Tutorial 23




     Tutorial 23 is the easiest text effect I ever done.This tutorial is basic for any project.If you make a flyer or something you can use this text effect to make your title or something similar.I noticed that I didn't combine the colors right the blue and the black look really dull.In the future I will try to make better combinations.

Tutorial 44



     This tutorial has the effect of rain.Its a simple effect but this it defenitly going to give a better look to some of my future projects.I used several tools in this tutorial.I know that I need more practice because I did not cut the extra pieces of rain that are out of the picture.I will try to improve my techniques.

Montage Project

This collage was is really simple. I used basic tools like the blending tool and the layer mask tool. The project contains many layers and this is better because that way if you make mistakes you can just erase that layer. In this collage I tried to make people get the feeling that every moment in life is special. I believe that every moment in life is especial and I hope that by making this project I can get the people to feel it. The techniques I used will definitely help me in my future projects. I will try to also improve them.









In this collage I made many mistakes. I never used the layer mask tool and I just deleted parts of the original picture. The collage wasn’t that easy to make because it was the first one I ever made and I didn’t know how to use the layer mask tool. In this project I tried to make the people remember the movie of Wall-e. I really like this movie so I just wanted to make a Collage of it. The techniques I used in this project will help me in the future. I used different tool and techniques like the blending tool. This tool helped me give the effect of the explosion of a star. This project will defeninetly help me in my other collages.  









This collage reflects the unity Of the United States and Mexico as a border. These two states have had many problems because of immigration. I hope that people can see that in my project. In this collage I did use the layer mask tool and I made many layers to make my project look good. I noticed that my project has mistakes like the San Diego Bay does not look that good black and white with the flags and the fireworks in color. In my future projects I will try to focus more on combining colors.

My First Impressions

      My first impression of this class was that it was going to be hard.In this class I Know I will learn many new things to do designs.When I first came to this class I saw the collages in the learning wall.Those collages were made from students.They look really good.I hope that one day I can do the same thing or even better.
        The first time I tried to make a design I was all scared because I had no idea how to use the tools.Fortunatelly,the students and the teacher helped me alot.I got really impressed because the tools are really easy to use.I will try my best on all my projects and hope to get good grades.
