As we continue our exercises, let's turn to filters. We've done a ton with them and Layer Styles, and we'll continue with that, but let's look at not the Filter Gallery in Photoshop, but some of the possibly lesser used Filters. Some of these can change the emphasis of the image, the direction the eye travels in an image, or a Filter that ties in the entire image! Try these today along with the color splash technique using the Color Replacement Tool and our Selection Tools in order to create different images. Some that can help or work well - Gaussian Blur is a popular one, especially with wedding or portrait photographers, try it with a Selection and then Blur the edge of the Selection. Noise>Add Noise, Despeckle, Dust and Scratches are good ones and Pixelate>Color Halftone can give you that Pop Art Comic Effect. Play around with these with images of your choosing - What works, what doesn't, what do you like and want to incorporate?
Lastly, I will announce some awesome news tomorrow on our District Art Show Submissions - We may have had one that got an award...
A short week this week, let's start with some exercises and working with different images. We are also ready to incorporate more of the vector design awsomeness of Illustrator with package design and bumper stickers, but let's start with a simple trick, known as color splash.
This first image was taken in Beijing. See what you can do with the Color Replacement Brush with your colors being the default Black and White. Where you leave color will be where the emphasis is:
Examples:
We will then combine this technique with our Selection Tools to create movement and interest:
