I chose to base my project off of astrology because I think it is interesting. I believe that when and where we are born definitely have effects on who we become as a person. For my first layer on my face I used a photo of stars taken the day I was born from the NASA website. In the background, I used my constellation- Taurus. The symbol of the Taurus is a bull to represent stubbornness, so I added bullhorns on my head as if it was a headband. To finish it off I found "Taurus" written out, and masked that over the layers in the corner. I like the color scheme that it ended up being- the blues and purples and whites, I think it contrasts good against me. I had a hard time figuring out a good way to mask the stars onto my face without losing my own features but after playing with some of the overlay tools. The horns were apart of a larger logo, but I masked out the extra parts and curved the edges to look like a headband.

    I think this came out really good. The stars on your face look really good and realistic and do not overpower the image of your face underneath. You also did a really good job masking yourself into the image. I do not have any suggestions, I think everything looks really nice and polished.

Business Cards

INSPIRATION-> FINAL PRODUCT-> EST TIME: 3 hours For my business cards I chose 3 different styles and vibes to do. My first one I chose a brighter blue color because not only is it my favorite color, it is appealing to look at and is frequently used in traveling ads. I put a white rectangle in front of a photo to contrast and add layers. I chose a nice and clean font, easily readable but still pretty to look at. The black and white one is my least favorite, I expected it to come out a lot better than it did. I feel like this would be better suited for more of a STEM business, not a creative, traveling business. STEM is more "serious" and by the books, where as a traveling agency has that but is appealing to peoples desire to see beautiful things in the world. The final one is my favorite. I love the minimalistic vibes, the neutral color scheme and clean font. I think the way the back is set up is cute and still gets the information across easily.

  I used 2 generic photos to create something far more interesting. The simple cloud or single tree standing near sunset is a typical desktop background, however I overlaid the cloud over the leaves of the tree and changed the Color Balance to add more of a pink, cotton candy look. I used the eraser tool around the blue clouds, with a low opacity to keep the fluffy, cotton ball- like look. To fix the background where the leaves poked out, I used the Clone Stamp tool and selected parts of the background to cover up the leaves. I think it came out pretty, and almost magical.
