Common Tools

4. Crop Tool: The crop tool is used to cut off a portion of your photo. This is one possible way to make a photo smaller. There are other options which allow you to resize the image as you crop. The crop tool is one of the few tools that doesn’t have any hidden tools beneath it.

5. Lasso Tool: The lasso tool is used to select a specific part of a photo. Use this tool to draw a shape on your photo, which will form a selection marquee (sometimes called “marching ants”). Now any adjustments you make will only affect this portion of the photograph. When you click and hold this button, several other selection tools are displayed, which give you varying methods of making your selection.

6. Text Tool: The text tool is pretty intuitive. It allows you to add text to your image. The text tool can be used in one of two ways. You can click once on your image using the text tool to type lined text, or you can click-and-drag in order to create a text box which allows you to format the space your text occupies. Any text placed on your image will become part of your image once you save the document for Web publication.

7. What buttons do you push on the keyboard (for a Mac, not PC) to "UNDO" a mistake you made?
Control and z or command and z

8. What can you open to "undo" more than one mistake? How do you open it?

9. What is a histogram and why is it useful?

Rotating Heading

10. How do you rotate an image?


11. If you don't like the initial cropping box you drew, how can you change it before you make your crop?


12. Under the heading "Resizing while Cropping" when you enter dimensions as you crop, what are you telling Photoshop to do as you crop your image? HINT: it involves ratios.

For Printing

13. What is the correct resolution for newsletters and newspapers?


14. What is the correct resolution for magazines?

Best magazine covers of 2014 and the last 40 Years

FAVORITE MAGAZINE COVER

"The Walking Dead, the most popular drama on cable television, also happens to be filmed exclusively in metro Atlanta. Which made the show a no-brainer (no pun intended) for our cover. We reached out to the films' stars— Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus—months in advance, hoping we could shoot them right in our own backyard. Naturally the only time their schedules overlapped was 2,500 miles away in Hollywood, so we organized a last-minute shoot there, hiring not just stylists and makeup artists for the subjects, but also body part models whose hands were zombified by a special makeup artist. We originally envisioned one cover with both Lincoln and Reedus, but once photographer John Russo shot them individually, we knew we had to do a split run. It was the right call; the show's rabid fans are still contacting us from around the world, wanting us to mail them both covers." - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contest/past-winners-finalists/2014-winners-finalists#sthash.3Su1SPAW.dpuf

Maelle is my partner. I will shoot her pictures in front of the school and it would be in front of some nice flowers at nice different angles so it would bring a nice effect. The mood of the photo shoot would be optimistic, casual and just fun.

Photos of 2014

Part One:

This is one of my favorite pictures because it is showing one of the best rappers and entertainers in this picture. The quality is very sharp from everywhere and is focusing on Jay-Z and Beyonce. The photo of composition that was applied to this picture was a little bit of balance and rule of thirds.

This is one of my favorite pictures because it is showing a different point of view and is leading lines. I ask like it because there is no empty space and it just feels really full and it looks like I would want to be here. The road is very blurry but it balances out when you are focusing on the motorcycle and the trees.

This picture is very legit because it looks like the Grand Canyon and it is really cool and it looks like the perspective is very vivid. This one also has leading lines and shows a lot of rule of thirds in many different places. This photo was sharp and was taken at an excellent angle and is really eye appealing.

Part Two:

This is my favorite song because it is talking about the thing that runs the world and it is everything that i would need. Money and the way they talk about it brought it to my attention. And it was the best part of 2014 because that is when i got a job and started to get money.

This is my favorite movie because i like the story behind it, an that is, you can start from the bottom and get to the top. The funniness and techniques they used to make this movie possible brought it to my attention. It was the best part because it was funny and serious at the same time.

This is on of the most spoke about news cast because it was another death of another African-American and it is more amazing for me because i was there the day after he died and got to see all of those people protest. It was very tragic and was very important for people to hear about and put a stop to black on white crimes.

Ray Rice is a running back for the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL and he hit his girlfriend Janay and later on got married. It was one of the most talked about sports news because he is a big time running back. It wasn't the best of 2014 because it isn't the best to hit your girlfriend.

Part Three:

1. The thing that happened to me that was very memorable was me getting money for my car and I was very thankful for that.

2. My goals for 2015 is to get my car, get good grades and have a stress free high school year.

3. In 2015, I am looking for a great year with kindness and cheer.
