The first thing we did was open a new filein photoshop and opened the base of the project in photoshop. The base contained all the fruits and vegetables we were going to use: a blueberry for the pupil, a carrot for the eye, a pear tomato for the nose, a radish for the eyebrow, a mushroom for the hat, maccaroni for the bow tie, a kiwi for the mouth, an orange for the ears, and of course a melon for the head. The various selection tools were used for the project were the marquee tool (both eliptical and rectangular), the lasso tool (normal lasso, polygonal lasso, and magnetic lasso), the quick selection tool, and the magic wand.
We used the normal lasso to select the pear tomato, since it had curves and with the normal lasso the human is is control and curves can be made. However there were imperfections were an area was to jagged or we left out too much of an area. So we learned that we can add to our selection by holding down shift and do the opposite by holding down alt. The blueberry and carrot were circular objects. To select them we held down shift while using the eliptical marque, which makes the marquee select a circular area. The magic wand was used to select the radishes. However I used a shortcut. I used the rectangular marquee the select the radishes and the area around it, then used the magic wand to select the radishes, and finally made a layer via copy. For the mushroom and orange I used the magnetic lasso. The magnetic lasso makes a selection based on color difference. The orange had two distinct colors, redish-orange and white, so the anchors the lasso layed down were in the right places I needed it to be, in the junction between the pulp and husk. The mushroom had more than two colors. The lasso still worked fine but for some parts I needed to set the anchor to stop it from selecting the wrong things. The eliptical marquee was used to select the kiwi and melon.
The radishes and oranges were special since there needed to be two of them and they needed to be mirror images of eachother. Copying was easy, right click the layer and copy. To make the mirror images we needed to go to edit in the menu bar. Then we needed to go to transform and flip horizontal. The oranges needed to be rotates so in edit free transform was selected for this purpose. The layers needed to be arranged appropriately. The mushroom was supposed to be behind the melon so it was the bottom layer. Next was the melon. All the fruit and vegetables were going to be layed on top of the melon so the melon was placed after the mushroom so the other objects don't get blocked by it. Finally, all the other objects were arranged to form a face.
These skills are important for a web designer because a web designer must know how to properly edit their work. Selecting things and placing things are skills that need to be learned to make appealing peices of work. In this lab I learned how to add and subtract from my selection. I learned that if I don't make the perfect selection the first time it's okay because I can add or subtract to it. I also learned that you can make interesting and good peices of work from unexpected things. We made something that looks like a face from fruits and vegetables. This shows us that we can use unexpected things to make our work more appealing.
