I started sketching some buildings and my creative mind took over and added some graffiti. So I found an image of a brick building and a tutorial on adding graffiti to walls. (Link for Tutorial <a href="http://www.dreamdealer.nl/tutorials/graffiti_with_photoshop.html" target="_blank">here</a>.)<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then found a graffiti maker (link <a href="http://www.graffiticreator.net/" target="_blank">here</a>) and played around with the settings until I came up with something I liked. I cropped the background image and followed the tutorial for placing it on the brick wall.<br />

Depending on the type of storm, a flood can also accure. That is what I decided to depict in my image this week. I started sketching some images dealing with water and flooding and rain. After finding a tutorial for a flooded city (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loMZ2A5BLdY" target="_blank">link here</a>) and a tutorial for rain (<a href="http://photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/photo-effects/rain/" target="_blank">link here</a>) I found my two main images, New York City and an Ocean image. <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Original Ocean Image</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then cut out the sky from the New York Image. Placing the Ocean image overtop I decided which buildings would appear above water level. I used the quick selection tool to select the different buildings and delete the selection from the Ocean image.<br />
<br />

To make this image more realistic I added some rain. I followed the tutorial and darkened the sky by painting with a lower opacity black brush.<br />

People whispering behind each others backs, spreading secrets and rumours. That is what I really tried to focus on for this image. I didn't want to do something cliche like a hand covering a mouth whispering into someone else's ear. I wanted a more abstract feel to the image. I first found an image of a girl with smoke rising from her mouth and a tutorial to create smokey text. (Tutorial can be found <a href="http://abduzeedo.com/smoke-type-photoshop-10-steps" target="_blank">here</a>.)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fallenangel1333/8566228777/" target="_blank" title="Original Image (Whisper) by fallenangel1333, on Flickr"><img alt="Original Image (Whisper)" height="374" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8523/8566228777_e8784521aa.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Original Text Tutorial Image</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then cropped the image to the size I was looking for and added a gradient overlay for a dramatic lighting effect.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then used a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to boost the Cyan colour. I added a blue photo filter and another Hue/Saturation layer to reduce the red of the girls' lips.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Image with adjusted colours. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then used the text tool to individually type the letters of Shhhhh and placed them in the smoke, making the letters each bigger as they moved farther away from her lips. I then followed the tutorial to make the text look like smoke. I used a motion blur, a wave distort filter, a gaussian blur and linear dodge and colour dodge blending mode to get this effect. I also added a blue colour overlay to fit in better with the smoke she is breathing out.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then decided that my image needed a quote at the bottom to communicate the message I was trying to get across. "It starts with a whisper" is a strong quote that was direct enough without being to forward. Like I said, I wanted an abstract image to make the viewer think. I used the same tutorial and steps while adding a render clouds filter and some smoke brushes as well.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Below is a screen shot of the final photoshop document. I believe the message is clear that although whispers may start off small and harmless they can grow and find their way into the unintentional ears of others and can be hurtful. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can shatter the soul." Bullying is a serious matter and I hope this image made you think more about how whispering and bullying can go hand in hand.<br />

These past weeks I decided to work on something involving the word wings. I found an interesting tutorial on creating a statue with wings, which you can find <a href="http://www.photoshoplady.com/tutorial/turning-a-model-into-a-nice-angel-statue/4269" target="_blank">here</a>.

I found an image of a nude model and removed the watermarks and background. I then found an image of wings.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>I placed the two images together, converted it to black and white then added some texture of rocks and a wall overtop to give the model a stone feel.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then found an image of a park with a rock I could place my statue on. I did some blemish removal and placed the statue on top of the rock and made it blend together as the rock was a different colour than the statue.<br />

Ocean or Myth?<br />
That was my choice.<br />
I decided to go with Ocean as it would be easier to design something event related and plus, I love the water.<br />
I then had to figure out what media I was working with. I want to go into event planning but how could I demonstrate my graphic design skills to boost the little skills I know in event management? I started drawing cake designs and centre pieces and party favours (pic 1) but it's one thing to design them and another to make them come to life, which I really didn't have the time or money to do. So the next option was print media, design invitations, name cards and other print related things need for parties. So I sketched this really neat invitation (pic 2) for a Bon Voyage Party and I was going to make it a pull out card so when you pulled the cork out of the bottle the scroll in the bottle would have all the info of the party. I started to design it but I was limited with the resources I had. I gave up.<br />

I was really frustrated. I started googling random things that had to do with the ocean, I then came across tutorials for photoshop. This got me thinking, I love photoshop so why not use this as a chance to further my knowledge in photoshop and learn some new things. So I set off and found a really interesting tutorial that I could modify to include ocean. Link is <a href="http://psd.fanextra.com/tutorials/photo-effects/create-an-abstract-sea-on-land-illusion/" target="_blank">here.</a><br />

<br />
I used an image I found on google of someone holding scuba goggles.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then removed the water mark using the clone brush tool and using a mask I hid the background.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then found another goggle image of a beach and placed it behind the goggles. I then placed a smaller image of the "Lost City of Atlantis" in the goggles, matching it up with the horizon line of the ocean. I guess in a way my image includes myth as well.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
I then found a tutorial for water text (<a href="http://www.photoshop-dragon.com/Tutorials/Text_Effects/Wet_Text.htm" target="_blank">link</a>) and used that for the title "The Lost City of Atlantis".<br />

I'll start with something simple, My name is Tina Clark, I am 19 years old and am currently at Mohawk for Graphic Design. Graphic Design is great and I have learned a lot but it's not something I want to do with my life. I am not ready to start working yet. I was in co-op for a few weeks and decided to come back to school in order to get my diploma faster and move on to something new. I am not ready to start working 9-5 yet, I still want to explore the world and study new things until I find something I am really good at. Next year I hope to get into the Event Management course at Mohawk. I really love to plan parties :) I have a lot of friends and a big social life and they really mean a lot to me so I get a lot of inspiration from them. So as I continue these blogs I will share with you a little bit more about me and my creative side through different medians. Let's see what comes of it...<br />

Interesting Fact:
fallenangel1333 is the name I use on all my creative social media to display my art. As I don't have many followers who know me by that name yet I'm hoping I can expand and get my name out there. I should probably update more as well.
