While creating this amazing beach masterpiece I used elements that you would commonly think of when you think about the beach. I incorporated a beach chair and beach umbrella using the AI Gnerative fill. All other items such as the beach ball, the table, the Pigeons/ Seagulls, the sandwhich and the coke bottle... I used Subject masking and layered each item ontop of other layers. The sky was somthing I used the magic wand tool to refine the highlights and mask the sky to look natural.
While creating the altered image collage, I love to incorporate bright colors and a pop of fun. Which is why I added bubbles (spheres), Gradients from one color to another, and motion blurs. On one of the images I used the filter gallery to select a cool outline filter to add a sketch type of effect/look. I masked multiple layers to add onto the images which created an amazing look. I put it all together and had to layer the gradients to make it all flow with eachother.
For this asssignment I was given three dis colored/ older images with specks and dust, cracks, and discoloration. I was able to use tools such as the object selection tool, the magic wand tool, the paint brush tool, the healing and stamp tool... to bring life back into these images. For my fourth retouched photo I had a raw photo I edited, color corrected, used a layer mask to add a gradient, along with text to add onto the picture.
When making a graphic in Photoshop that features a subject like Mr. Beast and includes some text, using layers for gradients, patterns, and clipping masks can really enhance the final design to set it all apart. Start with a gradient layer in the background to create a smooth color transition, which helps the main subject pop out and adds depth. Next, apply patterns to the text using clipping masks, which allows you to fit intricate designs into the text precisely, ensuring it remains eye catching yet readable. Keep every element like the background, person, and text on separate layers, so you can easily adjust things like transparency and placement without affecting the other parts of the design. This method not only boosts the visual impact but also ensures the message comes across clearly and attractively, keeping the design organized and flexible for any adjustments. This approach is perfect for making your design visually appealing and functionally effective, capturing attention while conveying your message succinctly.
