Blog Question 2

Ethics, to me, means what I believe is good and bad. It is my moral values and what I think the difference between right and wrong is. Aesthetics, to me, means what looks good and makes me happy. It is what I think looks correct. I think that it is okay to digitally manipulate a photo if you have the persons permission. If it is someone like a model it is both aesthetically and ethically correct to manipulate them. But if you don't have their permission it is not ethically correct. For example I don't think they should change photos of places or news stories. Especially pictures of war and crime. I think that these photos should not be manipulated because then they are no longer telling the truth to people.

Liquify Tool MMA fighter

Original

For this photo I used the liquify tool to make his
right arm larger and his left arm smaller.
I used the warp tool, bloat tool, and
pucker tool to do this. 

Blog Question 1

If you can digitally alter an image very quickly and easily, then photographic evidence doesn't mean much. It only takes us a matter of minutes to alter an image and we are not professionals. Because we can alter images so easily it is very hard to convict someone of a crime with only a picture. You need an eye witness to be 100% sure. If I was accused of a crime I would make sure to argue the case that the photo had be altered. I would tell them that i was Photo-shopped  into the picture and it wasn't even me there originally. Because of all of this photographic evidence is very hard to prove now.

Susan Blue

These pictures are of Susan Blue selling a Lamborghini and on the moon. for these pictures all we did was select her out of her original photo and then paste her in these. Then we re-sized her to make her look correct. Also, on the moon I added a speech bubble to her.

Lamborghini power clip

For this effect I took my picture of the edited Lamborghini, which i changed the colour on, and put it behind writing. To do this I took the Lamborghini picture and the added text in front of it. I then made the letter very large. After this I selected the letters using the magic wand and added a levels mask. Then I re-arranged the letters so they were near the bottom. Finally I joined the level mask to the Lamborghini picture and the text shows through. I then edited my text so it look a little better and I was done.

Derrick Rose Pop-out

This is a picture of Derrick Rose going for a slam dunk. To do this I first created multiple layers the same then  i created a frame around the bottom three quarters or him. Then I added a stroke to frame this part. Once that was done I altered the perspective of the frame so it appears somewhat flat. Then I selected the top half of him and used clipping masks to bring that half in front of the frame. After that i added a radial gradient with blue and green in the background.

6 colours of Lamborghinis

For this effect I took the original Lamborghini and changed the colour six times by using the replace colour option. To do this I had to use the eyedropper tool and select the Lamborghini. I then had to click the plus eyedropper and select the rims, reflection and any other part of the Lamborghini that hadn't already been selected. I then changed the colour of the six cars. Then I dragged and dropped them all into the same picture and re-sized them so they were the same. Then I added the price tags and the title.

Beach Party Vector Graphics

To create this image I first added the sun and then transformed it so that it apears as if it is shinning straight at the beach. I then added All of the words. Next, I modified the words so they had a small drop shadow and a slight bevel. This made them much easier to see and read. Then I added the banana and I changed it so it had a yellow neon glow and a yellow glass inside. After that is moved that layer so it was infront of the title layer but behind the who, what, where layer. I then added the dove in the background. Next I added The swimmer. I added a blue neon glow to him and a "toy" inside. Then I added the cupcake with a neon purple glow. Finally I added the feet and tryed to change the persepective so they apear on the ground.

Vegtable Face

To make this vegtable face we followed a tutorial. This tutorial was on selecting so all of the pieces were originally sperate. We first took the melon or his heda and moved it to the open space. Then we did the eyes. To do this we selected the blue berries using the eliptical tool and move them onto the orange rings. The we added the mouth by selecting the kiwi. After that we added the nose using the magic selection tool. Next I added the eyebrows by using the same tool. Then I added The bow tie using the lasso tool. Nect is used the the magnetic lasso tool to added his ears. Finally I added his hat and he was done.

Colour Splash

This is a colour splash of m&m's. To do this we took the original photo and made a copy of it. We then took the saturation all the way down so that the pic was black and white. This added a levels mask so it looked balck and white. We then used tohe opposite colour to drill holes into the mask so that the colour would shine through. That is how we got the colour to come through in only those parts.

3 Picture Blend



This picture is a 3 picture blend. To start I used the crop tool to stretch out the image so that both flags fit on the sides. Then I added a mask layer just below both flags. This made it so the gradient didnt cover the whole photo. Then I used the gradient tool to blend all the pictures together.



Mirrored Text

This is a mirrored text effect of my name. To do this I created a grey background and black top half. Then I wrote my name above those. Next I created a copy of my name and flipped it over. After that I reduced the opacity. Then i used the gradient tool to fade out part and blend them together.
