1.- What shapes did you use?
- i used the star and moon shapes, as well as a lightning bolt. i also used paw prints and a trademark symbol.

- i chose to use purple because its my favorite color, and i used bright neon like colors for the shapes because they would stand out against a purple background.

3.- How can you have make it better?
- i could have used more shapes and maybe a bigger variety of colors in this lab.

4.- What was your inspiration?
- to create the thing that the lab requires.

5.- Are shapes difficult to use? why?
- no the shapes are not difficult to use . the photo shop options make it very easy to use and they give you a big variety of shapes so its hard to use the same shape twice.

In this term in Multimedia, our central area of focus was on using photoshop. we learned about many of the tools and how to apply them to different projects. One of the major projects involved using masks in photoshop.
A mask in Photoshop takes the image, and selects a certain area and makes it its own layer without interrupting the part of the picture that is not selected so you can make edits to the background. for example, with my project 2, i selected the whole baby tiger, and made it a layer mas so i can adjust the background without effecting the tiger itself. The color the selection makes is red, distinguishing it separate from the whole image. the white and black areas represented in the layer mask options is the background/foreground colors.
in mask mode, you get to use many tools in order to edit your photo. One i used was the ying yang tool which has a vast amount of options. Such as contrast, and black and white. Another tool i used was the Text tool to input text in my picture. it helped enhance the image. the adjustment layers i created kept the image from editing things i didn't intend to edit. it also gave me more layers to work with. in the end even though mask mode was a easy way to select, i found that the lasso was easier, but the mask was more precise.

the point of this project was to learn how to work in quick mask mode. i chose my favorite animal, a snow tiger and used the quick mask tool to cut out the image of the leopard. then i duplicated the background image. then, i went into quick mask mode and cut out the image. then i used the 'add layer mask button'. i duplicated my backround layer and re-labeled it for my effects. then i used the ying yang symbols and created an adjustment layer. this made my image look black and white. i did it again with a diffrent adjustment layer i took the brightness layer down and brung the contrast up. then i added a layer of text by clicking the f button.

1. the objective of the task was to mask my face and put it on another persons body.

2. i chose my favorite actress Sanna Lathen. i used her because shes pretty and successful.

3. it turned out okay. our skin pigmentation s are different so it looked a little funny but besides that it came out alright.

4. the cutting out of my head was the hardest part.it was hard to get around every part of my head without any white spaces.

5. i would cut out my head more precisely and use someone with the same skin color as me.

for this lab, i got a picture of my favorite basketball player ; renee montgomery. i then made 5 copies of the layers and moved them in a diagonal position, and put the original picture in the top right hand corner. for the first picture, i made it black and white by de-saturating the image. for the second image, i saturated the image to 100 percent. for the third image, i replaced the main color with white and also made it brighter. for the last one, i changed the hue around and got that result.
