During the two week period we had for pixar in a box, I chose to do a different, independent project. My intention was to do 2 projects, however time prevented that. My goal was to create my first sketch for my Senior Project using photoshop and create food doodles. Due to time and many problems, I was only able to focus on my Senior Project animation. I chose to create my first mural design on photoshop because I knew I would be able to produce the results I'd want using this application. To do this, first I had to get a picture of my first pencil sketch. From there, we imported the photo to photoshop. I changed the threshold on the photo so the lines would appear black, similar to a coloring page. Then, I created a second layer, the one that would be colored on. After coloring, I needed to get a font from Dafont.com for the words on the signs. I ran into a few problems, the first being I spent a whole class period trying to figure out how to get different brush shapes, specifically one that looked like grass. After finally figuring it out, photoshop would not let me use the brush. The second problem I ran into was the font. Because the lab computers don't save any files after logging out, each time I reopen the document on the lab computers it will give me warnings about the font. The last problem I ran into was with the image. After completing almost all of it, I discovered that certain things didn't look good or they weren't proportionate. for that, we had to make copies of the first and second layers, resize and erase all the extra parts that I wouldn't need and then go back to the original layers to erase the parts that weren't needed. Overall, I'm very content with what I've accomplished and I'm thankful I was able to take the time to work on this.
