19 : USB Drive
I really enjoyed doing this project. I learned a lot in how to use Adobe Illustrator. I liked this project because I learned how to make objects look 3-Dimensional and give the effect that light is shining on it, when in reality it's not.

18 : Soft Skin Glow
First what I did was open a picture of someones face. Next I added the blur filter to the image. I then added the screen filter to the new image. Finally I used the brush tool and then used the air brush tool to remove the unnecessary effects such as the mouth and face to get the image above.

17 : Quick Mask
First what I did was find a picture with a person's face. Then you switch to Quick Mask mode and use the brush tool to select the region of the face you want to choose, in my case I colored the teeth. After this I invert it and choose the gradient tool which gave me the above image.

16 : Smart Filter
First what I did was open an image of a train as a smart object. I then added the motion blur filter. I made sure that the foreground was black so when I use the brush, I am able to erase the parts of the image that I don't want blurry. After I got the result that I wanted, I finished and saved it.

15b : Displacement Tool (Face)
To do this assignment I first got a picture of my face and a picture of a brick wall. I opened a new file in photoshop and added both pictures to the file. I made a copy of the brick wall and desaturated it. I then added the hard light effect to both the picture of my face and the copy of the brick wall which gave me my final image above.

14 : Halloween Jack-O-Lantern
First I took a picture of a pumpkin that I liked and placed it on a black background. Next I used the pen tool to draw in the facial features. After I got the shapes that I liked, I added effects to the eyes, nose and mouth so that it looks like it's glowing. Finally I typed "Think Halloween" on the bottom of the picture and used the paint brush to add light under the pumpkin.
