Surreal "Must haves" list

Your surreal image must have evidence of these software techniques-

I'll look for them on your layers palette...

• Layer masks
• Adjustment Layers

I'll also look to see that you used

• Brushes (soft and sharp brushes)
• Transform tools ( scale, warp, puppet warp, or free transform)
• Selection tools (how accurate are your selections?)

DO YOU KNOW THESE TOOLS?

Be sure you know what these are and how to use them........

Selection tools: Lasso, magic wand, magnetic lasso and Quick selection tools are used to select pixels.

This is the quick selection tool- push it around to select pixels!

Layer Masks are used to HIDE and REVEAL pixels on a layer...

Adjustment Layers are used to change the Hue or Saturation or light and Dark of pixels on a layer. Don't forget to Clipping mask it to the layer!

Here is one of the controls for the Adjustment Layer.....

GRAB THESE and put them in PHOTOSHOP

Posting the Fire Fighter Patch

When you complete your design POST it to the blog and answer these questions about your ideas and design.....

1. Shapes/symbols- How did you use visual clues to tell the audience about the fire fighting group? How are they supposed to interpret the patch? (sad, happy, proud, brave?)

2. Colors/contrast- Are the colors important to your design? Do they mean something? How did you use contrast to help the audience see what is important in your patch?

3. Can you read it?  How did you use size, contrast, fonts, or location of the text to help the audience read the patch?
