Doing Self-made Advertisement Using Adobe Photoshop

Note: No copyright infringement intended. Pictures used are just for my project in my course subject Multimedia Production. The brands used are FOLDED AND HUNG (one of the best apparel brands in the Philippines) and BH COSMETICS (LA-based e-commerce retailer and wholesaler that offers gorgeous makeup at affordable prices). :)

Original Photos:

The photo I took (with the help of my brother Oscar, and Tom as the co-model)

Folded and Hung's logo

Boston Alley picture I downloaded from Google Images

Edited Photo:

Using the pen tool for filtering the photo I took, some shapes, brush effects, hue and saturation, levels, and free transform tools, I came up with this Ad layout. :)

Original Photos:

The Photo I Took (selfie! XD)

Photos of BH Cosmetic's Glamorous Blush I donwloaded from Google Images (I actually use the product and it's really great! :))

Photo of BH Cosmetic's 120 Color Palette I donwloaded from Google Images (Using this also and I really recommend it, fellas ;))

And of course, the logo of BH Cosmetics

Again, using some shapes, crop tool for cropping my original photo, pen tool for filtering BH Cosmetics' photos, blending options for the BH Cosmetics' logo, and adjusting the light and saturation of my original picture using levels tool, I came up with this Ad layout. :)

Thanks for viewing! God bless! :)

Moving Picture to a Different Background Using Adobe Photoshop

This is another project we did for our course subject Multimedia Production with Laboratory. No copyright infringement intended for the owners of the background pictures I used. Thank you! :)

Progress 0:

So I grabbed this pic from Beach Life Widescreen Wallpapers HD | Es Walls | Quality HD Wallpapers from eswalls.com,

And I grabbed one from my pictures,

Opened both to Adobe Photoshop,

then changed the image size of both to 300 resolution.

Progress 1:

I used the Pen Tool (P) and zoomed in the picture so that I can see the edges clearer, and see better the path I'm working on.

Progress 2:

I traced the whole outline of myself in the picture, still using the pen tool.

Progress 3:

After tracing the outline,

I connected the last anchor point to the first one to create a path.

Progress 4:

I clicked CTRL and Enter to make a selection,

made sure the layer is unlocked,

then clicked CTRL SHIFT I to inverse the selection.

Progress 5:

I clicked DELETE to remove my previous background,

then used the Move Tool (V)

to transfer my cropped picture into the Background I grabbed from the net.

Progress 6:

I clicked CTRL T for Free Transform, to re-size the cropped picture,

and using the Move Tool, I moved the picture to my desired position.

Progress 7:

I used the Levels (CTRL L) to edit the lighting and shadows, so that the lighting of the cropped picture will fit to the lighting of the background.

Progress 8:

Finished Product!

I just made some adjustments with the position, and removed some remains from the original background of my picture. :)

Here are some other pictures I edited! :)

At the Eiffel Tower :D

At the Manila Hotel Lobby :)

At the Marina Bay Sands ;)

Thank you for viewing! :D God bless! :*

Coloring Line Art Using Adobe Photoshop

This is another project of ours for our course subject Multimedia Production with Laboratory. No copyright infringement intended for the owner of the line art. :)

Progress 0:

I downloaded some Little Mermaid line art from Google images

----

Progress 1:

Opening the jpeg in Adobe, I set the resolution to 300 and then click on the levels (ctrl l) to adjust the strength of the lines. I also made sure that the lines are solid, so that when I use the Magic Wand Tool (W), together with the Paint Bucket Tool (G) or the Brush Tool (B), the color won't leak to the other parts.

----

Progress 2:

Using the Magic Wand Tool (W), I selected each part which has the same color.

Then, using the Brush Tool (B), I colored those parts. You can also use the Paint Bucket Tool (G).

Continue the process with the other parts.

---

Progress 3:

As you look at the hair, I selected the outline using again the Magic Wand Tool, then colored the hair outline with a darker shade of red. Continue the process with the other parts. (Ex. As for the pink parts, color the outline with a darker shade of pink)

As for the face, adjust the Brush Tool's Size, Opacity, and Flow to create desired amount of brush for the light and shadow effects.

---

Progress 4:

Before I continued the process in Progress 3 for the other parts, I did some "chroma", setting the background to green. This green background can help not to leak some color when you decide to change the color of the background afterwards.

Although, this optional and you can decide what color to use, and the best choice is a color that your subject for coloring does not have.

After that, I just continued repeating the process in Progress 3 for the other parts.

Note: You can zoom out your image (Ctrl + / Ctrl -) from time to time so that you can check if you're applying the highlights and shadows right.
