"Create Your World" Collage


I took a grungy metal texture and put it under as the background. After I took a scan of the guy with the iPod and overlayed him onto the background. I had to duplicate him in order for him to show up better. I took the other guy with the tablet and did a selective color range on his background to delete it. I took my scanned in black ink and did an overlay.

Another T-Shirt Design! This is Africa


So this was the T-shirt I have designed. I used all my photo's from Cameroon to make a mosaic of one of my other photos. Then I created a mask out of the shape of Africa to cut out the outline in the mosaic. The flaming cross was made using a tutorial I found on the internet, but I modified it for a image rather than text. For the background I started out with a solid color and then used the burn tool to go around the edges to give it a more 3d effect. Then I downloaded a few extra brushes and used them to make the rough edges with the eraser. Also some brushers were used with the burn tool to give the stained effect. Then I put it all together and added a drop shadow to Africa.

Anti-Bullying T-Shirt Design

So these are my T-Shirt Designs for Anti-bullying day. I really like the spraypaint and grungy look. The text is a bit distracting though. All I did was took a image of a fist and scaled it up and did a threshold on it to help make it plain Black and White. I downloaded a few brushes as well for spray painting it.

Little Girl



After doing the photo corrections and cropping it, I took a paint brush and changed it's blending mode to saturation. Then I made it feather quite a bit and went over all the area that is not the girl to give her a Halo effect.

Bollo-bollo


After doing the photo corrections, I outlined everything in the photo except the balloons. I desaturated everything else and then inverted the selection and increased the saturation on the balloons.

Esteban and Devotions

















These photos only have color corrections on them. All though the second phot could do a bit better with the color balance as Jessica is to blue looking with the coloring on her skin.

African Men


I only really did a basic color correction with this photo. The most noticible difference from the original photo is that I've used to the Dodge and Burn tools on the ground, trees and the men's faces.
