Introduction: This is a project in which our teacher let us decide what we wanted to create. I created this in my Sophomore year at Morristown High School. Our task for this project was to pick a tutorial that would take us 8-10 class periods to make. Our goal for this project was to advance our skills in Photoshop. By following tutorials skills to create a new project of our own topic and creation. This project had to be done in Photoshop.
Description: My thought process through out this was to find the best tutorials that looked interesting and that challenged my skills from Graphic Design. One of the first tutorials that popped up was how to make ART with the pen tool. This tutorial would make a person look like a cartoon. I decided that this would be one of my tutorials to recreate. The other tutorial that I chose to recreate was the Dispersion Effect. I thought that the Dispersion effect looked very artsy and cool. These two tutorials involved something that I had never done before in my Graphic Design class.

This Image was one of my first versions of the dispersion effect. I had worked on this for about one class period before noticing that the letters of the player's name were missing. I decided to that I had to start all over again, so I started a whole new one. For the dispersion effect I struggled a little more than the other tutorial because I could not figure out how to make the dispersion effect. At the end I asked the teacher for help, and he helped me find what I was doing wrong. I had the mode set on multiply which was preventing the dispersion effect to show, I had to change it to normal.

This is how my final project looks for the dispersion effect. It took me many tries to get the dispersion effect to work. It was definitely a very challenging tutorial to make, which challenged my skills in Photoshop. I am pretty happy about the way it looked, but I think there could be a lot of improvement done to it.

This is how my final project looked like for tutorial about creating ART with the pen tool. I was not able to get an early version of this because this tutorial did not take a lot of time to make. This tutorial took me about 2 periods to make. The most challenging part about this tutorial was making the hair have some texture to it. I based both of my tutorial on soccer players because I love soccer.
