4/4: Photoshop Intro

 I have used photoshop before and really enjoy the way you can edit photos retouch them to look more professional. After watching some videos on Youtube about all of the tools in the toolbar, I have found some that I would love to master. I also found a few that I think will be pretty difficult yet very useful

After watching video 1, I found that one tool I am really excited for is the spot healing brush. it really allows for the user to touch up phots more accurately especially when zooming into a photo to get the most precise placement and adjustment. I think this will just really make images appear higher quality and more professional which I am excited about.

The next tool that I think will be really helpful is the lasso tools. The magnetic one in particular I could see myself utilizing pretty frequently. I think it is an easier way to cutout a shape when you compare it to using the pen tool. The magnetic lasso allows for more precise shape outlining and kind of does the work for you. I also like how you can easily remove your selected cutout or reverse it and make the selected area the only shape that stays.

This video talks about the clone stamp which I think is a really interesting tool that is brand new from the previous tools we have seen in illustrator. I think when editing images this feature will be really useful when trying to touch up an image or remove certain things from the background that are unnecessary to the image. For example, if you are taking a sunset photo and a bird ruins the picture, you can use the clone stamp tool to cover the bird so it is removed from the original photo.

4/23: InDesign Intro

Image
 Video1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSfYVn5MqbQ      In this video, the creator thoroughly explains come tools in InDesign. I find it really interesting how similar yet different each application is. One of the tools that seemed similar yet a bit different than the other creative cloud apps is the select tool particularly how it moves images and objects around. The video explains how InDesign puts everything into a frame, I am assuming for layout purposes. I noticed when he was inserting images, the shape you put your image into is different than the actual image., You can move the image around within the frame. The image and the shape you insert the image into are two different entities.  Video 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDfM8VmDRzQ     In this video, the creator does a similar job as the first one. They go through all the basic capabilities that each tool has. Although I didn't think any of them were too hard I thought the scissor tool. Once you place an image into I

5/2: Final Portfolio

Image
 To end the class, we made a portfolio of all the work we have completed this semester. I had a lot of fun making it my own and being able to showcase all my hard work over the past couple months. I made my book in InDeisgn and rather than using a pre-made template, I decided to make it completely on my own which was very fun. I wanted it to be completely authentic and made by me because I plan to keep this as a way to to continue to advertise my work.       Over the last few months, I have learned how to use Adobe Creative Cloud apps such as: Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. I think this project is so helpful because it shows me all the progress I have made when it comes to my own art. I enjoyed this class thoroughly and it is nice to see all of my work showcased. I think I will use this portfolio not only to show my work but as a marker of progress and and the ways I improve my art in the future.  Artists Statement: HI! My name is Gabby Pelechaty and I am currently
