneaker.  I took the pictures, uploaded them to Adobe Bridge, created a contact sheet on Adobe Photoshop, and finally edited the three photo's i thought were best.  Above is my contact sheet, and below are my photo's i chose to edit.

Black and White

So, after following this simple tutorial, and by using only a few simple tools and techniques i learned how to add color to black and white photo's using adobe photoshop.  The picture stated like this (top left), and after i completed all the steps, it ended like that (bottom left).  Blue is my favorite color, and although very subtle i really like this picture.
