Lesson 6: Color and Swatches

This lesson covered the different types of color "groups" as I'll call them: RGB, CMYK, and HSB.
It also showed how the eyedropper tool and swatches work.

For my project, I made an gathered colors from both outside documents and my own experience to create what I call a 60's color palate

Lesson 5: Drawing Shapes

WHEN CAPTAIN AMERICA THROWS HIS MIGHTY SHIELD

Project 2 & 3

I'm actually quite proud of these two, I think they turned out quite beautifully

Project 2 we made to create a matte painting in Photoshop, combining several pictures to make one.

Project 3 was making another movie poster, but blending, shading and adding elements. I think it turned out quite well!  (though, apparently my tiny Baymax was not needed)

Lesson 4: Drawing Lines

This lesson shows how to use, make and edit the various lines and line tools. In all honesty, drawing individual lines for something that could be made using the shape tool does seem a bit much, but for those times you do need just plain lines, this works well.

Personally, I made a tiny city/logo. I think it's quite cute.

Lesson 14- Printing Your Image

This lesson covered printing and the various parts that go into it. Personally, I don't foresee much printing in my future, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's good information to know.
