How I Compleated The Pictures, 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.

1.

I took a picture of the Juniors, used the circular marque tool, opened up a new document cut out a circle of just the Juniors then put it in the new document. Cut out a flower and added it to the image using the lasso tool. Now I have the flowers and the circular picture of the Juniors. After that I highlighted certain portions of the picture of the seniors in a circular shape and changed the coloring making it more sepia toned or more vibrant and neon colored.

2. For picture number two I took a picture of the seniors and did what I did in picture one except I didn't add the flowers and I did a lot more editing on the color changes. I did very extreme color changes highlighting certain circles for the effect shown in the picture and changing the color scheme. The change (to make a picture more sepia or neon toned) is shown on the layers pallet and you just drag the scroll bar to how intense you want to change. Then in the end I cut out a peace sign and inserted it in the peace sign, then outlined it with the bright pink paint brush tool.

3. This image (image three) is a picture of me and two of my friends. I lightened the picture by using the lightening/ darkening option displayed on the layers pallet. Then I did a very simple thing and just used the paintbrush tool (with a bright pink coloration), made it larger and just drew in the "LOVE" lettering along with the heart located on the top left hand corner.

4. For number three I also lightened the overall image, but not by much. I used the crayon effect and applied it to the entire image. Which is why the image looks grainy. Then I used the stamp tool and made the main color a hot pink,which is how I got the leaves all over the image. After that I used the paint brush tool and used the same coloration as the leaves to paint the "Juniors 11'" After this I cut out a peace sign used in a previous picture with the marquee tool and dragged it into the other image of me and my friends standing on a roof-top. After this I outlined the inner boarders with the hot pink I used on the leaves and on the "Juniors" logo.

5. For this post I found two pictures off of google images of the peace sign, and the other more decorative peace sign with fingers and cut them out using the Marquee tool, which attaches to the color and makes it very easy to cut something out. Then I dragged the images onto the original picture of me: Lilia, Ian and Giacomo and after that I colored around the pictures with the paintbrush tool using a dark black and blue color, a mixture of the two together.
