14- Halloween Jack-o-Lantern

I made this Jack-o Lantern on Photoshop just using a picture of a pumpkin and extracting it from its original background to insert it in a new layer.  I also did it on a black solid color background to see the effects better. Then I added the layer style inner glow to the pumpkin itself. After I drew in the face designs of the jack-o-lantern, I put them all into 1 layer and added the layer styles; inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, gradient overlay and stroke to make the cool light gradient effect inside the shapes.  Finally, I added some light reflections outside using the soft round brush tool.



13- Change One Thing Poster




To make this poster mimicking the NYC Food Bank
poster.  I started out by making a blue linear gradient background. I created apple slices coming out of the bag instead of potato chips by using the
texture with layer modes technique I had previously used. Then I merged those layers together and added the blending options outer glow and satin. Finally I added the NYC Food Bank logo to finish the poster.

12- Texture with Layer Modes

To create this design on this dress I did the tutorial for texture with layer modes. I followed step by step the instructions on the tutorial and put the texture layer on top of the dress and selected a layer mode to make it look more natural and blended in like fabric would.

11-Flyer Made with Photoshop

To make this flyer I first opened a 6 x 4 file with 100 resolution.  Then I created a linear gradient in the background. After writing the who, what , when, where, and why on different layers, I followed the tutorials step by step to recreate the these three different font effects; "crazy" text, glass text, and plastic text.
