So, I am trying again.
In the first part of the class we explored the Photoshop environment and played with some filters. I had done this before, but it is always kind of fun, although not particularly useful for my business needs at the moment.
Here is a favorite photo of my favorite bear and doll, Figaro and His Puppet.
Here is the same photo skrinkwrapped!!! Actually the filter is called "plastic wrap", and I found the effect quite amusing! If you click on the picture to view it larger, you will see that they do indeed look like they are covered tightly in plastic wrap and pressed to a cardboard backing!

Here is one I rather liked called "poster edges".I particularly liked the way the lines accentuated the swirly texture of Figaro's fur and makes his puppet look antiqued. You may need to enlarge it to see what I mean.

Finally, I used a photograph of my Little Floppies and the filter called "rough pastels" to create these images. I love the texture of these in their large format. As smaller images they just look a little blurry, but larger, they really do look like "rough pastels".


There is a lot more to do, and by the end of the class I should have designed a new business card. I hope it will "stick" this time!

Thanks Li *blush*
I could do with learning Photoshop. I use Fireworks for my website, which is mostly the same, but some things are the other way round and this doesn't do what this usually does etc!
Loving the filters!
As always, loving the bears too!
