Spontanious Audio







This was my first illustration on the computer. I took some elements from it and put on a glowing filter. I liked how it looked like a light show or a party. The songs I picked out are more upbeat and generally songs that make me happy.

PhotoShop Tutorial

I used this tutorial--> http://www.adobetutorialz.com/articles/30970758/1/how-to-use-texture-effects-to-create-beautiful-compositions-photoshop-cs5
And I used the same picture for the dancer.. Because I couldn't find another good dancer picture.
I think it turned out really cool!
And the tutorial was fun :3

Strange floating head

So... i dont understand why the tutorial thing had me make a floating head but I guess it works?

3D Splash tutorial

City


I just made this because I thought it would be cool. I just made it completely random. I really like how it turned out.

Photomontage

I wanted to make something kinda far out so once i found the background layer i just added random things as they popped in my head then i decided the last image should be of the L.A. skyline over the mountains to make this place a sort of secluded odd location. My inspiration just came with each image I thought up. It was pretty fun

Brett Kautzmann Tutorial


Rubik's Cube

Retro Image


This is the tutorial I am working on. It is not done yet but it looks good.

Evil in the fog



I wanted to make something scary and dangerous

God Makes Man


I was inspired to make this piece by browsing through some of the pictures available for this project. I found the hands drawn out in this image and knew I wanted them holding something, so I decided to make an image of people being created. The montage took longer than I had hoped, but it turned out well

Daniel L: Abstract Tutorial Result

gear head

this photomontage was inspired by some ink sketches i did over the summer and i think it came out all right the only problem was finding the right pictures for the project. i think it came out all right please leave a comment Below

Richner Montage


I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do when I first started my montage. I added all of the brighter type images first and felt that the montage needed more. So I then layered the unicorn over them to create more of a whimsical feeling and added fireworks as well, but they're really pale so they are really just giving the pic more depth. I didn't have too much trouble creating it.

This is one of my home projects in it isn't compatible with Maya so ill just post pics of it from my house

Assignment for September 23, 2011

Today you will be working in Photoshop. Your first goal is to finish your Photomontage and any other missing assignments in my class. Once this is completed I would like you to complete a tutorial from one of the websites below. The goal of today is to explore Photoshop by trying out filters, effects and other cool techniques. This will help you with your next assignment of creating a better CD package design or Illustration. Even if you don’t completely finish a tutorial I want to see what you created by posting it to the blog. To do this you will go to File > Save for Web and Devices > Choose Jpeg > Save > Desktop and title the work > Post to the blog.

Please help each other out and I will be back on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Mr. E

Copy and paste the links below. You can also try and search for other Adobe Photoshop tutorials on Google, but don’t spend all of class doing this.

Photomontage


I did this pretty much just by random i found a pretty forest and thought of fairies and went from there.

Climbing Moss photo montage Erin

I don't know what it's necessarily about. I guess it's about, "Dang nature, you scary" . The people are very small in the image while the animals and trees are significantly larger. But people are still going out and doing it. I don't really know. Whatever. There's a unicorn in the background.

Photo montage Shay

Well why i have wolf ears and a tail is because it's my persona on this website i go on. The white wolf because i love wolves and the heart because well i dont know it kinda fit i guess.....and the rest was i dont know looked cool

cody photo mantage

i just picked random pictures i thought would look cool in the same background, almost like its a different world that we don't know about.

Pike's Montage


To tell the truth this was inspiration free (except the raptor and cross hail raptor Jesus!) I just made a huge pile of random bull crap and made a exploding watermelon, it does look good though


I really like how this turned out. It's a lot cooler then I thought it was going to be. I didn't really have inspiration I just went with it, and the more i added the more ideas it gave me.
This is my Mounted Mecha-spider! It took me 1 day. I just picked the images i thought were cool and stuck them together.

I didnt really have an inspiration, i just created whatever my mind came up with. I put Charlie from Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia because he is my favorite character.

nile river robert hartnett

i think that was my i idea because i like the animal fish. and think this is very unik

Photomontage!




I am doing another project involving surrealism. I wanted to incorporate things that can be in a desert, but not in the middle of it randomly all at once. I had to redo a lot of things because I wasn't happy with some images I wanted in there or the shadows were not correct. All in all it was a fun practice.

Devin Photomontage

I chose to make a dog park because I love pets. I have lived with dogs all my life. I love every dog I have ever owned. I have owned every dog in this picture. The dogs aren't really mine I just have owned every breed in this picture. I what to own a dog park some day, so that I can play with all of the puppies and big dogs.

Logo

I made the "Terror Squad" logo for the starting defensive lineman on the football team.  We are one of the best in the state and we call ourselves Terror Squad.  This all started in wrestling, because all but one of us are upper-weight wrestlers.

Photo Shop

This is my photo shop art, I did this because I thought that it would be unquek if people from earth discovered another planet with life, and civilizations on it. So I showed that hear.

Montage

I made this montage like this because, I just wanted to make it kind of look like what it would if it was real. I also tried to make it random when I was adding the pictures. It was an interesting project. I liked being able to put what I wanted on it. This project was fun. I will use this again in the future.

Photo Montage

I am pretty happy about how my photo montage turned out. It may look like I only have 6 pictures but the sky in the background used to be just blue . My Photo montage doesn't really make any since but that is whats fun about doing this.

photomontage

I created this because I thought it would look cool.

Seattle Dreams

I've always wanted to go to Seattle, so that was one main inspiration. I like pictures that are all nonsense, but go together, so I tried to recreate that. These pictures were all picked at random because I thought they all looked interesting.

Brett_Kautzmann Photomontage

This project was very interesting and fun to do. I like being able to choose images and place them on a background to make a random picture. I will use this in the future.

Photo Montage

When I did this... I guess I was kinda feeling lost in the world or something. So it has some meaning to it. The girl trying to find her both and it's blocked by the mystery being. So ya. There's your story to it. :)
And during this whole thing I had no troubles! It was actually really easy YAY!

DL: Mt. Kraken Photo Montage

I wanted to come up with something original. I had an idea for a song called "Mt. Kraken" and I thought that it was a good enough song that I should make a poster of it. I did the best I could to come up with something realistic, but ended up becoming a giant man-shaped anthill. But, hey! It's original and I think it's awesome!

This is the final of Stewie Sauron. I really like how it came out.
It took me 2 class periods to do this. Some of the guys in class helped me with the idea.
I chose to do laxatives because in my design, I had the idea of smooth move. Elmore came up and said smooth? Like laxatives? So I ended up doing a logo for "Smooth Move Laxatives". I chose to do a cup and something "smooth" coming out. Hence, the goopy "Smooth Move" coming out of the cup. I chose green because it's the color of slime and I chose the cup to be red-purple color because it's the opposite of green.

Did this today in class(:
