I used Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create and refine this portfolio piece. The initial focus of this project was to gage our skills and understanding on the use of Photoshop. My work does display my knowledge and understanding of this application, for example I used the following tools to get a clean, sleek, unique, and professional look: Quick selection wand, masking, type tools, blending and layer styling. I also furthered my fundamental skills from just using the brightening and contrasting that manipulates the lightness and darkness of the image to editing, sharpening, and blending photos to create something that embodies who I am and the goal I am reaching for. This is just a small part of what was used to create a final piece to display a contemporary, uniqueness of what I envision my future to be.
