Assignment Week 7-Pen/LiveTrace/LivePaint
Part 1: Experiment w/the pen tool. I traced the grasshopper and filled w/a color & transparency so you could see the tracing.
Part 2: Using Live Trace. With a photo of a rudebeckia, I used the paint bucket and eye dropper tool to work with the colors of the flowers petals. I used the direct select to transform the petals by putting in spikes at the tips. I also used the delete anchor point tool along with the convert anchor point tool. I warped the inside of the flower with, Make with warp and then decided to delete the inside entirely. I changed the background using a garphic style and a gradient.
Part 3: Using Live Paint. I again used the photo of the grasshopper.

Winged Migration
Creating Perspective; After selecting the moth I then created multiple images giving them all their own layer. I had fun changing their sizes and using the transform tools and free transform.
The warp tool was especially helpful so all the moths didn't have the exact same appearance and I could played around with the illusion of changing their wings and direction of flight. I then attempted to create the illusion of a mini moth migration and made their sizes get smaller and changed their opacities as they flew to the background.

Week 5 Glazes
With my new selection, the moth, I played around with creating new layers for each one to give them each a unique look and give me the opportunity to get more familiar the tools in Photoshop and how to change colors with a selection using new layers.

Experimenting with Text
Well, it is definitely taking me more than three hours but the good news is I discovered some things about text. I am grateful for 2MPT and their tutorial on Text as it helped me a great deal.
Anyway, this first photo I had to change a few things. There is a sign under The World Flag that said Guatemala. Since I extracted the Guatemala flag and replaced it with the World Flag I now had to change the sign. So with a few layers the new sign reads now reads The World Flag.I also had to replace the mini Guatemala flag on the sign with a mini BLU Flag.
I then lightened the dark shadow of the flag and proceeded to add text. I created a circular path for; World Flag Flys in Philadelphia, and a straight path for; March 2007. I created layer styles and added a darker stroke, gradient overlay, color overlay, satin, texture, and outerglow. I felt it really let the text pop and gave it some added dimension. I picked this photo as I am really enjoying seeing The BLU Flag fly all over Philadelphia. When I first had the vision to create the flag I was shown the flag flying all over the world. So this is a great start.

World Flags showing up in the desert
In this image I decided to redden the door and window to brighten up the photo. I then thought it would be fun to extract a couple of World Flags to add to the photo. I found a photo of a girl walking with an Earth Flag while researching images on the web and the other I had of the BLU Flag. I thought it was funny to see a girl walking through the desert with a flagpole while glancing over to see the other world flag. I also lightened up BLU as it was much darker then the other flag and I wanted to depict them as equal. I had fun with this one.
