Photoshop Tutorial Project













This assignment was to try 2 different Photoshop tutorials from the magazine or website. I looked for the articles that had the most interesting looking results but weren’t too difficult and didn’t have too many steps. I settled on a lens flare trick and a way to create custom linetypes. I decided to use a picture of the beach because it is a bright, sunny place and worked well for the lens flare. For the custom linetype I used the paw print, as did the magazine. I didn’t really have control over principles of design since I was following steps, but the lens flare project used mostly shadow and color to create this effect. This was a fun but challenging project, as it required that I try many tools I have never used before. The lens flare went smoothly, but the line trick was slightly more challenging. I would look for as detailed instructions as possible in the future, because these projects require you to do exactly the right thing for a good result.
