Photoshop Progress Portfolio

The objective from now on is to save all the work that you are and will continue doing with Photoshop. With this you will be able to measure and see your progress and all the things that you can do now.

So let’s begin with it, to start your portfolio follow the instructions below.

• Start a new Word document with the following guidelines:
  

1. Create a personalized background to use as a COVER.
   

• Start a new document in Photoshop (name: background, width 612 points x height 792 points, resolution 30 px/inch, RGB 8 bit color, transparent background) Create a collage of different pictures where you show some things that you like (flowers, colors, music, etc.) Use the magic wand tool and the lasso polygonal tool to remove the unwanted background of the pictures you choose. Save it as JPEG medium quality and place it as the background of your cover.

• The cover must include: full name, ID, grade & section, subject name, and as a title “My Photoshop Portfolio”

2. On the following sheets, you’ll place the result of the 5 practices you’ve done so far. (1-photomontage, 2-adjustment layer, 3-clone stamp tool, 4-red eye tool, 5-healing brush tool)

• As title of each sheet use the name of the practice and include the following:

• Explain the process that needs to be done to use those tools, use screen prints that show the steps of the process. (example: for creating a new file the process is: FileàNewàtype the specifications)

• If is the case, place both before & after pictures.

Be creative!
