Web Client Programming By Wei Jian Zhen: Project 2 Collage Lettering

In this lab, I created two masks with different styles in Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. First I opened up Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. Secondly, I gone to the Photoshop bar on the top hand corner of the the program. Thirdly I clicked on File to open its tab. Next I clicked on New on the File tab to create a new Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 document. After I clicked on New, a window popped up showing me the settings for the Photoshop document. I named my Photoshop document Project 2 and kept the default settings. I clicked OK to confirm my options. Then, I gone to the Photoshop bar and clicked on File again. I clicked on Place Embedded this time. A window popped up showing me all my files. I clicked and selected a saved picture of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I pressed OK to confirm. The image appeared on the Photoshop document. I held down shift, clicked on the right hand side of the image, held down the mouse, dragged the image to the right, let go of the mouse, moved the cursor to the left side of the image, held down the mouse, dragged the image to the left, let go of the mouse, let go of the shift key, and clicked on the Move tool to confirm the image adjustments. I clicked on the Magic Wand tool to select it. I clicked and dragged my mouse onto the image until most of the selection was covered over Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Therefore, I clicked on the Quick Selection tool to fill in the rest of my selection until all of the selection was covered on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I clicked on the Magnetic Lasso tool to select it. I clicked on the subtraction option button on the top hand corner of Photoshop. I clicked and moved the mouse around the selections I want to remove so I can only have the selection on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I clicked on the combine option button to add missing selections. Using the same method as subtract selection to remove them, I added the missing selections to have only the selection on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Once the selection has been done, I gone to the Photoshop bar to click on Select and clicked on Inverse. I clicked on the mask button on the lower right hand corner of Photoshop to create a mask (meaning cutout in this case) of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I clicked on the paths tab to create a path. I clicked on the layer with the original Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and clicked on the eye icon to hide the image so that the mask only shows up on the Photoshop document. After that, I clicked on the text tool. I clicked just outside the mask to type in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. multiple times, "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." This made a outline of the mask. I clicked on the New Layer button to create a new layer from the lower right hand corner of Photoshop. Afterwards I clicked on the color and contrast button on the lower left hand corner of Photoshop. I clicked on New Color Fill LAyer to fill in the new layer blue. I moved the blue layer above the mask but below the text layers to create a blue background with the words outlining to create a silhouette of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Finally I saved the Photoshop document and went on to do the other half of this project.

Now first off on part 2 of Project 2 Collage Lettering, I exited out of part 1 of Project 2 and opened a new Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 document. I gone to the Photoshop bar and clicked on File. I clicked on Place Embedded on the File tab to place the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. image. I held shift, clicked on the lower left hand corner, held my mouse button, and dragged diagonally downwards towards the edges of the Photoshop document. I clicked on the Move tool to move the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. image to my selected area. I clicked on the Magic Wand tool. I clicked and dragged my mouse over the selected areas that I wanted to place. I clicked and selected the Quick Selection tool. I clicked and dragged the mouse over the image so that the selection mostly is on only Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I clicked on the Magnetic Lasso tool to click on the subtraction icon on the top hand corner of Photoshop. I encircled the parts that I didn't want for the selection. I did this by clicking on one point, moving my mouse around the selection I didn't want, and clicking back to the original point to select or remove the certain selections. I zoomed in and out using Command Plus and Command Minus on the Macintosh keyboard. I clicked on the addition icon on the top hand corner of Photoshop. I encircled the parts I wanted to add for the selection by clicking on one point, moving my mouse around for the selection I wanted, and clicking back to the original point to add the certain selections. I zoomed in and out again by using Command Plus and Command Minus on the Macintosh keyboard. Once the selection is only on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I gone to the Photoshop bar. I clicked on Select to show a tab and clicked on Inverse to make the selection inverted. I gone to the lower right hand corner of Photoshop to click on the mask button. Once I clicked on the mask button, a masked appeared showing the silhouette of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Also, the silhouette image was linked to the original image. Now, I searched up images online that in my mind symbolize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I saved all of the selected images into the computer files. After that, I gone back to Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 to go to the Photoshop bar. I clicked on File on the Photoshop bar which opened a tab so that I could click on Place Embedded to place the images symbolizing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A window appeared showing me all the images symbolizing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the computer files. I clicked on the first image which was a peace sign and pressed OK. The image was placed on the Photoshop document. I held down shift, went to the lower right hand corner of the image, clicked and held down the mouse button, dragged diagonally upwards, and released when the size was desirable. I had hit enter to confirm the size. I clicked on the Move tool to move the image on the mask inside the area of the silhouette. I did this for all of the rest of the images until the silhouette was filled up. Finally I moved the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. layer to the top so that the mask could envelop the images and rearranged my image layers to its selected place in the layers panel. I saved my Photoshop document. Knowing how to use a path and mask is useful for web designers when creating artwork of their own or for others. Knowing how to use a path can help you make decorative ads to advertise a product too.
