Memory Book

For the cover of my memory book i put the clipping mask and the knight i made in the "Brushes in Photoshop" tutorial. For the second and third pages i put my scrapbook template in, and used pictures relating to the theme of the page (video games). For the fourth and fifth pages i made the "Project Wall" and put my the most significant and my favorite projects of the year on them. For the sixth and seventh pages i made "Memory Lane" and took my favorite pictures of myself and my friends from the year and put them on the pages. For the eighth and ninth pages i put my reflection essay and added significant pictures from the year in with the text. Finally for the last page i used the "Y U NO" meme and added the text "Coach Oualline Y U NO give me 100?"

Memory Book Tutorials


In this tutorial i added a frame around me by adding a white stroke and drop shadow, to bring attention to me on the zip-line.




In this tutorial i took a picture, flipped it horizontally and took a pink color to make the background. I then took the original photo and shrank it down to the middle of the background.




For this i took a picture of me holding my baby nephew and adjusted the hue/saturation of the photo to make it look faded and "vintage".



For this tutorial i took 10 pictures of myself, applied the vintage Polaroid effect to them, and used the clipping mask option to make it fit into the text that says "Freshman".

InDesign Tutorials


In this tutorial i modified the text by moving the "xploratio" up and reducing the size and making the E and the N bigger. I added an underline and fixed the bottom line of text.




In this tutorial I added the text "It's Easy Being Green" and changed the color of green from black to orange. added the text and made the phrase "reduce your carbon footprint" Arial bold, and black.



In this tutorial i took the picture of Charlize Theron and inserted the text, changing the size and color of certain lines, and i brought Charlize in front of the title of "Interview" magazine and added "introducing" with a type on path and changed the color.

Scrapbook page


First i collected logos from my favorite games and then i filled the background with black. I then arranged the logos along the top and the bottom of the picture. I then used rectangular marquees filled with red as dividers which will border the pictures.

Curl

For the curl tutorial i picked a picture of a chair and added a filled rectangular marquee with a black gradient and then used the warp tool to give the appearance of the corner curling.

Tape

In tape I chose a scenic picture of a mountain village and added a drop shadow to make it look like it's sticking out. To make the tape i used a rectangular marquee and added several layers of color and burning to make it look grungy, and added a drop shadow as well.
