Photoshoped Diving Board

Photoshoped Diving Board, originally uploaded by Sophie C 2009.

This is still the Touched Up Lady unit but something else.I touched up the diving board so it looks like the lady is diving off of nothing. I think it was loads of fun and it was really easy. It looks really funny. I like it a lot.

Tilted School and Tree

Tilted School and Tree, originally uploaded by Sophie C 2009.

This unit we did Digital Photography. I like this photo because it has tilt and it looks pretty. We were taught to tilt the camera or add a perspective to the photos more interesting. We were in groups and we each took many photos. It was a grey day so the photos weren't as good as they could be.

Line Tile Clones

This project we had to make clones and put designs on them. At first it was difficult to understand and I made many mistakes.But after a few practises it became easier. This is my favourite because it looks like the lines are glowing. I enjoyed this project.

Group Project

This picture I did with a team of Nicole, Beatriz and Patricia. Together we chose the picture then split the jobs up. I did the background with the sun. Once everyone had done their part they all put it onto classworks and I imported them then put them in their places, made them bigger or made them smaller to make this final picture. Then I uploaded it to classworks so they could all grab it.

I found this really easy. After choosing the picture it became easy and we did it really quickly. I would love to do another!

Edited Feet

Edited Feet, originally uploaded by Sophie C 2009.

For this unit we started Digital Photography. First of all we went outside on a nice day and took loads of photos of different things. Here in this photo I took our feet (from the bottom clockwise, me, Johnie, David, Patricia and Beatriz). Then we went back inside, uploaded the photos and photoshoped them with the filters.

The second picture is the original of the photoshoped photo.

Touched Up Lady

We started touching up faces like they do for magazines. This is my first attempt. We used the clone stamp tool to get rid of wrinkles, lines etc. I also made the teeth look whiter.

I found this quite easy. The only tricky part was that you had to make sure that no one could see the stamp on the part of the face. Apart from that it was easy. It was also lots of fun.

Simple Tesselation

We started to do tessellations. Here is my simple tessellation that you can multiply to make different designs. This is a basic tile.

I enjoy making tiles because you can make different them different shapes and colours. You can also put things on top.

I found this quite easy. Once you have the method it is really easy.

Patterned Shoes

At the moment we are learning to make patterns out of objects we have already made or found off the Internet. I made these two shoes.

The first one I made with my shiny hearts. I made three in a row then made them a pattern. I had to outline the shoe with the bezier tool.

The second one, my converse, I made with my fat penguin. I did the same with my converse that I did with my Vans.

At the beginning I found it hard because I tryed to make it a pattern and it wouldn't work. But as I practised and kept trying I eventually got the hang of it. Now I am making Vans and Converse.

My Fat Penguin

My Fat Penguin, originally uploaded by Sophie C 2009.

This is my EXTREMELY fat penguin! He looks a little different because I made him from scratch. I looked at one that had already been done but apart from that I did everything myself. The hardest part for me was the arms because they are actually triangles that have been rounded. It was hard and frustrating because sometimes the triangle would be too round and hen it would be too pointy. Eventually I got their and I now have an extremely fat penguin that I am very happy with!!

My Turtle

My Turtle, originally uploaded by Sophie C 2009.

I made this turtle with the Bezier tool. The Bezier tool is almost like a pen. I traced this from an image. I did it by doing the largest item first which would be the back part/ the shell. The added the head and four arms. I made a yellow part and placed that on the top. I didn't actually make the eyes, I imported them from a file in Mr Muntwyler's folder! First of all it was quite tricky but then as we practised it became much easier.

Fuzzy Blob

Fuzzy Blob, originally uploaded by Sophie C 2009.

This is probably one of my favourite creations. I like it because I think it is very cute and fuzzy! This was also probably the most simplest ones I have done so far. All it is, is a couple of circles and blurring them, then I used the Bezier tool to do the antennas. But overall it was quite simple.

I made this then played around with it to make it my own. Instead of doing spikes for the hair I used the blur tool. I think he is very cute!
