Personal Project

Here is my final personal project. I used some of the techniques from the retro poster tutorial to create my background using a few different effects in addition to create the background seen below. I used the vintage Polaroid tutorial to create all of the effects on the pictures that i used. i do not have my original pictures here at school on my h drive so i cannot put them on here but i got them from my computer at home when i worked on this at home. I picked a variety of things from this school year to represent things that have happened, places ive been and things that i enjoy doing. in addition i added some simple text but messed with the colors and the layer style to create different effects. i also used some brushes on the background and changed the layer to color dodge. Overall im really happy with how it turned out :)

Guitar Pattern Design

Here is my design pattern. it wasnt too hard to make. the only thing is my guitar circles did not fit together as well as the ones on the tutorial. the tutorial also said to do certain things to the background that just messed mine up and i liked the way this looked better. i also added some smoke behind the guitar instead of what the tutorial had. other than that it all worked out pretty good.
