This year, I took Foundations of Digital Design as one of my electives in High School. This is where I learned how to use Lightroom, Canon Cameras, and Photoshop!
Here, I will showcase everything I made in Photoshop this year!
First ever Photoshop Design: Picnic
This was my very first thing I ever made in Photoshop. We had to take an image of a picnic and add an orange, Pineapple, Banana, and Apple to the picnic. This assignment was used to teach us how to use different basic selection tools!
Flowers
For this assignment, we had to take an image of a flower and use every selection tool and showcase them beside each other along with text.
4 Interests Assignment
in this assignment, we had to make a design featuring 4 things we’re interested in. And here, I added the Mortal Kombat logo, Xbox Controllers, the Adobe Flash icon, and Homelander from my favorite TV show The Boys!
Superhero Party
For this assignment, we had to take 4 superheroes and put them in a party. I included Peacemaker from the Suicide Squad, Deadpool, Omni-Man from
Invincible, Spider-Man, and Homelander (I told you I love The Boys)
Llama Assignment
for this assignment, we were learning how to select strains of hair. And we did this by selecting a Llama with our own twist (I brought the Llama to McDonald’s)
Quote Assignment
for this assignment, we were learning how to use text and different effects. And we did that by having to make a design of a quote. I decided to choose a quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with some images of him in the background.
Playing Card Assignment
For this assignment, we had to make a playing card of ourselves. So I took this image of myself from the 8th grade (I was dressing up silly for the last day of school) and became the self-proclaimed world record holder of the most deviled eggs eaten in one Thanksgiving dinner (I think I ate like 40 or something I don’t remember)
Masking Assignment
for this assignment, we were learning how to mask objects which essentially is just an easier way to remove an images background. We had to use this image of warfare and put this football guy in there. Then we had to put our own twist to it.
Cabin on Fire
For this assignment, we were learning how to blend. We did that by taking an image of fire with a black background. Typically, that would be a real hassle to select out of its black background. But blending actually made it really easy! Then we had to add our own thing to it.
Movie Poster: Final Assignment
for our final assignment, we had to make a design of a movie poster. I had to use everything we learned in the semester and put it all together to make this.
I am really hoping I get into Digital Design 2 next year. And if I do, I’ll make another one of these!
