Evaluation

For my fantasy landscape i have taken a picture of the roundabout outside of the college with a car going around it and i have also taken a picture of Charlie on a teletubbies kids ride in the shopping center and had one taken on each seat. Though out the project my idea changed because i had the original idea but it was going to have a kids roundabout in the middle but then thought that it would not be very good and a bit boring so i changed it to be more interesting. When taking the pictures i used a canon camera and took the pictures as if the kids ride was moving around. The problems i had was that once i had put the picture onto the background the top layer looked like it was tipping forward so i had to change it by warping it to look like it was flat on the floor and not tilting forward. Overall i like my picture because i think that it is different and its colourful also its quite funny because the women in the car looks like she is looking at the kids ride. If i could redo my picture i might have added something else to make it more interesting to look at. Also if i had more time i would have made a couple of landscapes and see which one i liked the most to do as my final.

Photoshop Workshop- Vignetting

When using vignetting it creates a soft boarder where as the other way of creating a boarder makes it bold. Also this way of making a boarder means that it doesn't have to be a straight line you can add curves and other effects. To do vignetting you have to select the brush tool on the tool bar then select a colour you want your boarder to be making sure that the size of the brush is the size you want and the opacity is set at 100%. 

Then select a new layer then go around the edge of the picture holding the shift key to make the line straight.
