[ The Shampoo Lady ]

A Shampoo Lady AD.
The packet provided us with the pictures for the Shampoo AD.
It looks pretty cool with the text and the lines.
Basically it was just a bunch of text adding and layers.

Not really a before picture, there were several images to add to this.

[ Incubus ☮ ]

-Before-
Amazing band, and ....
An edited CD cover for Incubus.
We just did any pictures we chose to colorize. 
I think that with the blood running down and such it highlights the what they are actually trying to show you.

We got to chose another image we wanted to colorize
I love the colorizing technique that we can do.
It really makes everything 'pop from the picture that it was before.

[ Morgana Shadow ]

I really enjoyed doing this shadow because it already had a white background so it didn't look funny when I cut it out. I just duplicated Morgana and flipped it so it would look as f it was behind her. Then I added a black to transparent gradient to make it actually look like a shadow. Then I just moved stuff around to make it fun and it was done! :D

[ Blending Images ]





I overall really enjoyed doing this project. It was hard to find a way to blend the image into the other photo where it wouldn't look funny. I just added text and a desaturated it and make the photo brown with a darker brown on the bottom. I added another effect to the soccer ball to make it shine and some noise. Then I just added the text and wha-lah it was done! I thought it was a really fun project to be able to do. :)

[ Business Card 2 ]

I decided to make a personal business card that maybe I would have for some type of business I would run. I thought maybe a pop-art designer so I found a picture of a dog with the pop art design and found a fairly crazy background for the pop-art and just a picture of a flower in the bottom. I lastly added a quote that could fit the type of business I would be running. This would most likely be the back of the business card since it has no information to contact the person to do the work.

[ Elegant Photo ]

I created a type of magazine ad for IKEA and put a picture of a couch living room set below the 1st photo and the IKEA logo. It was pretty simple to do, just photo and text was added and the opacity of the text was lowered to make it blend in more with the photo. A border was added around the 1st photo and a white empty space added down below.

[ Perspective Shadow ]




There's no 'before' photo in this picture too. Text was added then flipped upside down and adjusted to look like a shadow with a blur effect added to it too. A gradient was put in the background too from white to black and had to be adjusted just right to have it look straight.

[ Distressed Text ]

No before picture for this. Random lines are created through the text to create the distressed affect. The pack came up with the words to put, personally I have no idea what it's supposed to mean. It was pretty simple, and a few other effects were added to make it look distressed too.

[ Picture Text ]

Close to one of my very first projects I did. There was a picture added to the background and pasted into so that you could type the text in white and the picture in the background could appear. I really liked doing these and finding certain pictures that would fit the word that you're going to make appear through.

[ Business Card ]


There were two parts of this business card that were done but I really only liked the 1st one. The 2nd part didn't turn out very well. So, there were no pictures that were added to this project. Just colors that were pretty hard to find :P and some lines that had to be angled just right to look like a cross walk. The orange lines and the text aren't exactly matched to the text but I thought it looked pretty cool. A brush shadow affect was added to the edges too! ;D

[ Car Blur ]


A picture of a pretty nice car that I wouldn't really mind having. :P The affects added are the same as 'The Burgermobile' just a few blurs to make it look like it's actually moving. No text or anything was added because I thought it would look more elegant and actually like a TV commercial you might see to make it look like the car is moving along the road but it's actually just staying in the same place. O.o o.O

[ Welcome To GoodBurger ☁ ]

The car is from the movie 'Goodburger' and I cut out Keenan and Kel out of a picture to add a little flair to the photo. Affects were added to the car to make it blur. Just some ones of the Guassian Blur and others. Then I added some colorful text of what year and the name of the car is! ;D

[ Borat Shadow ]

-Before-
-After-
A gradient shadow was added to the picture of Borat once he was cut out from the white background. His shape was duplicated and affects were added to make it look like he would be standing in the sun a shadow would be behind him. That's pretty much it!

[ Radio Billboard ♫ ♪ ]


No real 'before photo' for this either. It's just a picture of a billboard added to it. Except for the fact that the Jam 93.3 logo on the shirt was hand made but adding some text and affects to it to make it look like it's really on the shirt. Then the picture of the kid and the shirt is added on the billboard and a black background is put on the other side with some text and the logo of the radio station.
WOOT!
8D

[ Cubone Stamp O.o ]

-Before-
-After-
Another stamp done similar to the Corki one. Uhm, nothing really different. A shadow added with the same text, just the picture looks different. The same poke holes type of thing on the end too. ;)


[ Kindle ]

-Before-
-After-
The before and after picture of the Amazon Kindle. ;D With the shadow affect on the bottom of the Kindle and the text added to show what it is and where it's available. Just pretty much flipped the Kindle upside down and wha-lah! :D There you go.

[ Beach Window ☼ ]

-Before-
-After-

So, this picture totally makes me wanna go back to the beach. We just added some photos in Photoshop and pasted them into a window and put a shadow around it. I thought it looked super cool and I like my other one that I did of the college too. I tried to make the text look all 'elegant' since this looks like a pretty fancy place in Flordia. :P


[ Cast Shadow! O: ]


This was a project where they provided the picture for you and the background is hand-made so there is no real 'before' photo. I liked doing the cast shadow a lot. It would be really great for AD's and for something in the picture you are trying to make 'stand out'.

[ Broadview University ]

-Before-
-After-

My future choice of College, woooooh! \o/
The window thing is pretty cool, it brings out a specific place you want in the picture.
I chose to do the mountains in the background because I thought it would look super pretty with the picture of Broadview I was using. Their weren't too many pictures of the college, so I didn't have a variety of what I wanted to put into the window that would fit right.


[ Corki Stamp! P: ]


-Before-




-After-


So, before and after picture of the stamp I did. I like how I did the text in red, white, and blue since it said USA on it. :P The words on the side are just kind of random. I think the holes to make it look like a stamp actually turned out very well, it wasn't too difficult at all even though from the front of the packet it looked like it could be.

[ LoL 8D ]

Alright, so there really is no 'before' picture in this.
It's a polaroid creation where you add several pictures that would match what you're sort of trying to create an AD for.
I chose to do an AD for Riot Games and the game League of Legends.
Just for like the New Champions that they've recently released.

AppleBee's [NomNomNom ^.^]

Apples Lunch & Dinner Menu. 8D
The Polaroid effect is pretty cool. Makes the pictures sort of 'pop' at you.
Again there isn't really a 'before' picture in this.
Another AD for Applebee's that the packet showed up.
Putting the multiple pictures in gets the point across.

[ True Blood DVD Menu >8D ]


[ Amazing show! ;D ]
I really like the whole idea of the DVD Menu and being able to able several pictures into one design. I made the affects rather dark and red because of the show being a Vampire show and all. :P I think the DVD Menu looks pretty cool. If this was an actual DVD menu the font probably would've been changed, but there aren't thousands to chose from that would match this kind of show.

[ Kingdom Hearts ] ♥


^ One of the best games every played on DS. 8D ^
Just destaturated the picture and made a new layer letting you use the brush to bring out the color. 
I really enjoy the colorizing technique. Makes certain objects in the photo pop out.
