Photoshop

In 2D digital design we have moved on from illustrator to photoshop. The change is a bit hard for me I admit, layers are so much more important in photoshop. I am REALLY missing the ability to just MOVE shapes with out having to click on the layer and then select the object. This is not to say that I am not having fun with photoshop, because MAN AM I HAVING FUN. Our first project, our warm up project really, was just to take the picture of the girl and make her dramatic and flawless. Most photoshoppers would be all, "Oh thats soo eeeasy" or "thats boring". NO it is REALLY really fun. I have been working on this girl nonstop just for the heck of it since 9am Wed. the 5th. I make believe that I'm working on America's next top model and just smile at the power I hold. I can make the pasty turn tan, the blemished turn barbie. It's great and, if done right, it can take up lots of that pesky free time that I have every other school day. We are not totally sure who the girl is but we have theories... like it's our teachers girlfriend/sister/friend or a random myspace pic. And thats just our warm up project! Our actual project is to create a realistic picture of either an extra terrestrial sighting in the Twin Cities, or a Lake monster in superior. I have not yet begun to enjoy this project.
