Scratch Reflection

  For my first image, I was really trying hard to figure out what to do. I used the fill layer option, and filled the whole backround with blue. Then, after messing around with some things, I used the polygon lasso tool to create a star shape and filled it with yellow. After that I used the paint brush tool and used different sizes to create stars in the backround. Even though I have used Adobe Photoshop before in a class at RCC, I have become "rusty" and forgot a few things.

  In my second image, I was inspired by my craving for ice cream. Again I used the Polygon lasso tool to create cones, and used the regular lasso tool for the actual ice cream itself. After that I used the shift + F5 hotkey to fill in layers for the colors i wanted. Since I did not want to take the time to make a lot of ice cream for a pryamid, I started to search for a tool to make it easier for me. I found or rediscovered the duplicate layer tool, and away I went duplicating ice cream after ice cream. This would have to be my favorite image because I had so much fun creating it.

  Finally my last but not least, third image had to be one of the easiest. Most of the image was created by using the Polygon lasso tool to create that sharp edge. After creatingn all the shapes, I simply filled them in with color using shift + F5. Then I placed each layer according to what effect I wanted in the image, for instace: to have mountains behind the grass. I will definitely have to get better aquainted with the Mac and Adobe Photoshop 5. Overall I had fun creating these images and never really stuck to one idea I had, it was always changing.
