Dear Ms. Dunning,
               Today we made cell phone covers in Photoshop. I created an alpha layer in channels and pasted a black and white picture to that layer and then I pushed the blacks in that picture. Next I found different backgrounds online, and then copied them to Photoshop and added effects to them. I then merged the layers and added a layer mask to the picture. We also organized the folders on FileZilla.

Dear Ms. Dunning,
                  Today I finished up my yearbook cover. I downloaded a font style form online and finished all the text I needed to do. I also used the golden duck that you posted online for the yearbook cover. I used a free background that I found online for my yearbook background. I couldn't stretch it for the whole background because it looked weird so I used eight different copies of the background and then blurred the edges.

Dear Ms. Dunning,
                      Today I started to worked on the yearbook project. I downloaded template today. It took about thirty minutes to download. I then downloaded the pictures I wanted to work with and started to put all of them together.

Dear Ms. Dunning,
                    Yesterday I worked on the movie poster assignment. I finished cropping my pictures in Photoshop yesterday. I took out the background and adjusted the brightness and contrast of the pictures. I based my movie poster on a hungry games movie poster.

Dear Ms. Dunning,
                   Today I worked on the yearbook poster. My group took pictures and we found the poster we wanted to work on. The movie my group chose was The Hunger Games.

Asymmetry and Symmetry

Dear Ms. Dunning,
                    Today I learned to create symmetrical and asymmetrical texts on photographs using Photoshop. I used tools like the pen tool, clone tool, create work path, text tool, effects, and brush tool.

Dear Ms. Dunning,
              Yesterday I learned about symmetry, asymmetry, and radial symmetry. I also learned how to write text in a circular path in Photoshop. I used the ellipse tool in path mode to create paths and then I used the text tool to write quotes in a circular path around my head.

Dear Ms. Dunning,
                        Yesterday I learned to do a cover for the office of student life. I also learned about different elements of design and how to download a custom font. For the color pop assignment I used a filter for one photos. I used a custom shape tool, pen tool, and layer masks to create the image. I also learned the importance of color in order to make something appealing.

Dear Ms. Dunning,
                  Yesterday I leaned about low-key and hi-key. Hi-key is a white on white image while low-key is a black on black image. While I took pictures yesterday I learned the importance of lighting in photography. The lighting can totally change the atmosphere in a photo. I used Photoshop to edit the images and make them more hi-key or low-key. I used Photoshop tools like dodge and burn tools, and masks to edit the photos and make them more hi-key and low-key.

Dear Ms. Debbie,
                           Yesterday I learned how to retouch a photograph using Photoshop. I learned to use to tools like healing brushes, patch tool, clone tool, filters to retouch photos. I also learned that the end product should look like the person. I should be light with the tools I use so that people might be able to recognize the person from the picture. I also learned that I shouldn't totally erase wrinkles or freckles.
