Project 6 FInal Project

I started with a landscape desert scene and mask the sky. I darked the landscape photo to give the appearance of night time. I added a fractal design I made in Ultra Fractal program and set it in the background. I overlayed a separate starfield over the fractal and added 2 large suns. Also, I added a spirit dancer hovering over the landscape. I tried to create a native peyote experience. I was able to apply most of the photoshop techiques I learned from lessons from the textbook.

Project 4 Shoes with a Destination

I took photos of my shoes and added layers of NASA photos. I transformed layers from map by bending around the contours of the shoes and I lower the opacity settings to bend over shoes.

Project 3 In Living Color

I started with the line art then made selections to individual areas and filled with color. Easy project I learned about filling in selected areas.
