MP2 Final Statement

My process for creating my final product with this project was very smooth and nothing was too complicated. I started by inserting all of my pictures into Photoshop, including my background picture that I used. Next I resized the images and placed them in a way that advertisements may be placed in a baseball stadium. After that, I had to reformat a few of the pictures that were obscured by one of the fielders or base runners. For this, I used the magnetic lasso tool to select the area around the person. By turning the frequency up to 100, I was able to trace the image better since it was dropping a pin more frequently. After I had the part of the image that I wanted, I copied the portion that was in the way of the photo and repasted it on top of the photo layer. Finally, I went in with the eraser tool and smoothed out any rough areas where it didn’t copy perfectly. Finally, I made the picture look more rustic by putting it in black and white. Finally, I renamed my layers so I could figure out their chronological order. My intent was to make it seem like the pictures were originally part of the stadium backdrop. I wanted them to transition smoothly into the backdrop. Overall, I really enjoyed this project and learned a lot about the tools that are available on Photoshop. I never would’ve noticed some of the things about my trip to Art Education every morning if I hadn’t taken pictures along the way. It made my walk more enjoyable and much more interesting.
