Frames

The first frame was made by putting a clipping mask over the picture and putting Polaroids on top to make it look as if there are many Polaroids making up one picture.

The second one was simply done by putting wood around the picture.

Polaroid Tape and Curl


The first picture was done by giving it a gradient and warping it with the warp tool.

The second one was done by using the brush tool, rectangle tool, and the eraser tool.

Paperclip Company Advertisement

The paperclip company is a company that reaches out to businesses and professional organizations to try to lure them to buy paperclips.The slogan for the paperclip company is "Holding companies together since 1967", which is the year that this company was founded.

I would imagine this advertisement being in a magazine like "Money" or "Fortune", which are magazine companies that reach out to businesses too.

I know that big companies only care about one thing, which is money. Money here, money there. That's why I incorporated that into my advertisement. This ad is more of a "clever" ad if anything, due to the money being held together by a paperclip. This is how I made it.

1) I took a picture of a 20 dollar bill, along with other bills, being held together by a paperclip on a table.
2) I thought that it would be cool if the bills "illuminated" a little, and so what I did was I used the dodge tool to make the money brighter, and I also brightened up the paperclip part even more so that it would bring the eye to the paperclip.
3) I then used the burn tool and burned the background.
4) I put the logo on the bottom left, so people could recognize it in the future.
5) I put the website link on the bottom right, so that if someone didn't understand the ad, they would understand it after reading the website.
6) I put the slogan in the top center with Swis721 Th BT font, which is a thin font and more professional font.





And here it is.

Spirit Cologne



The goal of this project was to make an advertisement for a company named Spirit Cologne. My task was to make the advertisement playful, yet mature while reeling in people from the ages of 13-35. I cut out 2 other models and put them on either side of me. I then got a picture from the internet of cologne from the company, and I put their slogan on the top left with their logo mid-centered. 

Below are the pictures that I got from the internet.

Black and white

I was able to de-saturate this picture, and make my shirt turn back green. I did this by desaturating the image, and used the history brush to bring back the color in my shirt.

High Pass Shot

This is another picture that I edited, which is my highpass shot. All I really did was make the colors of the NYC skyline look like I was actually there.

Sepia Shot

This shot was made by putting on 2 layer masks and messing with the color a little bit.
