Surreal Practice Tutorials

We prepared for our surreal project by practicing different techniques we may want to use in our projects. In this tutorial we learned the value of layering textures using blending options to create an atmosphere with dream like qualities.(http://www.photoshop-garden.com/view_tut.php?id=76Credit: Stock: hbrush.com Texture: moonchilde-stock.deviantart.com, 99mockingbirds.chanlu.orgText brush: shyndel.deviantart.com)

The thing i liked while doing this tutorial was how we overlayed the two different pictures and popped and dropped the intensity of different colors. I also liked how we made the picture look like a cloud of somke was in the picture.

We then followed this tutorial found at http://www.voidix.com/eye_manipulation.html to give us ideas and practice combining images, reversing natural laws, transforming objects and using Photoshop to create a realistic surrealistic scene.

The thing I liked while doing this tutorial was how we put the scenery in the eye. I also liked how we popped and intensified the eye colors.

Graduation Program

After looking at the other programs the thing I think I did the best would have to be the way that I set up how the hands are holding the Pegasus. Now that I have seen the other programs I think i could have set the back and the words up better. I think the design was a little easier then I thought it would be, because I knew exactly what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I think the most important parts of parts and or aspects of Graphic Design are how u set everything up, because if its not set up right it does not look good. I really don't have any suggestions that I could make for next year.

Alternate Program: Senior Portfolio Show

After looking at the other program covers I think that I did really good on setting up the how I wanted the circles, the photos and the Pegasus. Now that I have seen the other programs i think I could have worked with the words a little more. The thing that I struggled with the most might have been how many photos I need to put in the circle on the back. The one that I think I did the best is the portfolio show one because it looks more artistic then the graduation one dose.
