4 Scene Comic Strip

castiyah000 — 2024-01-30 14:20:31 UTC

For this project we made a 4 scene comic strip where we have a mix of the silhouette and non silhouette people this time, we copy (ctrl + c) and paste (ctrl + V) from our other pervious comic strip people into our new background. After we finish putting our people and speech bubbles, we then use one of our scene to make our title page. The way we got our title is by going on a website called cool text and type our title and pick which font we want and download it. After all that we put our scenes into google slides and insert our title on the the our title page.

For this project we made a simple comic strip to get the feel of using the tools we will be using in future projects. We mask the people to cut them out of their original photos and then copy (ctrl + c) and paste (ctrl +v) into the background. Then we place and embedded the speech bubbles for the people, we then put filters on the people by going to filter> filter gallery> dry brush. And use the same filter for our background.

Word Art

castiyah000 — 2024-01-30 14:27:16 UTC

This is my very first art that I ever since the winter break that I Photoshop. Very easy and fun experience for getting to refresh my mind, you click on the name on the layers to open the layer style, then we use the bevel and emboss to give the word a 3D effect. And then use a outer glow to give the word art some glow.

Silhouette Comic I

castiyah000 — 2024-01-30 14:43:20 UTC

For this project we made another simple comic strip but we are instead blacking out the people on the comic strip to make it appear to look like Silhouettes. Once we mask and cut the background out, we select and mask we the click on the the layer and not the mask layer to use the paint brush to turn the person into a silhouette. After that's done we do the same thing as we would with a normal comic strip, copy (ctrl + c) and paste (ctrl +v) into your selected background picture. Then we place and embedded the speech bubbles
