Animation 2

https://youtu.be/jXXDKITSgn0

For this project, the most challenging part was making it look realistic and not too choppy and fake.  At first, I moved the boats one at a time every couple seconds, and they were going too fast and looked fake.  I ended up just moving the boat for the last ten seconds only and then going back and making marks to move it up and down a little like it was bobbing.  I found animations a little challenging but think it is a really cool feature of Photoshop and skill to learn.

Collage

For my collage, I took the cheesy route and did a picture of my family and our family friends.  The pictures I used were sailboats, birds, us, the ocean, beach, and a sand texture.  The most challenging part of this project was making us look like we were really in the sand with the shadows.  It also saved a little blurry which I do not really like.

Magazine Cover

For my magazine cover, I decided to create a travel magazine.  I focused on the font style to try to find fonts which made it look like a real magazine.  I also wanted different fonts and colors to have specific things stand out such as the 15 and "The Caribbean".  I painted a shadow under my legs to make it more realistic, so it did not look like I was photoshopped into the picture.
