Ozer,+Orli

Hi my name is Orli Ozer. I am a sophomore at Methacton. I felt a lot of things were successful about my project. I really liked learning how to use the different colors and backgrounds and tools of Photoshop. My favorite part of my prject is the color scheme because they are my favorite colors and I think it looks really good.

I really liked doing the city project because we had a lot of freedom and could basically be as creative as we wanted to. I liked being able to take something from the internet(water). I also liked making the skyline with the sunset background.

I enjoyed this project because it allowed you to think outside the box. You could be as creative as you want. However, I am not a big fan of unrealistic thigs. I learned how to use the clone tool, which was really helpful in covering the original peacock and snake head.



I liked this project because we got to take pictures and really learn how to edit them. It was really fun to "clone" ourselves. I learned how to completely crop everything out of the picture besides myself and I used the pen tool. I also liked being able to play around with the filters.

I liked working on the surrealism project. It was the project that we got the most freedom and could basically do anything we wanted. It was hard to think of an original idea, but it was fun to work on once I knew. I used the clone and cropping tool a lot. I like to work with a color scheme and theme. It is surreal because the girl is looking through the telescope and her eye is in the sky. In the pupil, are stars.



I used the principles balance and emphasis. I used "15 medallion brushes." I used the same brush, but increase the size and changed the color. The focal point is the center, but is not in the center of the picture, I think that adds more effect and stands out the most. I arranged the brushes on top of ach other to create the feeling of stability in my work. I really liked this project because we could take other people's work(the brushes) and make it into our own and still be creative.

Before After I really liked this project because you could make changes to someone but still keep it realistic. I learned how to change the color of hair by adjusting brightness/contrast and color balance. I also learned how to select big areas with the mask tool which was helpful when editing her hair and skin. I used dodge and burn to lighten and darken different parts of her skin and use gaussian blur to make her skin look like it had an airbrush look. This project was probably my favorite so far. I learned lots of new things like desaturize to make the photo black and white and also the use of highlights, midtones, and darktones. If I could change anything about it I would have liked the picture to be in black and white because I thought it looked better like that. For the background, I used a texture tool from filter gallery. I really like the way it looks with the dots. I chose John Mayer because he is one of my favorite artists and his songs always make me feel better. I made a living room in the city. I liked this project because there were no limitations and you could basically do whatever you want. I learned how to take pictures from the internet but still make them my own. It was hard to put the furniture in the proper perspective. My favorite thing was being able to be as creative as I wanted. I used edit transform distort for the perspectives, and I used filter gallery texturize for the cieling. I liked this project because we got to take our own pictures and make an ad for whatever we want. I used emphasis to draw the audience's attention right the shoes. I hope to get the message across that these basketball shoes will help you score. I used brushes to add the extra effect. I liked being able to use my own photo and also all my own thoughts/likes. I think this project is my favorite because it is very personalized. I made my background as dull as possible so that you could barely read the font and I would stand out. It was hard to match all the layers, but in the end I really liked this project. []

Matt Hawkins is a paper art artist. I really like his work because it is all different and he likes to make things so no two people have the same one. He and his work have been featured in many magazines, and he even designed a character for a famous video game. His goal is to make designs to be used in children’s pop up books. His work is all very creative and takes realistic things and makes them unrealistic and interesting.
