ALBUM ART



I made a p cover for an album on  Photoshop. i wanted to explore the idea of psychedelic art.  I used the  quick selection tool ,layers, magic wand tool, erasers, shortcuts and adjustment of brightness, contrast, hue,  saturation to achieve this activity.  At first, I researched on the internet to find out the required dimensions for a graphic album art and my finding where 1600 x 1600 pixels which i used then  I selected pictures from the internet and an image of myself that i felt i could use to create. I made use of the “Rasterize Layer” option to start making changes to the images. Then the magic wand tool helped.  I then also used the option of the select mask tool to better fine tune my selection. The shortcut Ctrl+t allowed me to arrange the pictures in a more convenient way. I  modified the brightness, contrast  fill and opacity of the pictures to my preference. The title of the cover album was made with the type tool, then the words where quick selected  and cut out of a pill image to say the words, "SPACE NEEDS ME".  I also searched and added a png saying explicit content because of the psychedelic paraphernalia and give off a music album cover art feel.Those tools for editing pictures helped this project greatly and also helped in my understanding of the Photoshop editing app, so I was able to make the cover of the album that I was happy with.

ICE CREAM PARTY

I made a poster for an ice cream themed party on photoshop. I found images that worked well with the theme I wished to convey. I started by creating a new document and because it is a flyer and will be printed, I used the CMYK color mode. I then a dded Texture to the  background by adding an icream pattern backround which I then removed the original background from and played around with the fill and opacity, I selected some of the text with quick select then applied a rainbow gradient fill. I also searched on a png website and found a nice one to use. Then I added some text to the flyer that I further developed by turning the text into a clip mask and cutting out the words from the images of icream cones in a pattern. I made  use of bright pastel colours and I was pleased with my results

LAPLACE'S DEMON

I thought it would be interesting to create art on photoshop with a concept of mty choosing. i choose Laplace's concept because I wanted to work and create an image that didn't have as many interpretations and remakes.   "We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at any given moment knew all of the forces that animate nature and the mutual positions of the beings that compose it, if this intellect were vast enough to submit the data to analysis, could condense into a single formula the movement of the greatest bodies of the universe and that of the lightest atom; for such an intellect nothing could be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes." — Marquis Pierre Simon de Laplace hopefully this quote explains the intellect and creature that is referred to as Laplace's demon. I took a photograph of my self and pictures from NASA of
