2. Set the foreground and background colors

3. Go to Filter > Render > Clouds

Above are some examples I did.

Class Assignment 4: Photoshop Technique II

Thanks to Shane, I believe that the entire class learnt a lot about layer masks, which was once foreign to me.

  • Simply by revealing the mask, one can reveal or hide parts of the image using the Black/White brushes.

He highlighted the importance of understanding light - indicating that Shadows and Rim lights can be used to save us from flat and distasteful collages.

My attempt to use these methods in my last assignment above.

Blur as a concept.

“New York based Turkish artist Burak Arikan, has done plenty of scientific/cultural experiments, but the most visual (and attractive to me) is the Bored-er project:  ” When a digital camera is placed close to a computer screen we can  discover a new disharmony. The intersection of the limits of the devices – the camera’s zoom and the screen’s resolution – creates blurry images. Having world flags on the screen to which the camera moves too close reminds the problem of having physically distinct but politically blurry borders between nations.”
