8-31-17 Gothic Head Swap and Jaguar X

RJ Li

My first time doing an assignment in Photoshop was fairly easy. My first assignment was to swap heads of man to a woman’s body and a woman’s head to a man’s body. This assignment is titled “Gothic Head Swap”. Learning the shortcuts on Photoshop were difficult at first but it got easy over time. Everything else was fairly easy to learn and I didn’t have an issue with anything else. What I did was trace the guy’s head with the magnetic lasso tool and then use the regular lasso tool to remove and add some parts on the head. I then copied and pasted it to make a new layer and lined the man’s head with the woman’s head and covered her head. I also did the same thing with the woman’s head. After I swapped the heads, I used the clone stamp tool to remove any excess background. Then voila I was finished.

The second assignment I did was something called “Jaguar X”. This assignment was a pretty cool one.

When my teacher introduced this assignment and showed us how to do it my mind was blown.What I did was make a layer and type the letter X, color it a specific color using RGB, used the lasso tool and made jaguar spots, duplicated a layer, used two filters (Noise and Blur), merged the two layers, made the copy layer a soft light layer, and made the copy a reflection by using the free transform tool,flipping it vertically and skewing it.
