Food

In this assignment I took pictures of food. I hoped that by tasking these pictures I could make a person be as hungry as possible.

For editing I made some slight changes to the appearance of the fruit by getting rid of some unsightly marks.








This week I learned about touching up pictures. That is something I haven't done much since the car retouch assignment and i was relatively proud of myself for thinking that I should do that.

Visual Puns

In this assignment I took some pictures from the Internet and crafted some visual puns to try and stump any viewers they wernt incredibly clever designs though.



In this assignment I learned it is very hard to make a pun that is clever but also makes sense. I discarded on that I made because there wasn't much of a pun to it there wasn't any thing hidden but none of mine ended up very professional.

Product/Still Life

In this assignment I set up shot that would yield some good pictures. the subjects of these pictures were set up in a way as to seem appealing almost like they were in a magazine advertisement.

Editing: I flipped the whole picture around so that the brand name on the head of the guitar would be right side up. I also reduced the visibility of a large smudge on the bottom of the body and then finally I blacked out all of the carpet on the ground under the sheet music.







In this assignment I learned more about the clone tool. I haven't used it in a while but I remembered how to use it pretty well and i was able to make an unsightly smudge virtually disappear. Other than that this assignment was kind of ordinary.

Picture Dictionary

In this assignment we were told to pit to get 4-5 visual dictionary pages using the definition and visuals to help convey the meaning of the chosen word. we were told to use images from a certain website, and some pictures that we actual took were supposed to be put into the dictionary page.




I learned a lot about editing this week, one thing in particular was messing around with colors and font it was very annoying sometimes and I had to restart typing the definition because I messed up and I didn't know what I did but I eventually figured it out. I had been using the wrong tool to try to change the font.

Black and White

In this assignment our class was instructed to take pictures that would look good in black and white this could be done when in dull light when the colors in normal light wouldn't be very extenuated. then they would still look as good as if the lighting was better.

In this I learned how to change the levels of photos that were in black and white on Photoshop's editing tools instead of gimp's. Some of photo shops features I found easier to use than gimps but they are clumsier and don't give you as many options.

Portrait Demo

In this assignment we took photos of people using the studio and areas of a lot of light and bounce cards to light up the subject. Then put the photos onto gimp and make a frame for each and put them into one image.

Nature and Landscape

For this assignment I had to take pictures of the nature and landscape around my house and school. mostly i took pictures of the floweres coming out this time in spring.


(No editing)
Exposure f2.8
Shutter Speed 41/100,000
Iso 104








For this project I learned an alternative way to get pictures uploaded to the server through my phone I took 10 out of 11 pictures in this album with the my cell. It was really difficult to get my pictures uploaded. I also realized how much color there is in the spring, besides just green.
