20: Wireless Phone

As of this Adobe Illustration assignment we learned how to create an Phone by combining and/or take away different shapes as well as additional tool, effect, and menu button. To begin we first mainly focus on creating the body of the phone with a rectangular shape and with the rectangular shape we transform it into a round rectangle by Going to Effect > Stylize > Round Corners and set the Radius. Straight after that we could go to Object > Expand Appearance and fill the shape with the desire color. To Minimize the copy we select the rounded rectangle and go to Object > Path > Offset Path and set the Offset. With that done we then start filling in the gradient for the shape. To create the function buttons we begin using the Pathfinders: the Minus Front to subtract certain shape from the compound(Subtract Circle above the rectangle) and also the Divide tool to delete the surplus shape. Additionally we start making the round menu button and the number key pad. For the Round Menu button we created a Gradient Ring with black 50px by 50px circle with the Ellipse tool (L), then copy the circle using Control + C followed by Control + F, turn off the Fill Color, and apply a 1px Stroke. With the shape still selected we could go to Object > Expand and fill with Linear Gradient color. Furthermore after creating the first number key we could Duplicate it or make copy of it by first group the shape we create to make the number key, then select the group and go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform and enter the setting for number of Copies, Moves: Horizontal Pixel, and Vertical Pixel. Lastly we start creating the Speaker and the mic for our Phone. To give the illusion of a depressed speaker we created Gradient Mesh to redefine the topography of the OVAL. Then we create a Round Rectangle shape for the mic of the phone.

19A: Draw out your last name in Illustrator --- 19b: learn about Minus Front and Divide in Pathfinder

Pathfinder effects let you combine multiple objects using one of ten interaction modes.This include operating the Minus Front which the selected shapes, takes the bottom-most shape (in your Layers) and subtracts all other selected shapes from it and also the Divide tool to separates the selected shapes into parts, which take on the overlapping color.
By utilizing the use of Pathfinder in this Adobe Illustration Task we were able to draw out our last name with Various Shape in many ways to get our resulted letter. Save As .AI, .PDF, & JPEG

18: Adobe Illustrator - USB drive

In this assignment we create a USB Drive through Adobe Illustration. We first make the body of the USB by creating a Rectangle and a Oval, then have them united through Pathfinder. With that done we start filling in the gradient color. In the next step we start building the tip of the USB by creating 3 Square of similar Size then place them on the right position by clicking Horizontal Align Center and Vertical Align Center. Lastly at the finishing steps we start designing the center of the USB drive by first creating a round rectangular shape. After that we go to Object > Path > Offset Path to create a smaller copy of the shape above it and we can start adding in the gradient and text.

17: soft skin filter via layer mask

In this Adobe Photoshop Assignment we add a soft-focus effect to a photo portrait to minimizes skin imperfections and also adds a romantic glow to the subject’s skin and still keeps the subject’s main features in focus. These effect Include adding Gaussian Blur, layer mask and Screen Mode to the layer that give it a bright glow effect. To create the final effect we use a soft-edged brush  to outline the eye area on the background copy layer mask.

14a & b Displacement

         For this task we are going to create a painted effect look to our selfie by overlaying an image distorted with a Displacement Map. First we open up a Flag that we selected from google, in this case i used the US Flag. Then we can start changing blending mode to hard light, desaturate it, and filter with Gaussian Blur. For the next part we require the use of Displace filter. The Displace filter is one of several Photoshop filters that require the use of a displacement map, which works like a texture map, placing the image over a grid that creates a textured look. So by using this filter we can place the flag texture over our selfie to create a dramatic effect to our image.                   Save As .PSD & .JPG

15: Motion Blur via Smart filters

By applying the usage of Smart filter we create a Motion Blur Image through Photoshop. Instead of Using normal Filter we use Smart Filter that help offer adjustment without compromising any pixel Data. It further allow us to add other filter on top of it and without much hardship we can remove and hide Smart Filter and continue editing the setting to achieve different result. For this Task, before we use a smart filter, we open up a Moving object with an background and apply motion blur filter. With that done we then can use the smart filter and the brush to erase the blur on the moving object to make it seen like the object is in motion.

16: Quick Masking to add a desire effect

In this Adobe Photoshop Assignment we apply the use of Quick Mask to assist with our work. Quick Mask is a mode to convert a selection to a temporary mask for easier editing. Instead of using the marquees or lasso tool that is harder to make selection of part of the area you want, Quick Mask allow you to edit only part of the picture. In this case we only select the teeth area of the subject to apply a digital tooth whitening process.
