"Album Cover"




In this album cover I think my strongest area was being able to use the lasso tool to cut out different parts of images to be able to morph them into one fluid picture. Also my use of blend modes came out nice and helped the image look more natural rather than copy and pastey. I can improve my work by learning more tools on Photoshop to be able to make a more interesting and three dimensional picture. Once I become more comfortable with a variety of tools I think I will be able to come back to this picture to add a variety of different tools to make a more balanced image.

Some aspects of this activity were easy. Being able to choose a verity of pictures off of google was easy because it required very little work or effort to search for a picture. It was also easy being able to drag in the pictures from other tabs within photoshop. However, some aspects of this activity were also difficult. In some photos, you couldn't just use the magnetic lasso because the pictures had weirdly shaped edges so in this case you had to go in individually so there wouldn't be white edges in the picture that you dragged into the final project.

Some tools that I used were the lasso tools, blend modes, colorize, and the move tool. I used them to be able to make one fluid image so it didn't look as though I just copied other pictures onto one. This demonstrated the objective by making one image that blended used others to represent my interests in an album cover format. If I were to do this again I would use pictures that I took, to make it more personalized.
