Photoshop Tutorials

15/11/22

The first tutorial i am watching is Double Exposure

WWW: The mouth part of my face and the bit next to it look quite good i think.

EBI: I do more bloody parts on the white pieces and finish off the other side.

WWW: I thought the eyes went quite well same with the mouth.

EBI: i need to finish it more.

Photoshop skills task:

 03/11/22

LO: To use and develop creative techniques in photoshop.

All of these photos include some sort of red to show a form of blood and animal/human insides.
All of the title are in big bold and sometimes red letters to give/show scariness. In all the images there is a scary looking human or creature with blood to try and create fear just by looking at the poster.Red, white and black are used the most often.

MY HORROR POSTER:

scary Winnie the pooh

call it Winnie the boo

It will have the title in bold red letter and i will use the filter gallery on the photo and maybe others.

So i decided to change my idea to this.

WWW: I finished this quite fast and it only took me one lesson and i thought the photo that i had chosen was the perfect one to fit the title. the slogan at the top of my poster fits with the title too.

EBI: I think maybe next time i should use a better title font and maybe look at the opacity and colours on it.
