Puppet warp text tutorial

For my third photoshop tutorial, i watched the video on puppet warping text by Dave Cross. In the video, Dave shows how you can play with words and make them sort of describe themselves. I like the video tutorials because i am more of a visual learner and it was very easy to understand. I think this is very useful in making banners or titles for things and just playing around with the different anchor points.

Photoshopuser.com tutorial

For my photshopuser.com tutorial, i chose the puppet warp tip by Matt Kloskowski. He showed me that if you take a picture and make it a specialized object before warping it, you can select specific anchor points where you want to bend the picture. I chose a picture of skydivers and moved their arms, legs, and torsos around to change their positions. This tutorial definitely makes the puppet warp tool a lot more effective in specific places.

Windows vista background tutorial

In replacement of one of my photoshopuser.com tutorials, i did a project from a tutorial i found on Stumble Upon. There were fifteen different light tutorials, and i chose the one that models the windows vista background. The original picture was of a futuristic city, but i blurred the photo and followed numerous steps of changing color pallets  and meshing to produce the final outcome, i think its pretty cool.

chocolate chair

For my practice chair project, i worked with my bestfriend hamilton and made a chocolate chair. We added a drop shadow and hopefully the next one will be better.
