Hi Everyone!

Today I'll be posting 3 Photoshop tutorials meant for beginners. Let's get right into it!

Tutorial #1: Learn Photoshop in 5 Minutes

I like this tutorial because it's a short and sweet way to get your bearings in Photoshop when you're first starting out. In the tutorial he shows you some of the basic effects you can use when editing an image, adding in text, as well as saving your work. This is perfect for complete beginners that are new to using the software.

Tutorial #2: Photoshop Basics - The Fundamentals of Photoshop for Beginners

This tutorial is a lot longer than the first one for beginners that want to go into a little more depth. In this tutorial she goes over all of the basics, including layers, masks, blend modes, and a few other fun tools to use. I definitely learned a lot from this video so it's worth checking out!

Tutorial #3: EVERY Tool in the Toolbar Explained and Demonstrated

This tutorial is great if you have some free time, as this is the longest tutorial on this list. He goes over every single tool bar and demonstrates their uses and how to go about using them. I don't think I'm able to list all of the tools he goes over because the list is just too long! If you're a beginner starting out this is the perfect video to watch to understand the fundamental tools used in the Photoshop software.

Portfolio

Artists Statement: After becoming more comfortable working with InDesign, I was able to create a personalized portfolio containing all of the projects we've done throughout the semester. For reference, the first slide is above and the last slide ends with the business cards. This portfolio encompasses all of the hard work I've put in throughout this semester, and I couldn't be more proud of myself. Looking back on it, I didn't even realize how many projects we've actually done! I used a green color scheme, featuring a light green as the background with dark green, grey, and black as alternate colors. I can't wait to show this portfolio to my friends and family to show off all of my projects!

BW to Color

Artist Statement: For my black and white to color photoshop project I decided to use three different types of color schemes; Square, Triad, and Analogous. I really like pinkish-purple colors and I think my favorite scheme in this project was probably the analogous. I was able to utilize the quick selection tool to outline multiple sections of my image including my shirt, shorts, hair, the wall behind me, the reflection on the water, the lights, and as an added bonus, the moon! Having a white shirt on definitely helped the colors on my shirt pop a bit more than the rest of the image since it was taken at night time. Overall, I really enjoyed working on this project and I think photoshop is my new favorite software that we've used so far!

Photoshop Homework 2

Find 1 image that inspired you or gave you an idea for the "Somewhere" project: I think this is a really cool photo because you can do a lot with the background of it. Whether it's changing colors or making it a whole other structure, I would definitely photoshop myself onto it. Find 1 image you think it would be really hard to photoshop yourself in to: This photo I especially thought it would be hard to photoshop myself into because of how complex the image is. Theres a lot of motion blur going on, lots of different colors and reflections, it would be a hard task to accomplish. Find 1 set of images that made you laugh: All of his posts were very funny and creative but I laughed the most at this one 😂 Which illusion you think you might want to recreate? This illusion is cool because some of the other ones were able to be done without software, whereas this one clearly uses photoshop. It would be very cool to work on a project like this one.
