For my Photoshop Interveiw Project, I interveiwed Lance Classen at Stadium Sports. Stadium Sports does all the surrounding schools sports T-shirt designs, or jerseys. Stadium does not actually do their own designs. Two companies in Lincoln do their actual printing. Stadium is the "go between" between those who need the designs and the printing companies. But they still gave me useful advice. The first piece of advice was to stay on task, and don't fall behind. Work there piles up fast! Secondly, you do not need any artistic ability really, just creativity. Finally, you need to have a large selection of templates of designs for the customers to choose from. The more options they have to choose from, the better!

PaSsIoN...
My first photo was taken by someone on Flickr. I picked this photo because of my interests in sports. Passion best describes this picture because you need true passion in a sport to succeed to your fullest potential. To create this image I first went to Image, Adjustments, Desaturate. That took away the color of the image. Next I used the eraser tool to add the color back to the two blockers at the net, and the opponets numbers. Finally, I added the text "Passion..." to decribe my photo.









InSpIrAtIoN...
M second photo was taken by a parent, after Prom mass in '08. This picture best describes inspiration because, my friends inspire me each and everyday. They are always there for me, in good times and in bad. My first step in creating this photo was to go to Image, Adjusments, Desaturate. Like in the first photo, this took away the color. Next, I used the eraser tool to add back the color in us four girls, and the brick walls of the church in the background. This gave it a more "eye-popping" look. Finally, I used the Text tool to add the "*BAMM..." BAMM stands for the first letter in our names. (Brittany, Avery, McKenzie, Molly) I corresponded the color of our dress, or outfit to the letters. Since Brittany's dress was pink the B was pink as well, and so on and so forth.

Photo 1-*I liked this photo because, I like sports. Also, I like how the picture is focused on the hockey player, yet the background still sticks out.

Photo 3-*This beautiful sunset has many focus points, yet it doesn't leave you wandering. The colors pop, yet the bridge and people on the beach really stick out.

Photo 4-*The clouds in this photo are mind dazzling. The photographer captured the picture at the perfect time. Just as the sun was shining out from behind the many different sized clouds.

Photo 5-*This photo is beautiful. The trees reflecting on the water surface makes the photo, yet you can still see the sun as its setting.

*Photoshop Podcasts...

Itunes has a great sellection of podcasts to veiw on the web. I watched a podcasts called "Zoomify" by Richard Harrington. In this, I learned how to take a high resolution images, and break them down into an interactive image. Also, it tells you the different affects background colors will have on the photo. There are many different qualities that you can have in a photo, "Zoomify" helps you choose a quality that will best suit your picture. Its just 3 easy steps File, Export, Zoomify! I encourage those who have great photo "making" ability to take it to the next level, by using Zoomify

*..Apple..

I enjoyed the great photos on Apple. Its a very easy access website to find great ideas from different photos. Also, I like to see the other photos to give me ideas of different things I can do, besides photos. Finally, searching the gallery is fun! It will come in handy!
