Photoshop

NBA Collage

I photo-shopped most of the NBA's top players into this photo by using the magnetic lasso tool.

Usain Bolt

To get the photo too look like this i when to filter and added the halftone pattern effect (circle). Then i use the gradient tool and faded out both side of the photo. After that i made it grayscale and got my finished product image of Usain Bolt.

Nike Ad (Black and White)

Nike Ad

This was originally a Lebron James Nike Ad, but i cropped it to make it me instead of Lebron. To do this i got rid of Lebron by going over him with the brush tool (black colour to go with the background). Then i got this picture of me playing basketball and i cropped it so it was only me and added it to the Nike Ad. I did that using the magnetic lasso tool and then all i had to do was cop and paste it into the Nike Ad and used free transform to put it into the place i wanted it.

Sunset

This was originally a photo of a sunset that Ms.Cooper provided. As a class we added a border to it by clicking select, then all, and then when you have marching ants around the picture you click select again and border. Then i chose 200 pixels for my border and made it red. After that i clicked filter, artistic, then plastic wrap. I edited the plastic wrap setting to make an extremely large effect on the photo which makes it look warped.

Birdhouse Pop Art

This is a pop art photo of a birdhouse picture that Ms.Copper supplied us with. To make this photo i used the rectangular marquee tool, then clicked edit and define brush preset, opened a new blank page and then found the stamp of the birdhouse under the brush tool. Once that was done all i had to do was click where i wanted my birdhouse and change the colours to make it like pop art.

Johnny Flynn

This is my favourite basketball player (Johnny Flynn) and i cropped out his face and added mine on top. I used the magnetic lasso tool, the regular lasso tool, and the free transform tool. I like this picture because i am a huge basketball fan and this is my favourite player, the only thing i do not like is that i couldn't figure out how to crop it better so it would look like i have a neck (it looks like i have no neck in the photo, and my face isnt that wide). Although that was an error in this photo i am still pleased with the result because it was my first time using photoshop to crop an image onto another one.
