For my advertisement I choose to make a movie slide show trailer. I choose this because I really liked this movie and felt that a lot more people should see it. To make this I used both Photoshop and flash from adobe to make my advertisement.

 I used the crop tool to crop the pictures to fit in the canvas. I used the paint brush to paint the background black for the picture of the movie title. I used the eraser to erase the parts I did not need. I used the text tool to write one girl..., and one dream... I used the free transform tool, the selection tool, move tool, create motion tween, and create new symbol in making the picture slide show. I also used the rectangle tool in making the one dream picture.

The tutorial I used was summer flash banner from this website http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorials/flash/animation?page=1 To make the slide show type advertisement. This website gives you the steps you need to make a moving picture.

I created this advertisement of Carl Casper’s Car Show for people to come see the Old Guys Car Club because the more attraction you get to your group the likeliness of your group to win is at a higher chance. The target audience is for people who go to car shows. I used the text tool to explain what was going on. I used the blur tool to get a gray color in between the black and white. I used a paint brush tool that looks like stars as an extra in the background. I used the crop tool to take some of the unnecessary white space that I did not need. I used the shadow tool to make the logo stand out more and on the stars to make them more 3D.

My logo's purpose is for my dad's car club that he and a couple of friends get together and join as a group into Carl Casper's Car Show. My logo communicates the purpose by showing a picture of an old guy who is holding a cup of coffee standing by his "old car", usually the car is a classic and the car is not made any more in that particular style. I choose these colors because my dad usually wears dark clothing and a pair of jeans most of the time, and his "classic" car was red so that is why I choose these colors.

In my logo I used line to show where the car is stationed at. I used shape for the "old guy's" head, a circle. I used emphasis on the car where the lines of the car door, window, and head light is to make them stand out but still look like it is a part of the car. I used contrast by putting pink in the window because the car is red on red which means it is red on the inside and out and the pink resembles the red because when you look into a window at a certain distance it is not going to be the exact color it actually is.

Before

After

I feel that my overall transformation went well. Although my face line was still visible so i had to use the smudge tool to make it more realistic.

My perspective of pictures in the magazines change because they can manipulate the image to where the body and or face can look absolutely perfect. It changes to where now I do not believe in what they are showing me as the front cover.

The perfect body image does not exsist. At least not in pictures anymore, there is too many to tools where you can change the picture to make you or whoever to look better.

I think what I did well was changing my eye color and putting my face image on the background face to make it look like one face.

One thing I need to improve on is using the make-up. Another thing is the eye make up as well.

Photoshop has a bunch of nifty tools that you are able to use that can make the appearance of your picture look better than it actually is. Some tools that are available are the spot healing tool, red eye tool, the color adjustment tool, the sharpening tool, and the cropping tool. Photoshop has many more tools as well but I did not use any of these tools in the pictures I used. In my collage these are some of the tools I used to make the picture better.

                In some of my pictures I used the spot healing tool. I used this tool because in the pictures I had taken people had blemishes on their face, and nobody like a blemish on their face, especially in a picture. I hate it when you take a picture of somebody and then after I take it they have red eyes, it makes the look demonic. Luckily Photoshop offers the red eye tool to where you can fix it to where the person or people in your picture or pictures do not have red eyes. In all my pictures I used the color adjustment tool. I used this tool because nobody has perfectly white teeth in my pictures. When using this tool you are able to make the appearance of your teeth a lot whiter than they actually are. In one of my pictures I used the sharpen tool because it was a little fuzzy. So when I used this particular tool it cleaned up the blurry edges a little bit. Finally I used the crop tool. I had to use the crop tool to cut out things that did not really have anything importance in the picture or I needed it crop it out because the picture was too big for the canvas.

                The top right hand picture depicts the photography element of balance because the picture wasn’t taken straight on. It was a bit of an angle. Another picture depicts framing because when you first look at it you notice Jenna and when you look at it a second time you notice the background. The background shows she is in class. Therefore the background is just as important as the focus.

Because of Photoshop we are able to make are pictures better. We are able to manipulate them to make them look better.

This picture is an example of angle because of how big her feet looks compared to her body which looks a lot smaller because of the way i postioned the camera.

This picture of my dog's toy is an example of simplicty because you get just a picture of just the toy and the ground but the main focus is the toy.

This picture is an example of lines because of every way the coins direction is in and the curve around the blue container and the lines going up and down on the clear container.
