Week 6-Working with Photoshop, part 2


Jennifer Lopez is 1 of the most influential celebrities around today. She is someone who exudes confidence and flair that makes her stand out from the rest. She also owns her own clothing line, perfume, make several records and acted in a number of movies. The original image was cropped to focus as much as possible on Jennifer Lopez alone to emphasize her celebrity presence.


The above picture represents a game which I believe is called Mankind. I just used the clone-stamp tool to make the bottom part of the picture which was all black look brown so the picture looked kind of continous. Also, I went to Filter, Artisitc and selected Poster edges to give the picture a more cartoon feel which looks nice as graphics for the game.


Being popular usually means being liked by everyone. In high school, being popular can make your life so much easier because everyone looks up to you and wants to be your friend. Thats what I believe the above picture represents, hopefully. As I did not know what to do with this 1, I just enhanced it by going to Filter, Artistic and choosing Film grain to make it look different from its initial picture.

I guess that the Knagaroo is 1 of the most symbolic animals of Australia, thus the reason for chooding the above picture. For this 1, I only enhanced it by going to Filter, Artistic and then selecting Rough pastels. It was just to turn the plain picture into something more interesting and eye-catching I guess.


One of the most news-worthy stories today is about floods, especially in third world countries. The above picture clearly illustrates the seriousness of floods whereby property, life and nature are destroyed. For this image, I only used the clone stamp tool to get rid of any unwanted information to focus on the flooding.
Communication requires the receiver to effectively and intently listen and understand the message that the sender is trying to get across. The above picture shows just that. I used the clone stamp to get rid of a circular stamp like feature on the picture which served no purpose. I also removed small picutres of birds from the person's mouth to the other person's ear as it was kind of distracting.
Displayed above is a picture of 2 young girls hugging which symbolises the close friendship that both of them share. I chose this picture becuase they seem to be from different races and friendship is all about seeing past each others backgroud and accepting one another for who they are. I cropped the initial image which showed the full body picture of the girls into the 1 shown above to emphasize the closeness that they share with each other as friends. I also included the words "Friends Forever" to add a little colour to the picture.
